IIRC they’re a totally private company and in one interview about the graphics card exit it honestly sounds like the founders/owners would rather go out of business than tarnish their reputation even by selling to someone else. So yeah it’s possible they’re just winding the whole thing down.
If this is available it definitely needs to be an option, and I think it probably needs to not be the default. I know I like to know which instances I’m interacting with, and I think it makes sense because that’s part of the point of the Fediverse.
extreme far right buffoonery
Like the title said, it basically started off with Nazism. No devolution of discussion required.
There are screenshots of the mod log showing the “Moderator Code of Conduct” admin account going in and reverting the NSFW settings on multiple subs.

You can already use Revanced to strip the ads and suggestions out of the official app. It still sucks shit compared to most every 3rd party app.
Ultimately they’ll spin it as this guy being framed, etc and his only chance of staying alive being fleeing to a non-extradition country. They were already implying he was disappeared, so that’s not a stretch.
