I didn't come to a new service just to see it get taken over by the corporate beasts who ruined the internet in general, and I am sure as hell am not going to use an instance that doesn't care about its users.

I think the admin of this instance might have been paid off to federate with Threads, it being one of the most popular.

So, I am giving y'all 24 hours to defederate and if the Lemmy.world admins don't, I'm-a bounce and close down my subs behind me

That is all

The admins were probably paid off. There are people actively defending being federated with Zuck bullshit and they're likely dumb shills or bots too.

I left Reddit specifically to get away from this shit, yet here we are. 🤦

Admins paid off? That's absurd. Lemmy.world are taking a moderate wait-and-see approach. I disagree with that stance, but to insinuate they are corrupt because they aren't as reactionary as you are is ridiculous.

Yeah, someone else the other day also said that the mastodon founder out of all people, was bribed by meta, lmao. And he followed up by saying that because we can't prove it, it must be true. You could prove anything, even that lizard men exist, with that attitude. Just another day in any social media, i suppose.

@burrp @pinkdrunkenelephants I don't think the idea of admins paid off is absurd, however, tossing that accusation out there, with zero proof, is.

I think you are the bot here because this can't be true 🤦

There is no federation with Threads because it isn’t federated yet.

[–] HeartyBeast@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

A question for you. Is any Lemmy instance federated with Threads?

What would facebook have to gain from paying LEMMY ADMINS this far in advance? If it was mastodon admins that would be one thing, but lemmy isnt even the target for threats, and the instances are so small yet it is practically useless for facebook to pursue something that could backfire so hard by people leaking the messages if they offered to bribe admins...
