I didn't even sign up, I just wanted to see what it was all about, whining about politics and general madness, just like twitter, not for me, so I didn't end up signing
Were talking about meta here, this is a bait and switch attempt (I see it that way)
They launch their new twitter competitor, everyone moves over to their new twitter clone, they will try and hold the power on standarts of federation (like any big tech corporation that has a smaller rival that succedes more then them, see microsoft vs netscape for refrence)
If they will fail with that, they will try to seduce lemmy and mastodon instaces with monetization and big money handouts, were talking about facebook here after all, they are not short of scummy tactics
This is a reminder to lemmy users, that this new meta expriement will use the ActivityPub protocol, meaning that it can interact with other lemmy instances, please urge your lemmy instance admins to de-federate from this crap as soon as it launches!
Mastodon seems to become yet another rage cage like twitter, first thing I saw when I opened it yesterday was people bitching about politics, that's a BIG nope for me
Same thing happened with google and xmpp as another user linked to, this is why i dont want facebook involvment, we cannot allow them to interact with lemmy or mastodon, their scummy tactics will force instaces to interact with them, and then meta will try to shut them down
That is also why I do not want meta on any fediverse instance, I hope that as a user I will be able to block meta's instance, and wont have to rely on my instance (lemmy.world) to do it
Infinity for reddit user here, as much as I love the app, and the work the developer has done on it, and even though the app will continue on a subscription based model, I have had it with reddit, full fediverse citizen from now on
I also really like the proton VPN apps, on other platform though, I have a laptop with linux mint on it, and I just use the browser addons because the desktop app itself deploys a kill switch and doesnt let me use the internet at all until I kill it in the terminal
Brooklyn 99 and ac valhalla, seems... unusually interesting 😂
Oh you sweet summer western child, you actually think that this kind of dystopian communist society can actually exist 😂😂😂
China are ABSOLUTLEY communists, just the smarter type
I dont care where are they going, im joining them
Is there a way to block meta in lemmy? Im in the lemmy.world instance, or is it up to the developers and maintainers of each lemmy instance?

The last thing we need is meta clawing their way around the fediverse, id rather have them stick to their own bullshit

Meta not trying something is extremley unlikely, they live to monotize everything they touch, which I bet will include the fediverse.
In this "off the records" meeting they wanted to discuss monetization strategies with the mastodon and lemmy instances admins they invited
You can interact with mastodon from lemmy, it depends on the instance if im not mistaken
I use thunder and liftoff
That's great news!
