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.
Every time I see a picture of him I think it has to be edited or something. He’s like a walking Snapchat filter.
“Hello, fellow humans!”
Does any other human out there love smoked meats ?
The best part about the full smoked meats vid is when his “friends” (i.e. employees) come over. What really gets me is that the friends NEVER speak unless spoken to, because it’s just a really awkward work event where Zuck has to pretend he has friends.
It made him look so gosh dang relatable.
No, that’s not the word I’m looking for. Unlikeable. That’s the one.
This could be the intro to a found footage horror film about a cannibal that smokes his victims.
Tyler Cassidy made also a good song about Zucc.
I don’t know about these smoking meats, but I enjoy human activities such as breathing air and walking with my leg.

HELLO, FELLOW HUMANS
Good god that’s terrifying.

Bro didn’t want a sunburn I guess, lol.
He likely has a skilled pr team that has crafted his image as unique, brilliant, and even all this alien/ lizard stuff. In general, he is simply a billionaire and for sure not have much in common with working people.
the lizard thing is unfortunately just antisemitism, and older than zucc himself. the whole alien lizard people running the world bit comes from David Icke, who is very much a fascist, and was inspired directly by old school Nazi conspiracy theory texts like the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
I would like to also add this argument into the discussion, since I’ve seen a lot of people who are voting for federating with meta, with the argument that defederating just because we don’t like someone goes against the idea of Fediverse, and interconnected network of diverse servers that is should inclusive and allows people to connect.
It’s quite the contrary - allowing Meta in goes directly against the idea of Fediverse, and we should fight it as much as possible.
This is a literal quote from the main header on https://www.fediverse.to/
The fediverse is a collection of community-owned, ad-free, decentralised, and privacy-centric social networks.
Each fediverse instance is managed by a human admin. You can find fediverse instances dedicated to art, music, technology, culture, or politics.
Join the growing community and experience the web as it was meant to be.
Judging by this main selling point of the Fediverse, it sounds to me like Meta shouldn’t be in the Fediverse do begin with, and every instance should defederate from them by default.
YOUR MOVE LEMMY.WORLD

I love this. Source ?

It’s very strange to me that a lot of the pro-facebook views below seem to start with the base assumption that facebook is out to help the fediverse, and have no malicious motives behind all this. Its like inviting a con-man into your home because they super-promised they’ll make you rich.
Really surprising that some people can’t see through Facebooks opportunism, and are suddenly willing to trust these con-artists.

Amen! I made a longer post explaining my reasoning for blocking Threads and the decision took only 15 minutes.
Congrats on being based as well! I’m not on your server, but thanks for looking out for your users.
A welcome move. F**k megacorps polluting everything on internet.

The only sane approach to this “dilemma”. Thank you for keeping the instance free of “threats” (I see what you did there)
It’s quite the dilemmy
Excellent. Big corporations go against the very idea of the fediverse.
People left reddit because of corporate f*ckery, and some of them are now making excuses for meta?? What kind of mental gymnastics is this?
A lot of people left Reddit because it was a drowning ship. They didn’t flock to the fediverse because of what it stands for, and they’ll happily bounce over to the next popular corporate run data farm at their earliest convenience.
Thank you Lemmy.ml Meta can F off.
Lemmy developers, thank you!
Good riddance
Joined a few Lemmy instances, but the admin team taking actions like these might make lemmy.ml my main place to go. Anything corporate is irredeemable.
I hope Lemmy.world does the same.
