    Your wording shows that you‘re fully convinced that meta is some kind of deity. Instead, they’re a cancer that spreads through the internet and the real world by now. We‘re not ignoring them, we‘re effectively boycotting them.

    For a short best of of meta‘s misdeeds, visit the fedipact.

      Nope, just a company. I know that it has done some bad things. I just don’t think your strategy is effective.

      How can you effectively boycott something without social media? The Fediverse has ca. 2 million active users, Meta services have much more. If boycotting something means cutting yourself off from most of social media, nobody will notice and it won’t hurt Meta a bit. Its the #deletefacebook all over again.

        You can think that my strategy isnt effective. I just couldnt care less to be frank.

        I‘m not cutting myself off from most of social media more than when I left facebook, twitter and then reddit.

        You got it backwards mate. They are following us because we‘re gaining traction. We‘re just going to stay ahead.

          Agreed.

          It’s fine. I guess we want to achieve the same thing but with different strategies. Let’s see what the future will bring.

            Sounds reasonable. Thanks for agreeing (to disagree I guess?)

            I‘m glad we dont have to go around in circles like other discussions sometimes do.

            Have a good one.
