Final post: Ah fuck it, I made it all up. Lemmy.world is a good instance you folks have nothing to worry about here. I doubt they took that meeting, I’m out.

Go ahead, ask the admins, surely they’ll tell you they did not take the meeting.

Yeah so what? Its not like either of you signed up here.

Maybe that’s why they won’t comment on the issue.

I don’t know what they signed.

I know at least one attended, personally I expect multiple, but I know at least one.

I’ll respond to comments on this thread, and no matter what, I’m done using lemmy.world after this.

I will not ask my fellow lemmy community members to blindly trust me on this.

I also will not expose my sources.

I thought it would take a long time for me to be sure enough to make this post. But I’m making it less than three weeks after joining lemmy.

If you want, you can take a wait and see approach.

I never wanted to admin an instance, I don’t think I have time for it, but I have enough to convince me that I should.

I don’t expect blind trust from you guys, because youve proven to be intelligent and diligent in my time here. But for the love of Foss and open, distributed platforms and what WE believe that means, please use your judgment when considering your home instance for lemmy.

I am almost certain lemmy.world admins will ignore this claim.

[we are doing it for the] “integrity of information and resources connected to the Clemson network”.

They’re not doing it to censor or discourage use. They’re doing it because they don’t want the software running on their network alongside their network resources.

You can still use tiktok, just not while connected to their network infrastructure.

✅️ is a shopping platform

✅️ has an app ecosystem with a billing api

✅️ high probability that someone who shops online has interacted with a store on the platform

✅️ multiple rounds of layoffs w/ staff stretched thin

✅️ unclear ambitions of being a megaplatform, beyond what it already is

I guess we’ll never know, lol

You’re welcome!

A lemme.world Admin account got hacked, could be that the instance got hacked too, but not sure this is developing afaik

I believe refederation is as simple as defederation. It’s a reversible setting.

I think a follow up question would be, would platforms who are defederated by your instance retaliate by defeterating their instance from yours? If so, would they be so willing to refederate as you are, when that time comes? Or will they hold a grudge.

If anyone’s wondering, I’m on the fence but leaning toward defederation. Meta is a scourge.

Edit: also looking to find a new home instance, I don’t like or appreciate the lemmy.world admin’s silence on the matter and feel like they attended that “off the record” p92/threads meeting with Meta and are playing ball. I have nothing to back it up, but what more would compel such silence? If you’re not sure, just say that. The lemmy community seems to appreciate transparency, and I know for certain that I do too.

Wonder if they were invited to metas p92 meeting for “off the record conversation” and obliged
