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.

Hell yea, fuck meta.
More instances should consider this pact.
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.
Refusing to federate with Meta servers is practically a no-brainer anyways.
Nobody really wants brain-dead facebook users on the fediverse anyways.^1^

Good on them. Always imagine it was Reddit pulling this move.
Glad to hear it!
Good shit

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.
This is great, I don't think federating with Meta will benefit the admins' mission with this instance much at all.
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.
