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.
Mikina ( @Mikina@programming.dev ) 95•1 year agoI 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.
murphyj ( @murphyj@lemmy.ml ) 1•1 year agoIsn’t the Fediverse an idea? If so, that’s just someone’s opinion of the Fediverse. Activity Pub is the technology. Not saying it’s wrong, just adding context.

QuentinCallaghan ( @QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz ) 72•1 year ago“Hello, fellow humans!”
Does any other human out there love smoked meats ?
GnuLinuxDude ( @GnuLinuxDude@lemmy.ml ) 29•1 year agoThe 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 ( @spitz@lemmy.ml ) 4•10 months agoIt made him look so gosh dang relatable.
No, that’s not the word I’m looking for. Unlikeable. That’s the one.

loz ( @loz@aussie.zone ) 10•1 year agoThis could be the intro to a found footage horror film about a cannibal that smokes his victims.
QuentinCallaghan ( @QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz ) 7•1 year agoTyler Cassidy made also a good song about Zucc.
That one definitely is edited lol. Reminds me of the android from that Queen album cover
tracyspcy ( @tracyspcy@lemmy.ml ) 7•1 year agoHe likely has a skilled pr team that has crafted his image as unique, brilliant, and even all this alien/ lizard stuff. In general, he is simply a billionaire and for sure not have much in common with working people.
adderaline ( @ondoyant@beehaw.org ) 3•1 year agothe lizard thing is unfortunately just antisemitism, and older than zucc himself. the whole alien lizard people running the world bit comes from David Icke, who is very much a fascist, and was inspired directly by old school Nazi conspiracy theory texts like the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
Fredselfish ( @Fredselfish@lemmy.ml ) 69•1 year agoThank you Lemmy.ml Meta can F off.
FarLine99 ( @FarLine99@lemm.ee ) 9•1 year agoLemmy developers, thank you!
Sneezy McGlassface ( @sneezy@lemm.ee ) English60•1 year agoPeople 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 ( @BaconIsAVeg@lemmy.ml ) English19•1 year agoA 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.
Meow.tar.gz ( @ablackcatstail@lemmy.goblackcat.com ) English5•1 year agoUnfortunately, you’re not incorrect. They’re just sheeple.
Sneezy McGlassface ( @sneezy@lemm.ee ) English3•1 year agoI 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. Huggernaut ( @Huggernaut@beehaw.org ) English3•1 year agoIt’s too big to fail in the same way Facebook is. It’s inundated with normies. The actual interesting content and creators and worthwhile discussion will find a new home.
TerkErJerbs ( @TerkErJerbs@lemm.ee ) 55•1 year agoSo… you’re not gonna try Threads then???
FarLine99 ( @FarLine99@lemm.ee ) 6•1 year agoThis!
samideano ( @samideano@lemmy.ml ) 53•1 year agothe lemmy.ml admin team took about 2 minutes to decide to preemptively block threats / Meta
The only sane approach to this “dilemma”. Thank you for keeping the instance free of “threats” (I see what you did there)
Undearius ( @Undearius@lemmy.ca ) English25•1 year agoIt’s quite the dilemmy
Gsicht ( @Gsicht@lemmy.ml ) 39•1 year agoExcellent. Big corporations go against the very idea of the fediverse.
QuentinCallaghan ( @QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz ) 38•1 year agoAmen! I made a longer post explaining my reasoning for blocking Threads and the decision took only 15 minutes.
Marxine ( @Marxine@lemmy.ml ) 8•1 year agoCongrats on being based as well! I’m not on your server, but thanks for looking out for your users.
Firestorm Druid ( @v4ld1z@lemmy.zip ) 36•1 year agoGood riddance
Lemuria ( @lemuria@lemmy.ml ) 31•1 year agoGood riddance to Meta’s bullshit. Stop them before they get to the first E in EEE.
Here’s a sign to put up at the border between Lemmy.ml and Threads, which will surely have a 100-meter wall built on it with 50 kV electric fences, barbed wire, watchtowers, snipers, and whatever to keep those Meta corporate fuckers out.
Threads Quarantine Zone sign

corvus ( @corvus@lemmy.ml ) 27•1 year agoHaha… I wasn’t wrong when choosing lemmy.ml as my lemmy server 😉
ManifestStefany ( @ManifestStefany@lemmy.ml ) 9•1 year agoJoined today. Feeling good about this decision. 🤘🏿
Marxine ( @Marxine@lemmy.ml ) 5•1 year agoSame here, we gotta put our activity where our beliefs exist.
blob42 ( @blob42@lemmy.ml ) 26•1 year agoThank you for your integrity and ethics. This action sends a strong message to the capitalist leeches where we stand.
buco ( @buco@lemmy.fmhy.ml ) 24•1 year agoGreat news, now let’s hope every instance follows.
Luxsidus ( @Luxsidus@lemmy.ml ) 23•1 year agoJoined 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.
hawkwind ( @hawkwind@lemmy.management ) 23•1 year ago Sailing7 ( @Sailing7@lemmy.ml ) 2•1 year agoCould you tell me where you got this view?
Shatur ( @Shatur@lemmy.ml ) 3•1 year agoI see that Lemmy federates with several Mastodon instances. But how can I see content from them?
Shatur ( @Shatur@lemmy.ml ) 1•1 year agoAnd one more question, is “Instances” list populated automatically or admins manually create? Just curious.
