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.

This is the kind of thing that made me choose this instance in the first place. Thanks for making my online social place of choice feel safe.
I'm still grasping the concept of the fediverse, but what is the perk to this? The Facebook mafia can't comment and join communities on lemmy.ml? But they could on say lemmy.world?
That's correct. And you as a user of lemmy.ml, when you set your feed to 'ALL' it won't show posts or communities from those instances. But if your account is on lemmy.world, you would see them. You can also personally block any community you want. I don't think you can block certain instances on a personal level, could be wrong though.
You cannot block whole instances as a user as of now. It might be a feature in the future. If someone wants that, they can go have a look at Lemmy's GitHub and open an issue for adding this feature in case such an issue does not already exist.
