What's the difference between "fedipact" and "blocked"?
Fedipact is an anti meta pact that some instances have taken.
Blocked is instances that have blocked meta but aren't part of that pact. Blahaj zone is one of the latter for example. We block threads because it houses hate groups. Were it to stop doing that, we wouldn't block them, but fedipact members still would, because their concerns are to do with what Meta itself represents
It's also that a bunch of them have private blocklists, but have agreed to the fedipact (seen with
:onhover) and therefore haveNice to hear. I am all in with keeping Zuck out of the Fediverse. Any initiative in that direction is a positive step, in my view.
I think it's just the fact that they've additionally signed this "pact" that says they'll never federate with them or anything else meta again. See the link at the bottom of the page.
It's mostly just symbolic, a sign of commitment.
