Does Lemm.ee plan to de-federate from instagram threads? (lemm.ee)

I cam here to get away from all the corporate BS, but suddenly people want to welcome Facebook/Meta to the fediverse? I cannot fathom how people see their intentions as pure or innocent, especially since they aim to profit off of the open source software everyone has worked so hard on.

I just don’t see how the fediverse survives if it decides to let these massive companies make their instances. It feels like it’ll be a repeat of the rise of social media, where all the smaller forms got wiped out by large, consolidated social media platforms.

You would gave to pick/make an instance that has the fed-list you desire. But you can make your own custom instance for just you and your friends. Don't even need to host any communities or take up any server space doing it. So, if you look at it that way... Yes. Yes it is up to the user. It's just a bit tricky.

So theroerically I could make an instance like lem.ee by myself for the sole purpose of holding my profile, give it a cool name like flipping.flops and then “block” the instances I don’t like?

This is what I ended up doing with Invidious. Rolled my own instance and serve it out to my devices over a ZeroTier network. It is kind of funny that there is all this PostgreSQL table and backend setup to support a single user, but it works really well.
