I would like to explain to you in detail why it is of great importance to protect our community (CORTEX IMPLANT, NIGHT CITY BAR, CYBERPUNK PICS, CYBERWARE and TOTENTANZ) from meta. This is not just about personal preferences or opinions, but about protecting our values, our privacy and our safety.
I speak only for myself here, opinions of other mods may differ.
Meta, as the company behind platforms like Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, has made increasingly negative headlines in recent years. There have been numerous reports of data breaches, misuse of personal information and the spread of misinformation. These incidents raise serious concerns and affect the trust we place in such platforms.
As a community that includes many LGBTQIA+ individuals, we have created a safe space online. This space provides protection, support and a platform for sharing experiences and information. We have worked hard to create an inclusive and supportive environment where our members can feel safe. It is important that we preserve this space and protect it from potential threats.
Meta has already shown that it struggles to adequately address discrimination and hate speech. Platforms like Instagram are already rife with anti-LGBTQIA groups that threaten our community and stand for hate and intolerance. If Meta comes to Fediverse, there is a real risk that these groups will have even easier access to us and our content. This could threaten the safety and wellbeing of our members.
In addition, we need to take into account that moderation of Meta platforms is often done by external subcontractors who work on a minimum wage basis. This can lead to inadequate moderation and make us even more vulnerable to attacks. By protecting our community from meta, we retain control of our space and can continue to set our own rules and values. We can ensure that our community remains free from hate, discrimination and potential danger.
By blocking meta, we send a clear message about protecting our community and defending our values. This is not about suppressing other opinions or cutting off dialogue. Rather, it is about protecting our community and ensuring that we can interact in an environment that is free from hate, discrimination and potential danger.
Our safe haven online is a place of sharing, support and growth for all of us. It is a place where we can express ourselves freely, without fear of judgement or attack. By protecting our community from meta, we not only maintain our safety, but also our independence. We can continue to set our own rules and values and ensure that our space is a place where all members feel safe and respected.
I ask you to consider this perspective and work together to protect our community. Let's work together to ensure that our safe haven online is maintained and continues to be a place of sharing, support and growth for all of us.
Our community is strong and diverse. We have a great mod team here and wonderful people who support and respect each other. Let's work together to defend our values and protect our community from potential negative impacts.
