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.

Did you even read my comment? What do you say about the issue of harmful federation network effects or corporations' incentives to embrace, extend, and extinguish?

People are just too stubborn to even think about switching services. We need to keep this bar very much low, so it is easier for them.

Lemmy is not a corporation, it is an open source decentralized platform. There is no inherent reason for the platform to try and get as many users as quickly as possible. And if we did federate with meta, that would only hurt the prospects of getting new users because users on meta who like the idea of federation wouldn't feel the need to make a new account because they'd already have access to the fediverse through meta's servers...
