A secret program called "Project Ghostbusters" saw Facebook devise a way to intercept and decrypt the encrypted network traffic of Snapchat users to study their behavior.
They could and anyone things that they’re not already doing that is high. But thats not the concern of the fedipact. We just dont want them here as in their posts, their culture and their behavior.
Which is batty. I want lemmy to grow, to have niche communities open up etc. Gatekeeping people because “we don’t take kindly to your type” is plain stupid.
We’ve already had this debate and we don’t care that you don’t like it. If you want to be on Threads, go be on fucking Threads. Not all of us want Lemmy to grow at all.
Why would you not want it to grow. I would have never cared about my online privacy if I didn’t stumble upon a Lemmy thread on reddit and join. I would have never ditched windows for Linux without Lemmy. I would not have done a lot of things without Lemmy. Saying you don’t want it to grow is dumb if something does not grow it will die. If you don’t want to see there content then block them. You should not be able to decide what others see.
That and there is organic growth and a 100x entity entering your space and calling it „growth“. Its delusional. Its literally the gauls and the romans.
The company that has been complicit with multiple ethnic cleansing campaigns, election manipulation schemes, and attempted to suppress their own research showing that their platform harms children? Yeah. They’re pretty ethically bankrupt and anyone with something resembling scruples should want nothing to do with them. The users are welcome to join an existing instance or create their own. The company needs to be blocked.
They could be “snooping” on the fediverse anyway by starting an instance and federating.

Sounds like Lemmy did just just fine at the size it already is.

Well, not literally the Gauls and the Romans… 🗡️ 🗡️
Zuck thinks of himself as a Caesar so…
Whatever „batty“ means.
Your argument is falsely equating our „we dont accept authoritarian systems here“ to „we dont accept people“ which is thinly veiled gaslighting.
No, the issue is “we don’t accept people from facebook”. It doesn’t matter what their opinion is - facebook bad.

You‘re doing it again. Please stop putting words in my mouth.
We dont accept facebook here, period.
Which is the exact same thing I said - you don’t care about the people, you just go “facebook bad” and ban it
