Quick update: I'm presenting again during the next #FOSSUnited meetup!
If you're in #Bangalore on 1st March 2026 and church street is accessible to you, I highly suggest checking it out for this and @lunarequest's talk to build local awareness on #Fediverse and #fedipact :D
Same #Xonotic India, also doubling as a progress update since last time.
Here's the problem: I haven't made progress yet. But I definitely have some ideas! :ablobcatnomcookie:

@gravitas So let me get this straight!
Their #meta Network: Max Security prison, no one can see what's happening inside unless they have an account, no one can exit because users there are hostages
Our network: open to anyone including them, you're free to join (well, kinda), and you're free to leave..
They close down everything, their users data and content are theirs, we open everything, they also jump here to empower their platform by our content (and data)..
#Fedipact feels to me like: "Nah they used everyone but not this time"
> I just donβt see that much of a harmful impact in harvesting data that is already public
Read about #shadowdragon It'll change your mind

Imagine I posted so many WhatsApp statuses, but not even 1 USD from Meta could pay me.
Every piece of my content is mined, and they said Facebook and WhatsApp are not boring, while those social media users, I am one of them.
This is unfair. I'm sad.

CW: FediMeta
Funny: #InstagramThreads claims it blocks social.librem.one, kirishima.cloud, retro.social and others on account of "privacy policy" (whose?).
Probably just because no privacy policy can be found.
The retro.social "privacy policy" (ToS really) currently looks like this. It's funny to imagine which of these sentences helps in getting blocked by #Facebook Inc., though probably the block preceded them.
(I beg you not to brandish the CFAA as if it were a good thing.)

#fedipact who? lol
I'd rather not really care about this signature thing which essentially is #virtuesignalling. Personally I don't really mind if I'm in an instance that blocks #Threads or not. Allow, suspend, limit, go do your thing and leave others alone. If I really need to anyway I can always go to another instance that allows federation.
What I'm not comfortable with all this hype is what's basically "adminjerking", where #fediadmins unironically circlejerking each other over how it's so cool to decide for hundreds or thousands of users on who they can interact with. Glorification of "admin authority" so to speak.
I'd rather not have any part of it. β:seija_coffee:β

So too, gender-based harassment has not only endured in the fediverse, it has been perpetuated by some of its most privileged participants, as observed in a recent controversy involving a stream of abuse perpetuated by a very visible megaserver admin. Who moderates the moderators?
Building a Free Fediverse comprises an opportunity to chart a course away from the predominating influence of amoral techbros who have no capacity for understanding these problems, and see the fedi primarily as an opportunity for financial investment. This piece reframes the "gatekeeping" smear aimed at FediPact advocates through a lens of envisioning the online community as a ZAD - a Zone To Defend.

CW: Long post - On the FediPact and "gatekeeping"
Those who advocate for the surrender of the fediverse to the Zuckerberg surveillance entity have been busy mischaracterizing adherents of the FediPact alliance in various ways. More needs to be said about this, but for the moment, let's unpack one of their more persistent slurs, the claim that we are "gatekeeping".
The term itself is one they have inherited from Silicon Valley crypto-fascist propertarians who, themselves, have seized power by overseeing the construction of a number of rigidly gatekept "walled gardens"; and the corporation they are so eager to collaborate with and invite in to colonize the fediverse is one of the most draconian of those gatekeepers.
But why accept this metaphorical territory on which to battle? Beyond the "walled gardens" and "marketplace of ideas" of neoliberalism, anarchist thought provides an alternative lens for viewing the predicament - the ZAD.
Within the Zone To Defend - the acronym derives from the French equivalent - there is safety, autonomy, solidarity, and yes, real freedom - freedom to express *and* freedom *from* the poisoned expressions of those who seek to weaponize speech to declare others inferior, excluded, and unworthy of existence.
However, as often when ideal meets reality, a contradiction is encountered. The presence of a "zone" infers the dialectical presence of space which is not the zone. Ultimately, our autonomous zone is one we would like to see grow to be boundless, which would be the fulfillment of its natural condition.
But provisionally at least, our zone is situated in the world as it currently is; a world in which we are surrounded by enemies on all sides. We do not ourselves choose the boundaries, but we acknowledge them, as we must. Unhappily, the Zone To Defend is bounded, and at the boundaries, we make our stand.
The defense of the zone is necessary, not just to guard the terrain, but more importantly, to defend the souls who have taken refuge and find community within it. This is a conviction the Meta collaborators don't appear to be able to grasp. They hunker down in the topography of protocols and MAU analytics, unable to catch sight of the actual people nestled in its hills and valleys.
In fact, the boundaries of the ZAD are not calculated, but rather emerge spontaneously from the defensive needs of those within. Their struggles, traumas, defeats and victories form the positions, shapes and composition of the barricades. Those who point this out are sneered at; as in, for example, the recent blog post of a prominent mega-instance admin and pro-Meta activist, who rolled his eyes at the "almost religious overtones" of our argument. Speak of people rather than protocols, and one will be waved off as a woo-dazed fanatic.
The communards of the Zone To Defend don't want to live in a bounded world, but they have to. And certainly, there is no interest in swinging open the gate now, as they observe the approach of perhaps the most dangerous of enemies - a totalitarian empire which has claimed its power by enabling and profiting from exactly those elements and forces which the ZAD exists to shelter them against.
Sorry Zuckerbros, but we will be keeping our gates.

Just in case some fools are still wondering how the #Fediverse might change #Meta, here's what their Android app betrays: "APK appears to contain [β¦] data models indicating #advertisements in the feed [β¦] The sheer amount of telemetry #Threads appears to collect is massive, far more than any other fediverse platform or application client. Why does Threads need #Health & #Fitness data, or #Financial info? Why do they need your #purchases and #search #history?"
