I saw a while back that facebook is opening a twitter competitor which will use the ActivityPub protocol, and thus will be able to federate with other fediverse instances, I also saw they invited some fediverse instance admins for an “off the records” meeting in their HQ.

Question is, what is the general stance on this? Because I despise facebook with every fiber of my being, and would very much like to NOT have facebook lurk around these parts, as I understand there is an option to de-federate them like what happened with the exploading heads instance.

    Same thing happened with google and xmpp as another user linked to, this is why i dont want facebook involvment, we cannot allow them to interact with lemmy or mastodon, their scummy tactics will force instaces to interact with them, and then meta will try to shut them down
