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 2 years ago (1 children)

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 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago (1 children)

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 2 years ago (1 children)

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?

[–] howdy@thesimplecorner.org 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

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 2 years ago

It's quite the dilemmy

[–] DAC_Protogen@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I would say we need a vote if lemmy.world should do the same. I would be for blocking meta.

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

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

That's already done.
