I’ve been hearing that Meta (Facebook) intends to join the fediverse. I have some very big concerns about that, as do apparently many others. There exists a group of instances called the fedipact which will not be federating with Meta, and I was wondering if this instance would be joining. So there is no ambiguity with this post: I have no desire to participate in any instance that is federated with Facebook, and will kindly pass on another Eternal September. Hope that doesn’t come off as aggressive, that’s just where I’m at.
thank for posting about it here; I had no idea. I know the creator of this instance has been fairly laissez faire about other servers so far but I hope we join the fedipact.
I’m on the opposite side, I joined this instance because it is so averse to blocking instances as a whole, letting the users do the blocking.
If meta joins the fediverse but it’s a mastodon instance instead of a service like kbin and lemmy, eith proper posts, upvotes/downvotes and the like, I wouldn’t really care if the community decides to block them, but if has a lemmy like component then that would be a deal breaker for me as I don’t want defederation being done by the admins of an instance. (Unless meta does something harmful to interconnectivity or is shown to have a power that they would not have just scraping information without having an instance, then and only then I could see an argument for defederation as an instance)
