YOUR MOVE LEMMY.WORLD

I 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.

Awesome. This is great news. I just joined this instance and happy to see this position.

Every time I see a picture of him I think it has to be edited or something. He’s like a walking Snapchat filter.

I spent a month getting an instance set up on .world, wearing my account in, putting up with the lag and other constant problems... then I read about this threads™ nonsense and how .world were playing a "wait and see" game with an evil empire. Read this thread (heh!), moved to .ml. Much smoother and more glitch-free experience. Just have to start over again. So far so good!

People left reddit because of corporate f*ckery, and some of them are now making excuses for meta?? What kind of mental gymnastics is this?

A welcome move. F**k megacorps polluting everything on internet.

So... you're not gonna try Threads then???

Yes excellent! No corporations!!! Just blocked on mine.

Thank you for your integrity and ethics. This action sends a strong message to the capitalist leeches where we stand.

I am a little new to this. What do you mean by not letting them in, or blocking them? Not allowing them to create a "lemmy.threads" instance or something like that?

I hope Lemmy.world does the same.

Kudos...... It's very much appreciated and a refreshing change to not be let down by something you enjoy online.

Joined 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.

I think a preemptive block on threads and meta is a wise move! I did it for both my Mastodon and Lemmy instances.

God I can’t wait to stop seeing his face, so much of it lately

This is the kind of thing that made me choose this instance in the first place. Thanks for making my online social place of choice feel safe.

Lemmy.ml is devil they said. Who ? Capitalist's Nazis fasicts

Hi guys, I'm new here from Reddit and I'm still learning about Lemmy and the Fediverse. Can someone ELI5 how not blocking Threads can negatively affect this community? Thanks.
