https://lemmy.ml They defederated from Threads, as everyone should do. I was there to see how Google fucked up XMPP via EEE when they joined that federation. Meta is doing the same.

I moved to lemmy.ml from lemmy.world when lemmy.world didn't act on this. There's no room for corporations in the fediverse.

Fuck Lemmygrad, loud authoritarians. There's no room for dictators on the fediverse.

That's lemmygrad.ml, not lemmy.ml. Don't confuse things.

Also, I would take an alive fediverse and some communities I can ignore and not subscribe to than a dead fediverse in the hands of the corporations. See what Google did to XMPP. See reddit. See twitter. See threads..

Edit: this is an incredibly good read https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

Thanks for sharing this, I wasn’t aware of this yet

Does anyone know how to block instances from showing up in your feed? The lemmygrad stuff is one of the instances I’d love to not see.

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

You can't block instances, only admins can do that
