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.

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.

I'd bet a lot of the so called "supporters" are astro-turfed accounts.

i doubt they have any malicious intent because the fediverse is nothing to them. they'll use and improve activitypub, which is great, but eventually corporate strategy/shareholders will take them in a different direction and they'll fork. damage will de done to the fediverse regardless, but there is no malicious intent involved.

lets not federate and take their contributions to source, best of both worlds.
