Lemmy.ml has now blocked threads.net / Meta (lemmy.ml)

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.

Seriously, I don't want to have to pull up the tent stakes already.

I would like to put my 2c here. Fediverse, defederated and self-hostable platforms give you the opportunity to not be closed within a walled garden. I would say that people on the fediverse should be more flexible and be ready to change an instance, or self-host themselves if that is their thing, in case something goes wrong. You must remember that it is you now who decides where to build the tent. I think of it as a summer camping holiday: You go to a camp, stay there for a few days, but when it starts to rain in the area, becomes boring, or a group of noisy campers comes in, you relocate to another camp, if you cannot do anything about the problem in your current camp.

So, I would say you as a fediverse user should be prepared to rebuild your tent repeatedly, even if you stay on a single instance for a long time.
