Not sure what to think of this honestly. Like imagine a small email provider decided to block Gmail, that's a death sentence. It's impossible to get people to switch apps when they have to leave behind all of the content and people they used an app to interact with. And let's be honest, threads is going to run at a loss for a long time to grow their userbase before they start pulling weird shit. We need to have a migration path when that happens, and if threads is blocked everywhere, people will lose their content and contacts upon switching, so they won't do it.

Every time I see his face it looks like it's a photo shop to make him look bad but it's his actual face

Good news! Fuck Zuck!

My instance as well as the other Lemmy and Mastodon instances on this list have blocked Threads.

I mean, if Lemmy.world doesn't when they decide to try and move in, I'll just move on to the next site that does. Prolly Lemmy.ml

Can someone ELI5 this situation to me? Not sure what Meta can do to instances/the Fediverse.

I don't generally judge people based on their appearance, but this man's face gives me the heebie-jeebies. There's something alienating about the lack of affect he seems to have, plus his features seem to be an approximation of a human face - the mouth is too small, the ears too big, the forehead too shiny...

I'm pretty conflicted about this I gotta say.

So that settles it. We have an option if meta federated and it goes to shit. Lemmy.world's stance is correct. Let's just see how this goes.

I am so in love with Lemmy right now.

Sweet action! After hearing about Lemmy.world not doing the same i'll be switching instances. It's great that I can make that decision.
