Will this instance be joining the fedipact? (vlemmy.net)

I've been hearing that Meta (Facebook) intends to join the fediverse. I have some very big concerns about that, as do apparently many others. There exists a group of instances called the fedipact which will not be federating with Meta, and I was wondering if this instance would be joining. So there is no ambiguity with this post: I have no desire to participate in any instance that is federated with Facebook, and will kindly pass on another Eternal September. Hope that doesn't come off as aggressive, that's just where I'm at.

We know what Meta is, how they operate, how they collect and abuse data, how they prioritize ad revenue over user experience, how they've abused and manipulated elections, how they center whiteness, etc. What is there to wait and see?
