Yes please block them, I don't want Meta poisoning Lemmy. If I wanted to see facebook content I would have a facebook account, I don't.

I actually would prefer .world not block Facebook's Threads. I have some accounts on other instances that will be blocking them, so I can switch to those if it becomes an issue.

In any case, I think it's a tough decision and I do like .world simply because of how open it is.

I support either decision. I only just got here damn it lol

I feel like this is entirely against Lemmy.world's ethos of "a general-purpose Lemmy instance of various topics, for the entire world to use" (emphasis mine). I for one joined this instance exactly because they didn't have a ban-happy federation policy like some of the other big ones. I understand people's concerns, but if you want a "fuck corporations" walled garden instance, I feel like there are better homes for you somewhere else...
