If it took you pulling the trigger, how many people would you murder to make a slightly better compression algorithm?

If you outsourced the murder to someone else, how many people would you be OK with murdering?

Wouldn't it be better if we didn't continue to support corporations who enable genocide around the world?

Now, ultimately I'll still end up using zstd. I'm not happy about it's ties to Facebook. But it's code that exists out there now, I don't see the reason to not use it. But I'll still try and avoid giving Facebook any money or praise. I don't give praise to Facebook engineers, at least not ones recently working there. They're massively paid in blood money, and they should already understand that by now. Their products hurt societies around the world, and they don't actually change.
