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.

    They can also just join an instance that doesn’t mind facebook ads and mass surveillance.

      So just the act of federating with them will subject me to ads? I assumed I would have to be using the threads app.

        If you’ve used instagram in the past 3 years, you’d see how blurry they’ve made the line between post and ad.

          I get where you’re coming from but even if there was no way to block the ads, I still think it’s fine as long as it stays on their instance. If I’m not seeing ads on Lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy but i subscribe to threads.net/c/meta and see one there I don’t see the problem. Would love to hear your thoughts.
