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.

    I’ll never make a threads account, but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t want to interact with anyone from threads. That’s the beauty of the fediversve: I can still talk to metas users without sacrificing my first born to the zucc.

      NO…the beauty of the Fediverse is that corporate interests aren’t welcome here. It’s a new frontier and you’re advocating that we extend an invite to the ones that fucked up the last frontier. Make a threads account if that’s important, you have ZERO argument for the rest of us to need the ability to connect with them from a platform specifically designed for decentralized control.

          Same, but what is peaceful about this is not having any reason at all to give a rats what Elon Musk, Spez, or Zuck are trying to do next to wring more money out of their investments. Enjoy life as well.

        Some instances will federate with Threads. Those will have much more content because they will be connected to millions of people. Over time, they get bigger than the ones that don’t.

        Eventually, all big instances are federated with Threads.

        you have zero argument foe the rest of us

        And neither do you. It’s the admins of the instances that ultimately have the say. This isn’t any more democratic than reddit. It’s just easier to switch instances if you don’t like something.

        There will be plenty of instances for federation with meta and plenty without. No need to get worked up about it. This is what an open standards means. It means people can openly use it.

            Ya buddy I’m a shill. Meta is paying me big bucks.

            You might not like what I have to say but pay attention the next few months. I fully expect federation to happen to at least some instances. Which will lead to influx of users on that instance over time.
