Every time I see a picture of him I think it has to be edited or something. He’s like a walking Snapchat filter.

MODERATORS
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.
"Hello, fellow humans!"
Does any other human out there love smoked meats ?
The best part about the full smoked meats vid is when his "friends" (i.e. employees) come over. What really gets me is that the friends NEVER speak unless spoken to, because it's just a really awkward work event where Zuck has to pretend he has friends.
It made him look so gosh dang relatable.
No, that's not the word I'm looking for. Unlikeable. That's the one.
This could be the intro to a found footage horror film about a cannibal that smokes his victims.
I don't know about these smoking meats, but I enjoy human activities such as breathing air and walking with my leg.

Bro didn't want a sunburn I guess, lol.
Good god that's terrifying.
HELLO, FELLOW HUMANS
That one definitely is edited lol. Reminds me of the android from that Queen album cover
He likely has a skilled pr team that has crafted his image as unique, brilliant, and even all this alien/ lizard stuff. In general, he is simply a billionaire and for sure not have much in common with working people.
the lizard thing is unfortunately just antisemitism, and older than zucc himself. the whole alien lizard people running the world bit comes from David Icke, who is very much a fascist, and was inspired directly by old school Nazi conspiracy theory texts like the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
YOUR MOVE LEMMY.WORLD
I would like to also add this argument into the discussion, since I've seen a lot of people who are voting for federating with meta, with the argument that defederating just because we don't like someone goes against the idea of Fediverse, and interconnected network of diverse servers that is should inclusive and allows people to connect.
It's quite the contrary - allowing Meta in goes directly against the idea of Fediverse, and we should fight it as much as possible.
This is a literal quote from the main header on https://www.fediverse.to/
The fediverse is a collection of community-owned, ad-free, decentralised, and privacy-centric social networks.
Each fediverse instance is managed by a human admin. You can find fediverse instances dedicated to art, music, technology, culture, or politics.
Join the growing community and experience the web as it was meant to be.
Judging by this main selling point of the Fediverse, it sounds to me like Meta shouldn't be in the Fediverse do begin with, and every instance should defederate from them by default.
Centralisation will always set in due to sheer complacency. I mean it has already happened. The main player in the reddit-like fediverse is lemmy.world
No other instance comes close to the size of lemmy.world
I also disagree with Metas method of tracking and monetising every last bit of data (I'm trying to get rid of their platforms myself) but to expect the fediverse to be a balanced mixture of access points is just daydreaming.
I don't expect it to be balanced. I also don't mind that a lot of users are centralized at lemmy.world - because we know the admins, and there isn't a largescale corporation behind them that would be capable of monetizing and manipulating their userbase. The only kind of balance I want is that there isn't an instance with multi-billion funding and teams of engineers dedicated to squeezing their userbase and monetizing every character they type. Sure, it will inevitably happen that someone from an instance would try something like this, but that's an acceptable risk with community-run stuff and may or may not happen - and it probably won't be as succesfull or large-scale. However, if you let in someone you are certain will do something like that, and has unimaginable amount of resources and manpower to do it, then they will just squeeze it dry while not shying away from exploiting every single privacy mistake there is in the protocol or our implementation.
Thanks for saving us lemmy.ml Admins.
o7. We're out here for yall, and we're gonna make sure the fediverse stays inoculated from threats.
So... you're not gonna try Threads then???
I love this. Source ?
This!
Amen! I made a longer post explaining my reasoning for blocking Threads and the decision took only 15 minutes.
Congrats on being based as well! I'm not on your server, but thanks for looking out for your users.
A welcome move. F**k megacorps polluting everything on internet.
Joined a few Lemmy instances, but the admin team taking actions like these might make lemmy.ml my main place to go. Anything corporate is irredeemable.
the lemmy.ml admin team took about 2 minutes to decide to preemptively block threats / Meta
The only sane approach to this "dilemma". Thank you for keeping the instance free of "threats" (I see what you did there)
It's quite the dilemmy
Excellent. Big corporations go against the very idea of the fediverse.
People left reddit because of corporate f*ckery, and some of them are now making excuses for meta?? What kind of mental gymnastics is this?
Thank you Lemmy.ml Meta can F off.
Lemmy developers, thank you!
Good riddance
I hope Lemmy.world does the same.

Its Nice to hear
preemptively blocking an instance just because it’s owned by meta and not due to bad conduct is cringe as fuck
In what universe are you living in that meta does not have a history chock full of bad conduct?! Frog, meet scorpion.
Oh, and stop misusing "cringe" while you're at it.
