Well done. I hope more of the fediverse follows suit. Facebook has a long way to go to restore trust -- if that's possible at all. They're nowhere near that threshold yet.

Personally I don’t think there is anything they could do gain trust short of undoing their data harvesting. Which would destroy them as a business entity/platform.

Agreed. And I just saw lemmy.world's post explaining why they aren't going to defederate until Threads messes up. Personally, I think that's granting Facebook far too much benefit of doubt. I'd much rather belong to an instance that takes a wait-and-see approach before allowing Facebook to connect to its communities.

There's no way to build, let alone restore, trust with that kind of business model. All behavior manipulation companies need to die. Their mere existence is unethical.

Agreed on all counts. But since we can't kill them ourselves, the best we can do is keep them out of our communities.
