So I saw a recent post on lemmy from admins of another instance, forgive me for not remembering which, where they posted a full transparency update on Meta requesting a meeting with the admins of that instance. The admins declined, and then shared the correspondence with their community via screenshots of the original email from meta and their response.
My question is did @ruud@lemmy.world or any other lemmy.world admins get a similar invite, and if so, did you accept/attend?
I’m curious, because as far as I know lemmy.world has not made their stance on defederation from meta/threads very clear, not even to say that they weren’t sure or didn’t have a stance yet.
So, lemmy.world admins, If you did attend this off the record meeting, I’m sure they have some sort of agreement with you that the discussion stays off the record… But could you at least confirm or deny if you were invited to and/or attended such a meeting?
Edit: it was mastodon instance admins for Fosstodon here’s a link: https://fosstodon.org/@kev/110592625692688836 but my question still stands and I think the lemmy.world community deserves an answer.
Why don’t you message him and ask? He’s not going to come in to this thread and answer you. And that’s the nice thing, you just make an account on another instance that you agree with on everything.
I saw other lemmy.world members wondering why they were silent, I would consider this post an open letter and I tagged him to essentially ask him directly.
Is there a reason you thought this post tagging his account wasn’t sufficient and recommend sending a message instead? I could always reconsider my approach. Thanks.
Edit: I’m aware about being able to choose other instances if I dont agree, but that’s the thing… what is there for me to make that determination? Lemmy is popping off with posts about Meta (de)federation, and the biggest lemmy instance has been silent. I’m curious on what their stance may be, and whether or not they obliged a meeting w/ meta.
I just think it’s silly some of the other comments saying “sometimes silence is deafening” “they could reply or choose not to respond” (assuming they even see this and other comments).
But this just feels very witch hunt and feels like a classic reddit-type post. I don’t know how much you truly care about his stance or if you’re just bored on the internet, it just feels like it would be exhausting going around to different figures of services you use to get their stance on things.
