Lemmy.ml has now blocked Threads.net
Happy with this.
Waiting for others to follow.
They’ll be devastated when they find out my closed instance with 2 users, 1 of which is inactive, also pre-emptively de-federated them. I shudder to think they’ll ever recover.
For me, yes. My instance is considerably faster and has better uptime than any of the instances I have created accounts on. Mostly because I’m the only one using it.
I already owned the domain and have access to a server with more than enough resources, so it didn’t have a downside to me.
Upside, I don’t really have to worry about anyone else’s federation choices. Undesirable content like loli/shouta stuff doesn’t appear at all, because I’m basically the only user and don’t subscribe to anywhere that exists so it doesn’t federate to me anyway. My instance never lags because nobody but me uses it. Sometimes it misses comments through federation from overloaded instances, but it seems like the newer version of Lemmy has helped that greatly.
Oh, but not the first largest Lemmy instance?
Hmmm… I wonder who that could be…
The beehaw admins are a bit wackadoo, but calling them Nazis is so far out in left field lmao. Not the proper type of insult I don’t think.
There we go. Not the wishy washy mastodon non-announcement. Although I understand their “neutrality” too, it’s still like they wanna seem like the big boys. Sometimes it’s advantageous to be small. This “fuck you” may be just adorable to Zuck, but it’s also genuine.
At least on Mastodon each user can decide for themselves if they want to block a domain or not.
Its a .net? Is that going to be a more expensive top level domain now?
