      Gate keeping time, this is one of few situations where gate keeping is good

      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.

      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.

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

    So anyone with a meta account could post ads that float through to here?

      As long as meta isn’t instantly defederated, and as such I guess I should switch to an instance that will defederate simply to keep ads away.

      My home instance is taking a wait and see approach. If we get a bunch of ads or hate speech then they’re out.

    I think Cottle means all the engineers at Meta have good intentions and I believe him. Its not the engineers whom I doubt its the managers, MBAs and CEOs I don’t trust.

        A little while ago a bunch of instances all decided not to federate with threads, lemmy.world said they would, a bunch of people got upset.
