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.
What are the odds meta doesn’t make a ton of accounts to vote their way? Defederating meta/threads is not something that needs to be voted on when we know exactly what they will do to activitypub given the chance
I completely disagree that its not something worth voting, but I already seem to be in a minority ( or less vocal opinion), so…
I don’t understand your position. Why do you want one of the most unethical corporate actors interacting with the fediverse?
It doesn’t matter to me what company it is, I think it’s more important that we get a bigger community with a plurality of opinions and ideas. I also don’t believe it risks anything.
AFAIK You’re thinking “worth” as is “should the people’s voices be heard”. The other person is thinking “worth” as in “can we trust that the voices being heard are actually the people’s voices and not a giant bot farm being used by Meta to skew the results in their favor?”
Fair enough, even if a far-fetched scenario in my opinion. There’s a bit over estimated sense of how much the community is worth to Meta.
