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.

I’m not anti-FOSS but I do believe there’s a place for both it and paid/closed-source software to coexist. I don’t think proprietary software is inherently evil and am fine paying for it if I get a corresponding amount of value from its use.
