MODERATORS
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.

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?
This - I don’t care much about “corporate fuckery” in this context. The reason I left Reddit is that losing Apollo was sufficiently painful to prompt me to try something else. Honestly the pervasive anti-capitalist and FOSS-worshiping sentiments here are kind of off-putting.
If you're against foss go to adobe, they have subscriptions (finance capitalism, rent seeking)
I’m not anti-FOSS but I do believe there’s a place for both it and paid/closed-source software to coexist. I don’t think proprietary software is inherently evil and am fine paying for it if I get a corresponding amount of value from its use.
