Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! βοΈ
An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! π΅π
Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

I am not sure if I should be doing this, but hell....
For the handful of us who've moved (temporarily or otherwise) to lemm.ee, there's currently a consultation going on about defederation from Meta's Threads. Upvoting the post means you're in favor of defederation.
EDIT:
I was wrong in calling that thread a vote. Changed "there's currently a vote going on about defederation..." to "there's currently about a consultation going on about defederation". At any rate, it's not a vote.
Lemmy ML just put the hammer down and said kthxbye to threads link
Yeah, it's kinda expected from lemmy.ml to do that. The only other instances I expected to act right away are lemmygrad and hexbear. But lemm.ee? Caught me by surprise, lol!
Supporting lemm.ee's decision. Big companies rarely do good when invited into independent spaces.
I missed this part, and I was wrong in calling it a "vote":
But yeah, I support lemm.ee's decision as well.
Points for honesty though. Glad I have a .ee account. .world is sorta "on the way but not quite yet there" fucked.
already upvoted because meta can stay where it is, it doesn't need to mix with my lemmy instance
I really hope lemmy.world follows suit, but given the statement lemmy.world admins made, it's still up in the air, if ever.
Question is, what exactly constitutes as "see" in their wait-and-see approach? By the time you realize anything nefarious, it's already too late.
I still stand by what I said yesterday about how Lemmy.world's stance is a lot better than Mastodon.social's stance. However, it's kind of a "at least they're not blatantly singing the praises of Meta joining the Fediverse," which is not a terribly high bar to clear. Also, that at the very least they paid a lip service to "defederation when needed."
But when it really counts? I am not terribly sure Lemmy.world will actually do anything (hence, me tacking that 'if ever" part in the end). And as you've rightfully pointed out--even if they do something, it might already be too late.
