Lemmy.ml has now blocked threads.net / Meta

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.

I would say we need a vote if lemmy.world should do the same. I would be for blocking meta.
- +1
- X2
- Well, why don't we have a Lemmy feature where the individual user can block content and users from an instance? Rather than defederating completely?
- I wonder how qualified the average Lemmy user is to participate in this sort of decision. This call to defederate feels a lot like Brexit. Maybe I'm just projecting my own ignorance, but I doubt 1 in 50 people have a more informed opinion than "meta bad".
