No fences up my ass here, I didn't jump so quickly to lemmy to be immediately joined to fucken Facebook. Like. At all. I'd bet a quick poll would speak loudly

Fuck Facebook, and fuck anyone that argues on their behalf.

I'm using Connect for Lemmy. And it has a function to add a tag or flare.

I'm tagging people who shill for meta, so that they will be forever recognized by the app as a meta cock sucker.

I hate to say this opinion would be minority even on Lemmy. People value convenience over anything else

I dont think you've taken into account what people in lemmy value the most.

Their principles. They mostly joined lemmy because one of their principle is against big corp controlling us for their own purpose.

That's why threads is being blocked preemptively. Because they are corpo. Now compare that to exploding heads instance. The slowness of blocking another instance because of hate speech and bigotry. It's because exploding heads issue does not or barely touched most lemmy peoples principle trigger. They allowed it to exist first for a long time before even considering of blocking it

for real, i'm not here because of convenience. it's pretty inconvenient, actually.

i willingly give enough away to corporate overlords as it is... this is one of the occasions where i choose to not... despite the inconvenience.

Defeding breaks Fediverse principles. People who want to defed meta don't belong here.

I tagged you as "meta shill". Now whenever I see your post I'll know you work for meta.

Thanks for revealing yourself.

even Lemmy
