It should come as no surprise that the lemmy.ml admin team took about 2 minutes to decide to pre-emptively block threats / Meta. Their transparent and opportunistic scheme to commodify the fediverse and it's users will not be allowed to proceed.

We strongly encourage other instance administrators to do the same, given the grave threat they pose to the fediverse.

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

Does any other human out there love smoked meats ?

Context for those out of the loop

[-] GnuLinuxDude@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

The best part about the full smoked meats vid is when his "friends" (i.e. employees) come over. What really gets me is that the friends NEVER speak unless spoken to, because it's just a really awkward work event where Zuck has to pretend he has friends.

[-] spitz@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

It made him look so gosh dang relatable.

No, that's not the word I'm looking for. Unlikeable. That's the one.

This could be the intro to a found footage horror film about a cannibal that smokes his victims.

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.

[-] burgundymyr@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

100% I will only be using instances that don't federate with corporations.

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

Joined a few Lemmy instances, but the admin team taking actions like these might make lemmy.ml my main place to go. Anything corporate is irredeemable.

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Prophylactic intervention is the best defense against Metastasis.

Well done Lemmy.ml - hopefully the rest of the fediverse follows your example. This is, no exaggeration, an existential threat to the fed.

Awesome. This is great news. I just joined this instance and happy to see this position.

[-] sneezy@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

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?

[-] BaconIsAVeg@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

A lot of people left Reddit because it was a drowning ship. They didn't flock to the fediverse because of what it stands for, and they'll happily bounce over to the next popular corporate run data farm at their earliest convenience.

[-] sneezy@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I agree with your sentiment, however I don't think Reddit is a sinking ship. It sucks, me and many other people are angry with them, some of us left but it's not nearly enough to make them actually sink. Reddit is too recognizable a brand.
They're too big to fail.

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

[-] Undearius@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

It's quite the dilemmy

[-] howdy@thesimplecorner.org 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yes excellent! No corporations!!! Just blocked on mine.

[-] Dirk@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

So you need to put threads.net on you defederation list?

[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

That's already done.

[-] marito@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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.
