The anti-Meta #Fedipact can only achieve one thing: make sure that #ActivityPub loses to the Bluesky protocol. Is that what people here want?

As an #openweb advocate, I don't.

Meta joining the Fediverse is like AOL joining the internet: something that will bring a mass amount of people in, create some friction, but ultimately make the net better as more people federating on #Mastodon, #kbin, #lemmy, #pixelfed and other parts of the Fediverse make open protocols that much stronger.

@TNLNYC I don't think most people here do, at least post-November. But I think a very loud minority genuinely do, because:

@hughster @TNLNYC
It's the genocide, murder and torture that Facebook / Meta is associated with that has me rejecting federating with Facebook / Meta.

I get that some people are ok with this stuff but I think "If not here then how much worse before Facebook / Meta is shunned?"

@skua @TNLNYC And that's an assessment and a choice that you're free to make! But others will take a different assessment and a different view. That's all.
@skua One could say that's the beauty of a federated network based on autonomy rather than conformity.
