Join or ignore the anti-meta fedi pact
EDIT: I’ve gone ahead and posted this as an announcement on furry.engineer and pawb.fun. I’d strongly encourage our community, both here and on Mastodon please provide me with your opinions and thoughts.
Given it seems like it’s predominantly blocking Meta’s new “Project 92” initiative[1 [www.theverge.com]] which is an ActivityPub-based Twitter clone that could theoretically integrate with other services like Lemmy and Mastodon.
I’m personally against preemptively blocking them, despite my hatred for Facebook / Meta / whatever Mark Zuckerberg decides to call the company today. I may consider a silence action to avoid any excessive flooding / spamming of the federated timeline, especially if their rules don’t align with ours on key topics, such as advertising and misinformation.
re: request for stance on facebook
@crashdoom all facebook instances should be preemptively defederated – throughout their existence fb has been malicious in an uncountable amount of utterly horrible ways, and should not be offered a clean slate
