This is a bit political but i feel this should be looked at. Whatever it's on on the Lemmy instance or the Mastodon instances.

My main concern is about the concept of Embrase Extend Extinguish they could use.

EDIT: I've gone ahead and posted this as an announcement on furry.engineer and pawb.fun. I'd strongly encourage our community, both here and on Mastodon please provide me with your opinions and thoughts.

Given it seems like it's predominantly blocking Meta's new "Project 92" initiative[1] which is an ActivityPub-based Twitter clone that could theoretically integrate with other services like Lemmy and Mastodon.

I'm personally against preemptively blocking them, despite my hatred for Facebook / Meta / whatever Mark Zuckerberg decides to call the company today. I may consider a silence action to avoid any excessive flooding / spamming of the federated timeline, especially if their rules don't align with ours on key topics, such as advertising and misinformation.

Project 92 wouldn't fit in with the Networked Communities philosophy that I use Fedi for. Normally that would just call for a silence, but given Meta's extremely poor stewardship of people's data in the past, especially those who didn't opt into the data collection in the first place, I think a preemptive full-defederation is warranted rather than a silence. It seems like a Rule 6 matter, too.

I'm not asking for Meta to be chased out of the fediverse or for there to be a widespread fediblock. In fact, I think Project 92 could fit in just fine with masto.soc and all the other general-purpose instances, provided that they're better data stewards moving forward than before. That's just not why I'm here, and I don't want them to feel entitled to my data, even if there's no technical way to stop them from getting access to it.
