(answered) what is the fedipact?

I saw this site that tells you if instances have blocked threads.net yet and noticed some instances listed as fedipact with a heart instead of blocked/federated/ limited (also what does limited mean)

Nevermind I found out https://fedipact.online/

Not relevant to the question, but the overuse of hearts makes it seem like they play more on feelings than on logic. Kinda feels like a cult.

I think it's supposed to have an early internet feel, and it does, but it's meh.

I think the heart just represents a stance of shared sympathy against Meta.

I don't get it, is this exclusively anti-meta?

More or less, "keep ya big tech out of our pond" and all that

Limited essentially means the instance is put in quarantine. AFAIK it won't appear on the federated timelines but users can still follow and communicate to them if they desire.
