And of course .world is doing exactly what I expected it to do: it's going along with Threads integration.
And judging from how it's been set up and run to function almost exactly like old Reddit, with corporate censoring, PR-style talk from admins, blatant refusal to address and fix serious problems, and monopolizing Lemmy by herding everyone else under its umbrella instead of letting people migrate to niche servers which was the intent of the fediverse in the first place, it stands to reason the .world admins are either working directly for Threads or being paid off by Meta to do this.
It's time for everyone to just leave and go back to making their own websites again.
