Will this instance be joining the fedipact? (vlemmy.net)

I've been hearing that Meta (Facebook) intends to join the fediverse. I have some very big concerns about that, as do apparently many others. There exists a group of instances called the fedipact which will not be federating with Meta, and I was wondering if this instance would be joining. So there is no ambiguity with this post: I have no desire to participate in any instance that is federated with Facebook, and will kindly pass on another Eternal September. Hope that doesn't come off as aggressive, that's just where I'm at.

Eh, like in the previous hread about defederating from Burggit I'm against defederating in general. Heck I picked this instance in particular because it wasn't blocking anyone and wasn't blocked by anyone, so it gave me the most flexibility in what I could see.

I'd change my position if and when Meta makes any proprietary changes to the protocol or seemingly intentional "misimplementations" of it that impact interoperability.

Came to add exactly this! I looked at a table of instances and only considered ones that had few blocks when I was signing up. I'm not sure if I should be so quick to turn around on that principle unless there's a concrete reason too.
