The Agora
In the spirit of the Ancient Greek Agora, we invite you to join our vibrant community - a contemporary meeting place for the exchange of ideas, inspired by the practices of old. Just as the Agora served as the heart of public life in Ancient Athens, our platform is designed to be the epicenter of meaningful discussion and thought-provoking dialogue.
Here, you are encouraged to speak your mind, share your insights, and engage in stimulating discussions. This is your opportunity to shape and influence our collective journey, just like the free citizens of Athens who gathered at the Agora to make significant decisions that impacted their society.
You're not alone in your quest for knowledge and understanding. In this community, you'll find support from like-minded individuals who, like you, are eager to explore new perspectives, challenge their preconceptions, and grow intellectually.
Remember, every voice matters and your contribution can make a difference. We believe that through open dialogue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to discovery, we can foster a community that embodies the democratic spirit of the Agora in our modern world.

As I understand defederation, it only blocks their content from showing up here. But not the other way around.
Everything posted here, every comment, vote, etc. is completely public and anyone can collect that data. So the argument that Meta is scraping data therefore we should defederate is nonsensical.
It is too soon to defederate with Meta, and it's extremely reactionary and ineffective if the sole motivation is to hurt Meta or protect our data. Defederation accomplishes none of that. It only makes communities on Lemmy look immature and capricious by defederating from a company along the rationale of FACEBOOK BAD.
If I understand it, it would prevent our content from automatically propagating over there (our server doesnt send content). But if they want to make another stealth instance and farm the content from there they could.
