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.
Fair enough, even if a far-fetched scenario in my opinion. There's a bit over estimated sense of how much the community is worth to Meta.
I kinda sorta agree? Like, I agree it's not likely but the problem is that it's VERY possible and (afaik) we have no good way of detecting if it happens or not.
So at that point it becomes a matter of opinion, whether you think it's a 1% chance Meta would do that, or a 25% chance, and at what point you say the chance is to high to risk it.
