This.

People like to ignore the fact that the main concern people signing or supporting the fedipact have is the well-being of marginalised/oppressed communities that have made the fediverse their home because big social media wasn't safe for us.

Meta has a history of promoting a hostile environment for queer people, people of colour, non-Christian people, poor and homeless people, activists, people with uteri, etc.; and it actively whitelists groups that promote hate and violence against these communities. Meta coming here puts all of us members of marginalised groups in danger.

I remember listening to a podcast from The Verge where they portrayed the anti-meta pact as primarily a way for tech men to keep control of these spaces.

It's funny (not really) that they want to portray the fedipact that way because techbros/tech men are the only ones here that see Meta "joining" the fediverse as a great oportunity/something positive
