I think it’s pretty safe to say that the majority of us are here to avoid another corporate takeover of our preferred platforms. It would seem to me to be a tad irresponsible to allow Facebook into our space with open arms, allowing them to hoover up our data. I would love to keep using Lemmy.world, but will happily change instances if need be, and I feel many share that sentiment.

    For me it’s the other way around. Lemmy.world blocking threads for exactly no reason except to make a circlejerk happy is a reason for me leave Lemmy altogether, not just this instance. So far yall just show me that here only the “I want to special” crowd exists. Doesn’t even matter which instance.

        at this point I can only assume that people who have a problem with defederating from Meta are either Meta trolls or lack the cognitive abilities to participate in the fediverse and we’ll have to live without their participation.

          Anyone who disagrees with me is an idiot and I can be rude to them and ignore them

          Do you always assume other people’s opinions are completely invalid after you’ve dug your feet in?

        Exactly, EEE is a big part of what convinced me. It’s not about a circle jerk or excluding anyone, and I welcome threads users to make accounts and create instances here.
