Glad to hear it. Over the years, Meta has shown that they don’t deserve the benefit of the doubt. They’d have to prove themselves, which I suspect they are able (but 100% not willing) to do.

This is great, I don't think federating with Meta will benefit the admins' mission with this instance much at all.
I've seen a lot of sentiment shifting positively for Facebook (I refuse to call it meta) over the past few months and I find it kind of unnerving. Mostly outside of tech/journalism circles. Maybe it's just that standing next to Twitter, Facebook has looked a lot prettier lately or something but I don't understand how anyone can forget all the malicious evils Facebook has been and brought onto us. Could the name change have really bamboozled people into giving them a clean slate?
I'm all in on holding the line against them taking over the fediverse, glad to see the energy and I hope we keep it.
Look at what they are doing with Mark Zuckerberg. Their big PR campaign to show him as a mans man. Posting that he did the Murph challenge, talking about ju jit su, and accepting Elon's ridiculous challenge for a cage match.
There is this fairly obvious PR campaign to make him seem less like a emotionless robot.
More instances should consider this pact.
Good shit
let them create there's and lets see what happens. I do not like meta but i like their open source projects like react and lexical. if they do any unethical stuff we can just not use them.
if they do any unethical stuff we
If? When...
I truly do t understand why so many people in the fediverse are so willing to "give meta a chance". Why?! Why would would get closer to the limbs ripping machine just because they painted it a different color?
Every single Zuckerberg social media venture had "raze everyone else to the ground" as a step, but you think this one won't?? This time the leopard won't eat our faces?!
ayyye ty <3
The link to the pact nearly blinded me. Animated falling hearts and bright pink background. For a minute there I thought I travelled back in time to the 90's. Also I hasten to add that everyone blocking Meta seems like quite an unfederated thing to do. That said I hate Meta, block 'em.
That combined with the lack of capitalization is off-putting for some reason. It grates on me and I can't put my finger on why.
Hell yea, fuck meta.
Refusing to federate with Meta servers is practically a no-brainer anyways.
Nobody really wants brain-dead facebook users on the fediverse anyways.^1^

Glad to hear it!
