YOUR MOVE LEMMY.WORLD

Every time I see a picture of him I think it has to be edited or something. He’s like a walking Snapchat filter.

A welcome move. F**k megacorps polluting everything on internet.

I would like to also add this argument into the discussion, since I've seen a lot of people who are voting for federating with meta, with the argument that defederating just because we don't like someone goes against the idea of Fediverse, and interconnected network of diverse servers that is should inclusive and allows people to connect.

It's quite the contrary - allowing Meta in goes directly against the idea of Fediverse, and we should fight it as much as possible.

This is a literal quote from the main header on https://www.fediverse.to/

The fediverse is a collection of community-owned, ad-free, decentralised, and privacy-centric social networks.

Each fediverse instance is managed by a human admin. You can find fediverse instances dedicated to art, music, technology, culture, or politics.

Join the growing community and experience the web as it was meant to be.

Judging by this main selling point of the Fediverse, it sounds to me like Meta shouldn't be in the Fediverse do begin with, and every instance should defederate from them by default.

Thanks for saving us lemmy.ml Admins.

...the lemmy.ml admin team took about 2 minutes to decide to pre-emptively block threats / Meta.

When the typo is more accurate than what was intended to be written.

So... you're not gonna try Threads then???

based

whats the threat here huh?

Is threads misspelled here deliberately?

Amen! I made a longer post explaining my reasoning for blocking Threads and the decision took only 15 minutes.

People left reddit because of corporate f*ckery, and some of them are now making excuses for meta?? What kind of mental gymnastics is this?

Nice decision

I hope Lemmy.world does the same.

Whenever I see Zuck I think of this song "Is Mark Zuckerberg a Ghost" by Nap Eyes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gq2YhOY55zU

Also, this is the right move. Facebook/Meta only wants to harvest our data and profit off it.

Thank you Lemmy.ml Meta can F off.

Excellent. Big corporations go against the very idea of the fediverse.

The only sane approach to this "dilemma". Thank you for keeping the instance free of "threats" (I see what you did there)

Good riddance

Hi guys, I'm new here from Reddit and I'm still learning about Lemmy and the Fediverse. Can someone ELI5 how not blocking Threads can negatively affect this community? Thanks.
