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.

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

Does any other human out there love smoked meats ?

Context for those out of the loop

[–] GnuLinuxDude@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The best part about the full smoked meats vid is when his "friends" (i.e. employees) come over. What really gets me is that the friends NEVER speak unless spoken to, because it's just a really awkward work event where Zuck has to pretend he has friends.

[–] spitz@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

It made him look so gosh dang relatable.

No, that's not the word I'm looking for. Unlikeable. That's the one.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I don't know about these smoking meats, but I enjoy human activities such as breathing air and walking with my leg.

[–] loz@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

This could be the intro to a found footage horror film about a cannibal that smokes his victims.

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.

Thanks for saving us lemmy.ml Admins.

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

o7. We're out here for yall, and we're gonna make sure the fediverse stays inoculated from threats.

[–] TerkErJerbs@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

I love this. Source ?

[–] Luxsidus@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

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.

...the lemmy.ml admin team took about 2 minutes to decide to pre-emptively block threats / Meta.

When the typo is more accurate than what was intended to be written.

[–] PorkrollPosadist@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Channeling Stallman and referring to the Windows 32 bit Application Programming Interface as lose32 instead of win32.

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Amen! I made a longer post explaining my reasoning for blocking Threads and the decision took only 15 minutes.

[–] Tenthrow@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I hope Lemmy.world does the same.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

Thank you Lemmy.ml Meta can F off.

[–] synth@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

preemptively blocking an instance just because it’s owned by meta and not due to bad conduct is cringe as fuck

[–] MeetInPotatoes@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

In what universe are you living in that meta does not have a history chock full of bad conduct?! Frog, meet scorpion.

Oh, and stop misusing "cringe" while you're at it.
