Sounds like Meta wants to force you to give them your phone number.

Yayy, fuck up your instance and use it for a damn Meta proxy.

I hope if they try that the instances simply defederate. And I like Federation and want more people on here, and I miss the variety of non tech content. But still, no thanks

People actively choosing a new network by Meta are just too stupid to be worth breaking our ecosystem, period.

this is wildly elitist holy shit

Why? There is a long history of legal battles, academic studies, reports, news articles, and everything else detailing how Facebook, Instagram, and Meta are simply rotten all the way through. It's a concerted effort by them going back years. Anyone signing up for a new service by them either isn't paying attention, or is ok with self harm.

Lots of that going around for stuff like this.

I know it sounds like that. But you may keep contacts, but this only makes sense if they also use the same new app. There is so little reason to use it
