I’m getting really tired of trying to run away from big tech, only to be ensnared again by the greed and/or naivety of sites who ultimately cave to the whims of big tech.
Mastodon has already caved, and the silence of lemmy’s and kbin’s developers over this matter isn’t exactly reassuring. Since I more or less still have my bags packed from leaving reddit, what are some other communities I could try that would be more resilient to corporate encroachment?
This is way too dramatic. Mastodon hasn’t caved. The mastodon.social instance might federate with META, but it is not said it will. The kbin developer is a tad busy with keeping kbin.social instance running and fixing kbin software. So the silence doesn’t mean anything.
Host your own instance and do whatever you want. That way you can be sure what will happen.
Yeah, there’s a list of instances that have agreed to defederate any Meta instance. Even if mastodon.social federates with them, there’s still plenty of places to jump ship to.
Could you please link this list? Asking for a friend.
I don’t know of a list, personally, but if you search the hashtag #FediPact you might find some instance admins that have pledged to defederate.
@ADHDefy @zhaosima Someone made this one, not sure how it’s maintained. https://fedipact.veganism.social/
