I've gotten so tired of the non-stop reddit/lemmy/mastodon/threads drama I pulled the plug on all recurring donations for the foreseeable future. Thanks to threads the fedverse is starting the reddit style drama cycles and I'm pretty much over trying to sort through it.

I know I can block content, my concern is my refusal to donate to an outfit that supports meta or similar properties.

No post has been made that I know of. Mastodon's CEO laid out his stance in the post below and I would hope Lemmy would follow with them.

Lots of echo chambering going on in here about EEE and Meta profiting off of everything. In reality, they can scrape data like anyone else, the profit from such small communities is negligible, and defederating meta would only hurt those that defederated because way more users than people here think will want to see and manage Threads while also not needing a Threads account to avoid the data hell that it is.

Sure Facebook's parent company Meta can scrape the content already because it's public but without federating their users cant bring in their toxic Instagram mentality into our places.

Lmao at you complaining about toxicity when you're toxically judging and gatekeeping 2 Billion people.
