    Dude. The person running it already gave a long post about their stance on this matter. Chill out and don’t jump the gun. They are volunteers, not corpos.

      For some reason, there are handful of tinfoil-hatters in this specific community who have been convinced that lemmy.world admins went to a clandestine meeting with Meta where bags of gold and hookers were handed out in exchange for selling out to Threads.

      I’d just like point out the following comments to any of them who happen to be reading this, including OP:

      Ruud answered your inane accusations, now please STFU.

    If you have a dispute you’re trying to expose to the public, please don’t just post a freakin’ JPEG. Make your claims and argument in plain text.

    I don’t like the idea of .world federating with Threads. I want no part of anything Meta related intruding into this space for various reasons.

    However, the decision to rests with each instance owner and them alone. The admin of .world has elected to adopt a wait and see approach. I think that’s a mistake but it is their decision.

    What you’re asking is absolutely none of your business, nor mine. .world has provided, in the very blog post you provided a (totally superfluous) screenie of outlined the finances for June for .world - something I don’t believe they’re required to do but did anyway.

    You either accept these things or you move on to another instance. Descending into a fairly squalid gaucherie and requesting information that is none of your business is beyond the limits of reasonable expectation. This is not Musk or Zuckerberg or Bezos or Branson or some other mega-rich oxygen thief, this is an ordinary person like you and I, providing a free of charge service with no privacy invading scripts, no ads, no mental health destroying algo or similar activities. Whilst I believe a wait and see approach is flawed when it comes to Meta, due to what they are, I don’t extend that same approach to individual people who as far as I know have done nothing whatsoever to earn distrust. Even if they attended the NDA controlled meeting with Meta that is still no evidence of bad faith. To be honest, I probably would’ve done the same if only because I would be intensely curious as to what they had to say.

    Dial this back a bit, please. You’re in no position to request such information and to do so is pretty classless.
