well, if we're blocking the biggest "fediverse instance" ever just because its owned by a giant tech corporation, that would only cause trouble adapting to the fediverse in the future

i mean yeah sure meta is evil and everything, but the point of the fediverse and the activitypub protool is that its open for anyone and everyone to adapt to their own tech, and blocking an instance with SEVERAL MILLIONS of people in it wont help improving the fediverse, we're doing the opposite of what we're supposed to do

might as well block every domain coming from meta since HTTP is also a federated and open protocol if thats gonna make it better

the right wing and nazis have ways been on fedi and twitter, they are only much more apparent now because there isnt an algorithm on fedi to hide them, which is a good thing because now we can filter and remove the bad from the good instead of everyone

also i dont like the mentality of blocking millions of people on a mainstream social media site from the rest of the fediverse just because it just happened to have a few bad apples in there that also hopped on like everyone else

If you want to see posts on threads just make an account over there. Many on Lemmy don't want to see that garbage.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)

  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
