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.

I'm a bit late but: strongly against pre-emptive blocking

defederation should be a poweful & last-resort moderation tool (since it's taking agency away from users). obviously it is justified in some cases (gab, truthsocial etc), but we're nowhere near the point at which blocking meta seems justifiable.

the data-harvesting justification just seems confused (meta care about building profiles of people they can show adverts to, they dgaf about people on other fedi instances)

Not late! We're still reviewing new comments as they come in to determine if the sentiment remains the same or changes within our community. I did go into more detail on our rationale for stating we'll defederate from them at https://pawb.social/post/111692, but it boils down to the rampant abuse Facebook permits on their existing platforms that would inevitably boil over for our team to deal with.

Also, from recent news, it seems that Facebook won't even allow outbound federation initially anyway, so we're really unsure if we'll even need to end up blocking them in the first place.
