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.
Thank you!
Meta will only go full on E/E/E on the fediverse, even by “accident” (like adding new features and breaking the standard). Better choke them off right from the start and build small organic communities instead.
Ok so they make new features on their threads platform. All of a sudden cross posting from lemmy to threads gets more difficult because they aren’t respecting the standard.
Now what? Are all Lemmy users gonna flood over to Threads now? The vast majority don’t even want to federated to Threads, let alone migrate their accounts.
I think this whole thing is overblown. EEE is a real thing but nobody has yet to provide a concrete mechanism that can come about from just federation with Threads.
It’d be similar to the approach used to kill XMPP.
