I'm gonna try to clear up a few things
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".

People have asked me to 'preblock' this project but I am not gonna.
Meta is not Gab so we give them a chance and can always block them later with 2 simple button clicks..
We would never ever sell out on you but rather invest time to make this all go smooth without everything come crashing down
I hope this clears up some mis-understandings
@stux "Meta is not gab" yeah it only allows Nazis to propagate easily without fear of removal or ban, and allows data harvesting companies to collect so much that it has to investigated by Congress.
Sure it's not ran by Nazis but it allows without question them free admission and publication.
Meta is not our friend.
@jamiestl
@queue Yep. I did a poll about this a while ago and over 90% of the responses saw Meta/FB similar to Gab (although admiittedly I phrased as a bit of a leading question). Several different people said to me "At first I thought you were exaggerating about Meta but geez they really did do all those things!" #DefederateMeta
A #FediblockMeta poll on #defederation Which (if either) of these two hypothetical instances would you want your instance to block? - G is a hub for right-wing coup planning; hosts accounts that spew hate and disinformation; and is run by white supremacists - M is a hub for right-wing coup planning; sells ads that amplify hate and disinformation; contributes to genocides; and has a long track record of privacy abuses, discrimination, and law-breaking @[email protected] [ ] Bock G (but not M) [ ] Block M (but not G) [ ] Block both [ ] Don't block either
@queue @stux #NSAbook is our enemy, because they not only WILL but ALREADY DO SNITCH ON USERS!
And not only in regards to #PRISM, but literally ratting out #LGBTQIA in #MENA nations and people seeking #Abortions in the #USA and #Poland...

I just wounder what the blocklist may look like since I do follow some instances that may be partially defederated by some, but not all...

@cadenza @queue @vantablack yeah.
To make it extra insulting, 
& 
only #geoblock said contents but don't take them offline - regardless if tuese are literally illegal in several juristictions AND are universally bad.
