Will this instance be joining the fedipact? (vlemmy.net)

I've been hearing that Meta (Facebook) intends to join the fediverse. I have some very big concerns about that, as do apparently many others. There exists a group of instances called the fedipact which will not be federating with Meta, and I was wondering if this instance would be joining. So there is no ambiguity with this post: I have no desire to participate in any instance that is federated with Facebook, and will kindly pass on another Eternal September. Hope that doesn't come off as aggressive, that's just where I'm at.

Facebook is notorious for getting hacked -- yet another reason for not federating with Meta.

I think facebook is more secure than a random lemmy instance.

But facebook + lemmy is still worse, no?

If facebook can't collect more data then they could get by web scraping (which they do), then I see no reason why we wouldn't want more people here.
