Meta's activitypub Twitter/Mastodon clone will be going live under the name threads.net on July 6th (less than 24 hours from the time of this post).

Are there any plans for lemmy.one to join the FediPact in blocking all of Meta's bullshit? Considering this instance is built on the concept of privacy guides, with everything Zuck touches becoming completely antithetical to the word "privacy", I would feel it fitting for us to join the block. Meta can, and probably will, farm every federated instance out there for both user data and to populate their own monetized platform with content. They need to be contained.

This post also applies to anyone federated to this instance who sees this post. Contact your admins. Get Meta on the blocklist.

I support this as a matter of policy.

Implementation wise, opt-in, version-controlled blacklists of certain instances could be maintained somewhere as a community project to ease instance configuration difficulties. We could make lists for a lot of stuff - simple NSFW (I’m sure there are instances that just want to avoid that altogether), weird alt-right/“free-speech” instances like @exploding-heads.com, Big Tech instances, etc.

I realize this kinda exacerbating the already prominent tendency of fragmentation in the fediverse… but at the same time, there is definitely a use-case here that should be at least explored and considered.
