although this is unlikely to substantially and directly impact us and is a more immediate concern for Mastodon and similar fediverse software, we’ve signed the Anti-Meta Fedi Pact as a matter of principle. that pact pledges the following:

i am an instance admin/mod on the fediverse. by signing this pact, i hereby agree to block any instances owned by meta should they pop up on the fediverse. project92 is a real and serious threat to the health and longevity of fedi and must be fought back against at every possible opportunity

the maintainer of the site is currently a little busy and seems to manually add signatures so we may not appear on there for several days but here’s a quick receipt that we did indeed sign it.

Frankly, I am leery (due to the 3 Es and will probably be blocking them on Mastodon as I do not think my server will. That being said, I am curious to see what happens and will not do it until I peer into the void… I plan on camping out on Mander either way. :)

    Yes, I’ve been on the Fediverse for a little over 8 months and I am not pleased now that I have found a niche. Fortunately wrangling the fediverse is like herding cats or catching water with a strainer, so I have some faith. For perspective, about half of the internet runs on WordPress, which is integrated with ActivityPub. If these apps fall, I do not doubt there will be others to take their place.
