I still stand by what I said yesterday about how Lemmy.world’s stance is a lot better than Mastodon.social’s stance. However, it’s kind of a “at least they’re not blatantly singing the praises of Meta joining the Fediverse,” which is not a terribly high bar to clear. Also, that at the very least they paid a lip service to “defederation when needed.”

But when it really counts? I am not terribly sure Lemmy.world will actually do anything (hence, me tacking that 'if ever" part in the end). And as you’ve rightfully pointed out–even if they do something, it might already be too late.

I missed this part, and I was wrong in calling it a “vote”:

… Facebook has a built-in financial incentive to break our rules. ActivityPub has no protections against advertising, so it’s likely we will end up having to eventually defederate from Threads just for this reason alone.

‌ … While personally I feel that any theoretical pros are by far outweighed by cons, I do want to use this opportunity to see how much of the community disagrees with me. I am not intending to run this instance as a democracy (sorry if anybody is disappointed by that), but I would still like to have a clear picture of user feedback for potentially major decisions such as this one.

But yeah, I support lemm.ee’s decision as well.
