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.
@crashdoom This will be an unpopular opinion, but I don’t think a defederation / block is warranted - yet. I’m of “a certain age” when I was on the internet when AOL joined in and thus started the slur of AOLers who were considered subhuman. Completely unwarranted, and sure some were noobs, but weren’t we all?
Not everyone has access to the same level of technology, and for them, using a service like FB is the simple way to interact.
Let them join, participate, and let’s see what happens.
@crashdoom On further reflection and reading, block their asses.
