while numerous humble fediverse admins are signing The Anti-Meta Pact it seems some untold number of high-profile ones have signed the opposite The Meta Vow of Silence  @vantablack Boosting this because I'm not an admin, but I do think this should get more traction  @categorille @vantablack thanks for tagging us and bringing it to our attention :blobcatpeek: :blobhaj_heart: This is extremely concerning ._.  @fabriek @vantablack yes yes ill sign... honestly i would still be surprised if they ever get here for real. this is a money hole unless it helps them communicate with another Big Platform that adopts the fediverse. they'll probably defederate us first for 9/11 jokes or something (wishful thinking) @CobaltVelvet I'm thinking you are onto something saying they would block us. I would assume that their strategy is to do allow listing with only the instance that have a huge amount of accounts and admins friendly to them. hence the talk of NDA with big instance admins omg that first gargron post i linked was deleted and even deleted off archive.org!!!!!!! it was there yesterday, i checked, but now it's GONE  i made triple-sure it was on the wayback machine i know whoever owns a domain has the power to delete stuff off there but goddamn you can't even access the most recent archive of gargron's profile PERIOD https://web.archive.org/web/20230614221132/mastodon.social/@gargron i can't believe it i found the wayback machine URL in my history it's the right one it was DEFINITELY there yesterday ...and now it's gone devious did anybody manage to get screenshots? @vantablack this is not a good omen. he is possibly clearing up the traces. we have to do something about this. @vantablack redooting in the hopes maybe someone did @vantablack looks like some of it got cached on my end. Wouldnβt be surprised if itβs sticked around somewhere on fedi <w< @vantablack @PsyChuan @mawr @rey @LexYeen hey I'm not like, stirring up panic or something, but this shit is crazy. please read the entire thread if you care about fedi.  @vantablack "wHAt is mEtA tHinKinG?" The same thing they're always thinking, Pinky. How to Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish the Fediverse. @vantablack muh growth, muh growth, muh GROWTH! These people are all the fucking same. @aspensmonster @vantablack They do sound like Liz Truss... and we all know how her "growth growth growth" ended up. @vantablack βitβs a good idea to sign a meta nda as the CEO Of Mastodonβ said nobody ever @vantablack sometimes on archive.org, I can't even archive a specific item (if you must know, it's literally a page on Vodafone UK's news centre, I promise it has meaning) Fediverse developers meeting with Meta though is very sus  @vantablack huh, it's still cached on my instance. luckily I screenshotted it.   @thegibson yeah as a fediverse stakeholder i'm totally up for treating Meta/FB as the vampires they are. I wonder why I wasn't invited to the meeting? And thank @Yuvalne, a very useful screenshot!  @jdp23 @thegibson @Yuvalne @vantablack im literally the king of the world? why was i not invited as well?  @TheGibson @Yuvalne @vantablack All the best toots can also double as an ipecac. :(  @Yuvalne @vantablack stakeholders, a.k.a. people with power who use that power to mold the things they hold power to fit their own agenda.
    @Yuvalne @vantablack He's appointed himself the representative of all the users of the Fediverse. That by itself proves him untrustworthy. @edendestroyer @Yuvalne @vantablack Absolutely. I think we need to salt the earth. Block whatever Meta launches, defederate mastodon.social, and whoever else collaborates with Meta. @foolishowl @Yuvalne @vantablack 100000% .social is a poison to the #fedi @vantablack WHAT okay the fact that're deleting it off of archive.org is INCREDIBLY sus  @vantablack Probably because he signed the NDA and realized it covered that post too.   @vantablack y i k e s we've come a long way from fixing the emojos glad i'm defederated from that mess at least  @vantablack I read the thread. I'm extremely NOT enthusiastic about this. Fedi-growth can happen just fine without the shadow of a big corporation looming over it. Just the rumblings of this is having a gigantic effect here. It turns my stomach. @vantablack any instance that gobbles up users rather than closing off and routing elsewhere should be treated as suspect. @vantablack |
