How about Lemmy.World?

The admins stated on Mastodon that they’re not going to defederate until something happens. Knowing Meta they shouldn’t give them the chance.

Here’s the link: https://mastodon.world/@mwadmin/110654590632768079

Thats unfortunate. I’ll be moving instances then. Giving Meta a chance is a lot like giving a mosquito a chance to not suck your blood.

How do you move? I signed up through .world but don’t want a chance of touching the poo (meta).

This behavior is why the fediverse alienate users and makes it hostile for new people to join.

They didn’t do anything, yet. Give them the chance but start with 2 strikes on their account already. They fuck up, THEN you defederate. Innocent until proven otherwise.

Edit: go on, downvote me. Show me your face. Show me how you’re all against growth on Lemmy and niceness to each other.

“until something happens”

I suppose Metas history of actively being a bad actor working against societies best interests and enabling hate groups doesn’t qualify as ‘something’…

How do you do that? I’m subscribed to like 50 conmunities. Would I have to start all over? That doesn’t sound like it’s worth it.

People think I’m exaggerating when I say Meta is evil, but this is one of the stories that jumps to mind. Awful company.

Oh damn guess I will migrate to lemmy.ml and use that until I find out if lemmy.world defederates or not. (Edit turns out it is run by tankies and they are federated with lemmygrad.) While I may or may not stay on lemmy.world depending on if we federate with meta or not. I will no longer suggest Lemmy.ml.

I’m not in a hurry to migrate, as Threads doesn’t support federation yet, but is not a bad idea to keep an eye on other instances.

The admin is the same person, so is expected that they apply the same policy for both instances.

Thank you and the other admins for the thoughtful and transparent answer.

We would like to express our disappointment with the negative and threatening tone of some of these discussions

Considering that a great percentage of the Fediverse userbase are ex-users of Reddit and Twitter that left due to CEO actions, I get that they (including me) don’t trust Meta or want anything to do with them. I agree that discussion should be civil nonetheless.

until something happens

What exact behaviors are they looking for that would cause them to push the block button?

Threads can do very well for themselves without the fediverse as they are already demonstrating. What real motive do they have to join the fediverse except to shut it down?

Heck yeah. That’s a very balanced and rational approach completely unfuelled by emotions.

Can’t say the same for the top comment in this thread, lol.

Facebook doesn’t give a shit about its users and treats them and their data as a crop to harvest. On Meta platforms, you’re the product. On the fediverse, you’re just another user, free to do what you want. Disgust is indeed an emotion, and I’m 100% fine with being disgusted with Meta.

Is it more rational than only federating once they’ve proven that it’ll be fine? (instead of waiting for them to prove they’re not)

So far on Lemmy I had never looked for the option to block a single user. You have changed that.

Oh look, this place is just like Reddit with the rational talk buried in the comments. Thank you for being here despite the apparently unpopular opinion we share.

The problem with Meta is that they will harm the Fediverse.

I found this article interesting, written by a dev who worked with google during the XMPP EEE and was originally a XMPP dev, thinking that a big company could only mean more success for the FOSS alternative. He was wrong.

It’s almost like some people crave enshitification.

“Hey this decentralized stuff is really cool, let’s connect with the most gigantic corporate assholes who would absolutely centralize all of it if they could…you know, so we can grow! What could go wrong?”

LIke…what?

I wish even one person could give the actual steps on how Facebook is going to ruin the fediverse instead of just spamming this same one article and throwing around the same buzzwords like XMPP, EEE etc. of which nobody had heard about a week ago.

There’s so many people here right now reading this thinking that defederating is going to prevent Facebook from seeing the content you post here and collecting the little data that’s available to them. It doesn’t. That’s not what defederating does.

Yeah I really hope they come out with the user’s ability to block instances soon. Would be a great feature addition. There are a couple of instances that I take no issue with and don’t want others to be blocked access too, but I really just don’t want to see them in my feed.

If you use Lemmy Connect, they added the option to block instances like yesterday.

If you as user block an instance that doesn’t really solve the problem, Threads is still federated and getting your stuff, it’s just hidden from you
