🖤 ANTI-META FEDI PACT 🖤
fedipact.online

So, recently some fediverse admins (mostly Mastodon) and the founder of Mastodon, Eugen Rochko (Gargron), where contacted by Meta/Facebook for an NDA meeting. We know nothing about it, but we’re pretty sure that it was about this project92 thing that Meta/Facebook is creating to “compete” with Twitter.

So a lot of Mastodon admins already singed a pact to immediately block any Meta/Facebook activity in the fediverse as soon as it comes up. My Mastodon instance, fosstodon.org hasn’t singed that pact and I’m pretty worried.

The following image is an screenshot of Gargron and dansup (creator of Pixelfed) talking about this. These posts were deleted, even from the wayback machine.

    As long as it doesn’t affect established platforms and services like pixelfed I don’t really care what Meta does.

            They probably are by Google at least to index them for search and whatever else they are doing. Same by Microsoft for Bing. Who knows who else is doing what.

                Well, you can’t really have it both ways. There’s tons of content on Facebook that isn’t indexed by anyone and good luck using search on that site.

                You can either have the walled private garden, or you can have an open forum.

        I do, but the same could be applied to every bad actor on the fediverse, all your info of your profile is free for everyone to sell
