MODERATORS
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.

The reason we lost Apollo and others is exactly what I meant by "corporate fuckery". I respect that you see "anti-capitalist and FOSS-worshipping sentiments" off-putting, they're definitely pervasive in the community, and I personally vibe with that. because it's all cause-and-effect. What happened with Reddit isn't one company being shitty to their userbase while seeking profit. It's a pattern. That's the system working correctly. The "anti-capitalist and FOSS-worshipping sentiments" are coming from people seeing that and taking a stance. Is reddit taking a stance against their users? Fine, we're gonna make our own reddit with blackjack et cetera and so on.
