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.

    Exterminate / Extinguish - once they have good amount of users, they can start crippling the other side

    That’s users’ fault. I don’t want to disrespect anybody, that’s not my intention, but if users are stupid enough to listen to the songs of the Sirens, that’s not Sirens’ fault, but users’ fault.

    You say that defederating is the only way to prevent EEE. But defederating doesn’t prevent people to move to Threads, doesn’t prevent people to listen to the songs of the Sirens. It only prevents people to see the Sirens.

      Is it really? If I start selling you vitamin pills and you suddenly get addicted because the secret ingredient is diacetylmorphine, is it then your fault because you took the pills in good faith that they would be good for you?

        It should be my fault, yes. Instead of going to a pharmacy, I prefer to buy random stuff from a random stranger.

          In this case meta is the pharmacy I would argue and random lemmy instances are random strangers.
