The Fedipact statistics are interesting
7% of active users committed to #fedipact - https://fedidb.org/current-events/anti-meta-fedi-pact
* How representative of the user base is this, or are admins gatekeeping here? A large survey would be good to clear that up.
* EG, Mastodon, relative to its userbase, seems the most “Meta friendly” with only 57% of fedipact users (but ~80% all users)
* Fractal of niche-dom? Fedi ~1% of social media, fedi-pact ~ 10% of fedi. So anti-meta-fediverse ~0.1%?
Has Facebook even started federating yet? I haven’t bothered blocking them until I see a reason to but I’ve never even seen a Threads post anywhere.
7% of active users signing this thing would confirm my suspicions that the whole outrage is just a vocal minority, but these statistics don’t prove much. You can block domains without filling out a survey, or apply other restrictions (i.e. silencing the domain) which are probably more appropriate than a full-on block.
They began experimentally federating several of their staff accounts. I could read them directly on mastodon. I don’t THINK they could read any Mastodon data
