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.
You have to ask yourself why a company like Meta would even need to integrate with the Fediverse to begin with. If every IG user has a Threads account, that’s over 2.3 billion users, so they’re clearly not doing it because they need us.
Meta has a horrible track record when it comes to respecting their users. People suggesting sites federate with Meta need to re-evaluate why they’re even on Lemmy to begin with.
