Everyone should block their leeching arses

Because they’ll simply be here to mine data, monitor and somehow monitise it.
Here is a list of the Fediverse instances that have agreed to block any meta owned/run instances that may arise
I’m out of the loop, what are meta instances?
Meta aka Facebook plans to create a new product compatible with ActivityPub (What allows the feddiverse to federate).
No one wants to allow cancer to spread so this list came to exist.
Meta met privately with stux (runs mstdn.social) and supposedly discussed starting a new federated platform. People are planning to defederate because this gives Meta free reign to inject ads through federation, and are angry that admins/mods are meeting privately with a for profit corporation make decisions within what is an open source community with open source software
Meta Platforms Inc, aka Facebook.
FediDB will be shutting down in July (2023) according to its creator. The list of username’s that pledged can be found on fedipact.online
I believe a lot more instances will block Meta once more details come out (I know the instance I’m on is talking).
Will beehaw be joining them? I couldn’t see it on the list.
lemmy.ml isn’t on there either. 😬

More is not better. Also if you think Facebook, Meta or the zuck are good people, you haven’t been paying attention.

Its not like you have to use their instances. What harm will it cause, if anything it’d benefit us.
It won’t benefit us. Big Tech’s goal ultimately is Embrace Extend Extinguish with…everything. That last E, “extinguish”, can be substituted with “own” or “dominate”.
Look at React. They created it. Now, look at VS Code. Made by Microsoft. VSC has telemetry built in.
These are now ubiquitous tools. They’re so ubiquitous that knowing React is practically necessary if you want to do frontend. You may as well use VS Code while you’re at it.
The implications of allowing them to have any influence or participation are huge.
Now tons of businesses rely on Meta’s framework just to survive. They also dictate the terms - how it can be used, whether or not royalties are necessary, license compatibility, who you are allowed to compete against - the sky is the limit.
It all boils down to status quo.
