Final post: Ah fuck it, I made it all up. Lemmy.world is a good instance you folks have nothing to worry about here. I doubt they took that meeting, I’m out.

Go ahead, ask the admins, surely they’ll tell you they did not take the meeting.

Yeah so what? Its not like either of you signed up here.

Maybe that’s why they won’t comment on the issue.

I don’t know what they signed.

I know at least one attended, personally I expect multiple, but I know at least one.

I’ll respond to comments on this thread, and no matter what, I’m done using lemmy.world after this.

I will not ask my fellow lemmy community members to blindly trust me on this.

I also will not expose my sources.

I thought it would take a long time for me to be sure enough to make this post. But I’m making it less than three weeks after joining lemmy.

If you want, you can take a wait and see approach.

I never wanted to admin an instance, I don’t think I have time for it, but I have enough to convince me that I should.

I don’t expect blind trust from you guys, because youve proven to be intelligent and diligent in my time here. But for the love of Foss and open, distributed platforms and what WE believe that means, please use your judgment when considering your home instance for lemmy.

I am almost certain lemmy.world admins will ignore this claim.

[we are doing it for the] “integrity of information and resources connected to the Clemson network”.

They’re not doing it to censor or discourage use. They’re doing it because they don’t want the software running on their network alongside their network resources.

You can still use tiktok, just not while connected to their network infrastructure.

✅️ is a shopping platform

✅️ has an app ecosystem with a billing api

✅️ high probability that someone who shops online has interacted with a store on the platform

✅️ multiple rounds of layoffs w/ staff stretched thin

✅️ unclear ambitions of being a megaplatform, beyond what it already is

I guess we’ll never know, lol

I know I’m not supposed to laugh but that’s hilarious

Curious to know if it was enabled for the admin account in question.

You’re welcome!

A lemme.world Admin account got hacked, could be that the instance got hacked too, but not sure this is developing afaik
