Posting my EE stuff here, mostly embedded and FPGA work.
I’m not asking for Meta to be chased out of the fediverse or for there to be a widespread fediblock. In fact, I think Project 92 could fit in just fine with masto.soc and all the other general-purpose instances, provided that they’re better data stewards moving forward than before. That’s just not why I’m here, and I don’t want them to feel entitled to my data, even if there’s no technical way to stop them from getting access to it.

Project 92 wouldn’t fit in with the Networked Communities philosophy that I use Fedi for. Normally that would just call for a silence, but given Meta’s extremely poor stewardship of people’s data in the past, especially those who didn’t opt into the data collection in the first place, I think a preemptive full-defederation is warranted rather than a silence. It seems like a Rule 6 matter, too.
@crashdoom Do you mean that you’ll be adopting that style of DNP list, or taking the list directly? A lot of names on that list are there because of issues with e621 specifically, and aren’t intended to apply to other sites.
