Second largest Lemmy instance preemptively un-friends Facebook

While I support this move, I do want to point out that federated social media sites are inherently open.

We criticized Twitter for removing content access for search engines and other scraping tools. At the same time, some have called the Fediverse a privacy nightmare. We can’t have our cake and eat it too. Sites like Lemmy are by design open to participation from anyone, including questionable companies. People who don’t like that are probably better off on closed-off social media.

I’m confused then why you support the move
Symbolic gesture mostly. It’s not gonna prevent them from scraping ActivityPub data if they wanted to, but screw Meta.
