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.

    I hereby agree to block any instances owned by meta should they pop up on the fediverse.

    I suggest to rephrase with this better: “I hereby agree to block any instances owned by, governed by, supported by mostly, funded by only or affiliated with Meta, its subsidiaries, major involving partners and influenced involving affiliates should they pop up on the Fediverse.”

    LEGAL DISCLAIMER: I do not provide my suggestion “as a legal advice” but as a thought to share that may be considered or configured by legal experts. I will not be held liable for any error that any revision upon or any derivative from my suggestion may cause.

      This pact isn’t legally binding, but more of a moral “I stand against Meta” thing

      @xptiger @alyaza I don’t know what it is about Legal disclaimers… they seem kinda scary. Just reading “LEGAL DISCLAIMER” is enough for me to gulp and loosen the tie.

      They sound very… Legal… and… and Disclaimery.
