Apparently there was a secret meeting between admins of big Fedi instances and Meta, closed under an NDA, and of course they’re not saying anything.

Somebody already made a pact to publicly commit admins to block Meta

Now we see why concentrating users on big instances is a liability

Update: Supernaut directly stated that he hasn’t been contacted or attended a meeting, and went further to set up a page to visualize instances entering the Anti-Meta Fedipact

    Knee jerk reaction oh hell no.

    When I calm my emotions and think about it, they’re talking to the founders of the software of the Fediverse. They aren’t talking to the maintainers of ActivityPub. In either case the software can be forked and people can move.

    However, NDAs are complete bullshit. You gain nothing, so even the benefit of the doubt can be used against you. They’re completely against what the Fediverse is about. And now we can legally NEVER know what was discussed else a few devs doing this for fun and are single devs can be sued into oblivion by one of the most powerful and toxic companies on the planet.

    I already am not on Mastodon and I don’t really use PixelFed, but this is classic FB and already sets the precedent of how they want to act within the open set of communities. Anything they touch should instantly be defederated imo.

    They have shown time and time again their true colors and they come to us, not with open arms, but behind lawyers and courts. Fuck you Facebook and the toxic money driven bullshit you bring with you.

    And anyone that works at Facebook, you’re in the same boat. There’s no turning that ship, you will never chnge it from the inside or out, you will NEVER be able to do the right thing, you do it for money. You are an accomplice, you will NEVER be the moral compass that makes it right, because it’s built on lies for MONEY and nothing else.

    Facebook is a detriment to mankind.
