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.

    Thanks for the transparency. I personally think this is the right move. Meta shouldn’t be trusted, based on their previous performance. If they do something to change that then we’ll see, but I’m not expecting them to change their stripes.

    Been catching up on all the NDA drama on Mastodon, it’s really caused a rift between some users and instance admins. Felt a bit like an ‘aww it’s all grown up’ moment to see Mastodon having a scandal.
