If Facebook and Instagram were to join the Fediverse and you could follow users from that world from your instance, would you do it?Boosts appreciated. I'd like to know the current consensus of the Fediverse.#Meta #Facebook #Instagram #SocialMedia #Fediverse

@rolle I won’t be blocking them. This is a land grab opportunity for us and i have to chuckle we’re doing all the hard work of making ourselves irrelevant for them. Just like if/when tumblr joins - i’ll welcome TumblrIf Meta has ads in app and we don’t - land grab for new users.If meta has trackers in their app and we don’t - land grab for users. If meta can pay for people to try out fediverse - land grab for new users.

@supernovae it’s not just trackers in their app. Any posts and images in their federated timeline, and any unlisted or followers-only posts and images from anybody followed by somebody on their instance, will also be tracked by them — snd used to target ads, put in their facial recognition databases, and train their AI models, etc. Surveillance capitalism FTW! @rolle

@jdp23 @rolle if avoiding this was the goal of activitypub it should have been a non public protocol to begin with - everything should have been behind authentication and some kind of permission system. i see people doing all they can to mitigate the fears here - from FEPs about licensing content. I don’t really want any part of closing the open web.I just want a chance on the playing field.If we can’t win over hearts and minds and show we’re better while still preaching open protocols I’m kind of over it all. so much tooling and functionality we could implement to win over people and we’re just talking about closing doors. i think we need to win this by being a lot more creative than locking up.

@rolle I am part of the generation that knew Jabber, that was happy to see Google embrace the Jabber/XMPP protocol: anyone with a gmail address had an XMPP instant messaging account interoperable with all other servers.And one day gmail closed to other servers. Most users, already on Google, then asked others to create a gmail account to continue communicating.I don't want to go through that again. "Embrace, extend, and extinguish", again.

@rolle Always the same tactic. Facebook will fetch more content for its users from Fediverse and that for free.However fediverse users will not be able to get content from Facebook.

@rolle Meta is cancer. It will destroy the fediverse and it's worrying to see how many here don't realize that. Fediblock with extreme prejudice

@feld @rolle I personally think they don't have any valuable content (compared to fedi), and I'm kinda afraid that the fediverse would end up like email - maybe not truly walled-garden, but extremely centralized, as almost everyone uses gmail now...

You don't have any celebrities, authors, actors, entertainers, etc that you enjoy following?

@Hyolobrika @rolle i planned to include that but just not enough choices. This 4 vote limit is obnoxious.

@rolle I feel strongly that people using my server are competent enough to decide for themselves if they want to block Meta or not. Everyone can block servers. I won't force my personal agenda on other people.Blocking is serious. I block servers created for the purpose of hurting people and doing harm. I block to protect, not to punish.Depending on what the messages end up looking like, I may just limit (silence) Facebook and Instagram, but I see no reason at this time to expect to block them. IMHO

@adminMeta colluded w/Peter Thiel & Cambridge Analytica to misinform voters & tamper w/US elections to get #Trump into power. Blocking that harmful force *is* a protection, not a punishment.Note as well that the #GDPR is not well enforced. We cannot rely on the GDPR for data protection. Preventing data abusers from getting more data to use for harm is a necessary protection.@rolle
