Yes, I agree, I am here becuase it is NOT facebook, what also worries me is all the baggage that comes with meta, celebrities etc, We have people on here who are not celebs as such, they hare proper jobs in high end research, I seem to be following a lot of people with PhDs etc, actual scientists who are dedicated to their work. People here post intelligent and intellectual content, but also respond rationally to posts and correct people in a way that is helpful.
@zleap @smallpatatas @Gargron @tonyg @alexeheath I don't know that these concerns will turn out to be realized.
That's the point of federation: each server can set up its own rules.
Plenty of people use different email services and clients, and none of their choices affect your experience of email. This shouldn't be all that different from that situation.

Facebook has platformed multiple genocides & continues to foster private terror groups
of course meta/facebook/zuckerberg will use any new platform to continue to commit & allow harm
That's what they do

A good reason to defederate, it will make an interesting conversation when someone joins the Meta fedi instance, tries to connect with people, on mastodon and are unable to, and the response from mastodon (and other fedi services) is that Meta services are blocked as Meta it is a cesspit of hate speech etc.
