Lemmy.ml has now blocked threads.net / Meta
(lemmy.ml)
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 one of their press releases has fediverse integration as a major selling point. Whether they go through with it or not, we should be ready to take them at their word.
That's why I think it won't happen. Now that everyone's been "sold" on it, there's no incentive for them to actually do it. But they got the fediverse talking about them ad nauseam right now, which I think is exactly what they want.
