The #AntiMetaFediPact in a nutshell:
- Fediverse users: We want to reinvent social networks
- Meta: OK, let’s try it
- Fediverse users: STAY AWAY FROM US
This pact is another instance of the performative activism that is currently hindering Mastodon and the Fediverse to have any shot at replacing legacy social media
This is the same performative activism that fuels the Fedipolice, and lead some "progressive" people to tell Black folks, LGBTQ folks and disabled folks to "go back to Twitter"
"Mastodon is welcoming minority folks, providing they use Mastodon in the exact same way as me"
This is an extremely abusive stance, and it rightfully push interested people away from Mastodon
"But the goal isn’t mass adoption"
So what’s the goal, exactly? To create a walled garden where the entry barrier is ideological purity? Because this is exactly where the Fediverse is heading to.
