Everyone who cares about their instance and the fediverse as a whole needs to defederate and block their instances as soon as they pop up.

Yeah Meta are a scourge. If I had a friend who worked for them Iā€™d look down on them the same if they worked for Big Tobacco or lobbying for the fossil fuel industry.

tbh, I doubt they would federate with anyone they don't have at least some control over. Like a contract or terms agreement or something.

Yeah I really don't want Meta to federate with us. They have enough users to completely drown the mostly positive, thoughtful, and inclusive community we've built so far with the toxic algorithm brain rotted right wing zombie army that makes up most of their user base. I have such a happy little community on my instance and my little sublemmy rn and I dont want it to be swamped šŸ˜­

My question is : how do we keep our block list up to date to stop every new data crawler from Meta ? And also, they could gather what is posted on public...

They can already gather what's posted publicly šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

Someone had to be the first that I de-federate with and I'm glad it was facebook.
