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.

I saw a fairly long post that summarizes my personal thoughts on this subject pretty clearly:
https://calckey.social/notes/9g6q2a37hu9kt84t
the short bit:
> What's important to acknowledge here is that it's not we, the Fediverse, who have conceded. It's Meta.
> It's Meta who have given up ownership of their own corporate-owned network effect in order to join the Fediverse.
@crashdoom @brodokk There's a few other folks that have said things to the effect of "I don't want my data elsewhere." Short form is, that's impossible under ActivityPub (it's a copy-on-read architecture)
If you don't think Meta is scraping the output of every federated feed already, you're sorely mistaken.
The fact of the matter is that Meta's content is going to get into the rest of the fedi and they're going to get our content. The only ones that won't isolated themselves away from fedi.
