MODERATORS
I don't think you'll see many lemmmy instances on the list, since it's going to be viewed primarily as a microblogging issue.
But folks using Fediverse microblogging platforms can still read Lemmy posts and comments. Meta can still pull content for whatever it is they want to do, and a large number of poorly moderated users can still find Lemmy communities. So it should still be on people's minds.
lemmy.ml isn't on there either. 😬
I think this has happened almost entirely on Mastodon, let's wait a couple of days
Here is a list of the Fediverse instances that have agreed to block any meta owned/run instances that may arise
FediDB will be shutting down in July (2023) according to its creator. The list of username's that pledged can be found on fedipact.online
I believe a lot more instances will block Meta once more details come out (I know the instance I'm on is talking).
im ootl, why is project92 a threat? is it federated as well?
I'm out of the loop, what are meta instances?
Meta aka Facebook plans to create a new product compatible with ActivityPub (What allows the feddiverse to federate).
No one wants to allow cancer to spread so this list came to exist.
Meta met privately with stux (runs mstdn.social) and supposedly discussed starting a new federated platform. People are planning to defederate because this gives Meta free reign to inject ads through federation, and are angry that admins/mods are meeting privately with a for profit corporation make decisions within what is an open source community with open source software
