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.
We want new users, but not any random users at any costs.
I’d rather see the community growing slowly but organically than adding a bunch of random people with a toxic Instagram logic.
We don’t have to be 10s of millions to enjoy it here either.
