    Yeah, it’s kinda expected from lemmy.ml to do that. The only other instances I expected to act right away are lemmygrad and hexbear. But lemm.ee? Caught me by surprise, lol!

      Supporting lemm.ee’s decision. Big companies rarely do good when invited into independent spaces.

        I missed this part, and I was wrong in calling it a “vote”:

        … Facebook has a built-in financial incentive to break our rules. ActivityPub has no protections against advertising, so it’s likely we will end up having to eventually defederate from Threads just for this reason alone.

        ‌ … While personally I feel that any theoretical pros are by far outweighed by cons, I do want to use this opportunity to see how much of the community disagrees with me. I am not intending to run this instance as a democracy (sorry if anybody is disappointed by that), but I would still like to have a clear picture of user feedback for potentially major decisions such as this one.

        But yeah, I support lemm.ee’s decision as well.

          I am not intending to run this instance as a democracy.

          Points for honesty though. Glad I have a .ee account. .world is sorta “on the way but not quite yet there” fucked.
