Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️

An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! 🇵🇭

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":

... Facebook has a built-in financial incentive to break our rules. ActivityPub has no protections against advertising, so it’s likely we will end up having to eventually defederate from Threads just for this reason alone.

‌ ... While personally I feel that any theoretical pros are by far outweighed by cons, I do want to use this opportunity to see how much of the community disagrees with me. I am not intending to run this instance as a democracy (sorry if anybody is disappointed by that), but I would still like to have a clear picture of user feedback for potentially major decisions such as this one.

But yeah, I support lemm.ee's decision as well.

I am not intending to run this instance as a democracy.

Points for honesty though. Glad I have a .ee account. .world is sorta "on the way but not quite yet there" fucked.
