Completely support .ml defederating. But most Twitter/Reddit exiles want/need a bigger network for the breadth and depth of content they got from those sites. Universal defederation does nothing but hand those users (and their data) to Meta.
I want to get Meta's data without giving them my data. If there are no instances that allow me to do that, I will cry.
Thank you!
Would anything change on Lemmy, even if you federate with Threads?
You follow communities here on Lemmy, while on Threads you follow people. The only way for a Lemmy user to find a Threads user, would be looking for their username directly in the search bar.
In that sense, what does a Lemmy instance gain from defederating with Meta?
Honestly I am confused by this too. If you don't federate with threads doesn't that just make it easier to grow? Personally I am more curious about Mastodon now because if people I follow on twitter move to threads I can just use mastodon and not twitter or threads...
In my personal opinion, Lemmy should be more focused on content rather than RAPID growth.
Growth is usually related to corporations mindset, which is a "for-profit" mindset, and unfortunately, as we seen in the past it, it comes with "by all means" attitude, results in manipulating users, make users addicted, and more actions at the expense of the users.
You'll see that when Lemmy will pile up more content, the community will naturally grow in a healthy manner.

Cool.
So what’s this mean, no one can post links to threads or meta content?
