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.
Yep. My only concern about Meta joining the Fediverse through ActivityPub is privacy related.
Any federated instance can read any other federated instance, their users and what they do or what they talk about. A perfect victim for Meta's ad-targeting data siphon.
Yea that’s interesting, it’s already public data but I get your point.
It's public data to some degree.
It's a whole other thing when they can see what an admin of an instance can see.
They probably can already see that. It doesn't take much to start an instance.
True. Still worth fighting.
