I spent ~2 seconds looking for a post on this topic, and didn’t see one, so if I missed it, that’s on me.

A lot of people seem to be up in arms about Meta moving into the fediverse via a rumored twitter competitor called “Project 92”. Obviously, this is more of a problem for mastodon than Lemmy, but since everything is connected here, it seems worth addressing.

So what is the FMHY position on this whole thing?

    My take is that they we shouldn’t allow them to get close to the fediverse because there’s no way that they are doing this for good of the users. I will go as far as saying that we shouldn’t federate with them. I’m probably a minority with that take.

      I might not even be from this instance, but I do agree that this probably will just bring spam to Lemmy and that federating with them would probably be detrimental.

        If nothing else, I tend to agree with one of the arguments that an instance made recently: “meta federating will bring in billions of users and we will not be able to moderate it when it touches our instance”
