Meta is not gonna buy Mastodon or any server, this is based on absolutely nothing and untrue.
Yes, some of us indeed got contacted by Meta/Insta because they are working on a new social platform (this was in the news) and they are looking into joining the Fediverse (Mark Zuckerberg also told this in the recent podcast)
SO.
This contact was about a "heads-up" for a potential big platform to join the network and not for a "take over".
Admin announcement:
As of today, this instance blocks known domains associated with Meta's #project92, in accordance with the anti-Meta Fedi Pact (https://fedipact.online/)
In effect, this instance does not federate with the domains threads.net or threads.instagram.com. Further associated domains will be blocked, if discovered.
We are not personally against the users of Project 92, we are against Meta. We will not be giving them a chance. Their work is a threat to the Fediverse, as it has been a threat to other social spaces and open communities for years prior. They are not welcome in our homes.
Jetzt könnte man sagen, ist doch fein, wenn die Erzieherin aus der Kita (die mit Nagellack) und meine Oma zum mir ins #fediverse kommen. Und die Freunde meiner Tante, die die Golf spielen und dieses Monster von Audi fahren, auch.
Aber eigentlich wollte ich so #Biedermeier -mäßig einfach meine Ruhe vor denen haben.
Und mich irgendwo aufhalten, wo Leute NICHT diskutieren wollen, ob Ausländer-raus oder Klimawandelskepsis oder son shit nicht doch "in unsere Lebenwelt passt".
Does anyone have a list of admins reactions to the #meta talks by any chance?
Particularly interested in those who've already announced they're going to block the Meta instance from the go
Divinity save us from people who think waiting for evidence of Leopards eating OUR faces is a fair and balanced way of dealing with face-eating Leopards. 😒🐆**
It seems that @Gargron signed Meta's NDA for #Project92. If this is true, then if I were an instance moderator I would defederate mastodon.social and switch to some fork of #Mastodon if I didn't already use one. No quarter should be given to #Meta and other such entities. Let's not repeat the mistakes of #XMPP, the #Fediverse must not be embraced-extended-extinguished as well. I'm watching for the reaction of my current instance's admins to #FediPact and #FediBlockMeta.
Fuck meta. 🖕🖕 Don’t bring them to fedi, they’ll stink up the place with their evil, greedy, propaganda machine bullshit. Fuck that racist, transphobic, political-brainwashing, bastard mega-corp.
I hope he'll think about it and realize that not taking a stance against #NSAbook is inherently bad and his position - alongside the non-signature of the #FediPact ( https://fedipact.online ) - will rather be offputting and make people consider not just leaving his instances, but cancelling any services they have at :stuxhost: ( https://stuxhost.com/ )as of now...
I have mixed feelings about Meta joining the Fediverse but we should all be prepared to wage a reddit style campaign against them should they get out of line.
jan lawa pi kulupu ni li toki e ni:
kulupu Meta li ike.
ona li lanpan e sona jan pi pana ala.
ona li pali ike tawa jan mute.
ale ni la, kulupu Meta li wile kama tawa kulupu Petewesi la, mi toki e ni:
mi weka e ilo Project92 e ilo ale pi kulupu Meta. kulupu toki.social li toki ala tawa ona.
toki pona li lon lawa :toki_pona_flag: ⏫ toki pona above
Announcement from the admins:
Meta is evil. It spies on people, even those who didn't consent. It does a lot of bad in this world.
Now Meta wants to join the Fediverse.
Therefore, we announce that we will utterly block Project92 and any other Meta instance. They will not be able to federate with toki.social.
