although this is unlikely to substantially and directly impact us and is a more immediate concern for Mastodon and similar fediverse software, we've signed the Anti-Meta Fedi Pact as a matter of principle. that pact pledges the following:

i am an instance admin/mod on the fediverse. by signing this pact, i hereby agree to block any instances owned by meta should they pop up on the fediverse. project92 is a real and serious threat to the health and longevity of fedi and must be fought back against at every possible opportunity

the maintainer of the site is currently a little busy and seems to manually add signatures so we may not appear on there for several days but here's a quick receipt that we did indeed sign it.

Nice, I got the vibes you'd do that without having to announce it but I'm glad to hear the commitment. Makes it easier to feel better about building connections here knowing they won't be thrown apart when Meta comes to town.

War is coming. Thank you for taking a strong stance now rather than later.

I salute you!

Good choice, who wants to deal with a hundred thousand instagram users sitting in between every fediverse user.

I don’t know if I have a settled opinion for or against defederating from Meta instances, but I know enough to say I absolutely respect the decision to.

I may appreciate more exposure to federating social media, but I also appreciate that Meta has a problematic track record. Besides, my shifting away from Reddit has me realizing that juggling accounts is not as difficult as I thought. If I end up having a reason to get on a Meta instance, it wouldn’t be an issue to make a compatible handle that can communicate there.

You guys rock!

Meta was one of the killers of democracy. No one should ever affiliate with it.

Really pleased to hear this. I will be staying on Beehaw for the foreseeable future, I'm on the same page as the admins.

[–] Domiku@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

Thanks! I totally support this move

[–] SiioSytry@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

thank you for doing this

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.

More instances should consider this pact.

[–] Max_UL@lemmy.pro 3 points 2 years ago

Great, fuck Meta, fuck Zuck.

What about twitters project?

[–] Lionir@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Twitter's project? You mean Jack Dorsey's BlueSky? It doesn't do ActivityPub - it's not part of the fediverse

[–] EthicalAI@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago (7 children)

It is federated, but I forgot it wasn’t activitypub.
