Meta needs to be cancelled from existence.
So anyone with a meta account could post ads that float through to here?
Anyone can create a Lemmy account and post ads already.
My home instance is taking a wait and see approach. If we get a bunch of ads or hate speech then they’re out.
As long as meta isn’t instantly defederated, and as such I guess I should switch to an instance that will defederate simply to keep ads away.
That reminded me to finally delete my Lemmy.world account 😅
What’s the issue with lemmy.world? Serious question
A little while ago a bunch of instances all decided not to federate with threads, lemmy.world said they would, a bunch of people got upset.
It’s federated with Threads. I dont wanna be on an instance federated with Threads. Don’t know why I got downvoted but whatevss
Am I to understand that I may see THREADS posts in the main feed here soon??? Oh god… 🤢🤢🤢🤮
Can’t they just leave us the fuck alone???
Yups. Lemmy.world is the biggest instance that hasn’t pre-emptively defederated from Threads. That’s problematic, because it’s also the biggest content provider for Lemmy. Ruud & Co are really dropping the ball here.
If the rest of the instances let them, then yes, but if none of the instances do, then no.
Gate keeping time, this is one of few situations where gate keeping is good
They’ve found a way to push disguised ads, haven’t they?
I‘m pretty sure Lemmy lets you block instances just like Mastodon. In that case, if your instance decides to federate with them, you can just block that instance.
I’ll move to an instance that aligns with my views instead…who’s to say that there won’t be some weird as backdoor deals with the instance owner and fuckerburg. Money makes people do bad bad things.
While I get the sentiment, your posts are public anyway, so they’re just a tiny step away from being scraped by Meta. Technically, they wouldn’t need to bother with federation for just profiling you or training their AI on your or anyone’s posts. Although, Meta will sure as hell find a way to blacken the pages - one way or any other.
God forbid our communication protocol of choice gets widely adapted before global communist revolution.
I think Cottle means all the engineers at Meta have good intentions and I believe him. Its not the engineers whom I doubt its the managers, MBAs and CEOs I don’t trust.
