So why you don't use Meta??
It's not about the people, but it's insane to let Meta scrape data about Mastodon users.

@Keev @stux I'm still on Facebook. Unfortunately I need it to keep in touch with certain friends and family who sadly can't be bothered to go anywhere else. It sucks, but that's reality.

Ok fair enough. But this is not a reason to let Meta in Fediverse and start doing its business here.
We don't want to be monetizes, censored, and exploited here.

@Keev @stux I agree with that, and as @stux pointed out, instance admins have the tools at their disposal to defederate/block/silence as needed.

@emmah genuinely confused on your logic here. Mets could turn out to be worse then we think and all you would need is your insurance admin to block them to protect your instance you don’t need other instances admin to block them to protect your data.

And they can learn other ways to contact people. I'm not supporting eugenicists and fascists to do it.

@Keev @stux If we're being honest, they already have all our data, and many many other companies besides just Meta. User information has been trading hands among companies for quite a while now. The time to prevent it/shut it down was a while ago. So this feels a bit like trying to plug a dam after the town's already been flooded. I think people need to take a deep breath and calm down. Everyone thought Post was going to pose a threat to Mastodon, and I don't hear anything about Post anymore

It's not true
It's not just about data (in general), but about their freshness, correctness, account info, friend list, datapoint....

There is a reason they they want to connect, and the reason is not your wellbeing, your user experience, your safety....

I suppose you know what is the reason.
