      I‘m pretty sure Lemmy lets you block instances just like Mastodon. In that case, if your instance decides to federate with them, you can just block that instance.

        I’ll move to an instance that aligns with my views instead…who’s to say that there won’t be some weird as backdoor deals with the instance owner and fuckerburg. Money makes people do bad bad things.

          While I get the sentiment, your posts are public anyway, so they’re just a tiny step away from being scraped by Meta. Technically, they wouldn’t need to bother with federation for just profiling you or training their AI on your or anyone’s posts. Although, Meta will sure as hell find a way to blacken the pages - one way or any other.

      If the rest of the instances let them, then yes, but if none of the instances do, then no.

      Yups. Lemmy.world is the biggest instance that hasn’t pre-emptively defederated from Threads. That’s problematic, because it’s also the biggest content provider for Lemmy. Ruud & Co are really dropping the ball here.
