No one would argue meta isnโt pure evil, but thatโs where people are. unfortunately not everyone is able to figure out how to join the fediverse, and many people are only on metaโs platforms because thats where the people they communicate with are.
Itโs wrong to hold the negative actions of a company that is essentially holding everyoneโs friends hostage (ie: they wonโt have a way of contacting them outside of meta platfoms) against the people being kept hostage.
What even is this point? Marginalized communities exist on #meta in huge numbers, #Fedipact only futher alienates those people who may otherwise be open to moving platforms if not for large portions of fediverse blocking the one platform where all their currently existing friends and communities already exist.
try being trans and on facebook, having a list of common suicide methods sent to you by a bigot, and reporting it. theyโll do goddamn nothing. a real, personal, and depressingly common example
So the solution is for the majority of trans people on facebook to just not know about fediverse at all? Or do people think the existence of Mastodon and how to use common knowledge to your average non-tech savy (trans)person and they are just choosing to stay on a platform that lets them be harassed?
If #meta threads is such a hostile place for marginalized people, why arenโt we brigadding posts on threads to drown out the bigots and show support for those who need it.
