Because it’s a non-issue since you can create a new account inside the blocked instance if you really have to check some community in there, the defederation can be rolled back and there are multiple similar communities through the different instances (or someone could start their own), so losing one of many doesn’t have the same impact as losing the only one.
Users are free to download Threads and go lick zucc’s balls if they so desire, instances are just protecting themselves and the responsability that comes with it.
It’s getting tired reading so many zucc apologist, I swear they are bots or accounts created for that purpose
Not sure now, but at the time they had 4 moderators for the whole instance, this while the big Reddit migration was happening so it was a bomb waiting to blowup, also they’ve stated before that they want/plan to make it a safespace so they are not exactly made for federation since they’ll have to end up blocking a lot of instances to achieve that.
All of this.
A friend of mine always tells me this is what keeps them from really enjoying it and I agree, the topics have a very “elitist” feeling, almost like if anything mundane just might be ignored or shunned.
Also if instance A goes down you still have instance B.
It’s not that the current administration “can’t” (altough they have proven time and again that they seem to can’t), it’s they don’t want nor care about it, it’s the final year before elections, it’s the time to steal as much as possible and the president only cares about that and talking shit about his opponents… think something like Trump.
They still don’t sell it at my country

Nah, the iphone is also overhypped and overpriced
True, the rest of the point stands and there’s a worrying slow reaction against communities/instances that are actually dangerous
I already blocked the bot, it’s so much spam of so many themes it drowns everything else
If emulation would shift to AMD it would be a huge push, at least it’s what keeps me with Nvidia since most emulators run a lot better or they are faster to support those cards.
Did you know that’s how r/thedonald actually started? It was meant to be satire but it attracted those who were serious and look at what happebed.
The software is open-source, you or anyone who knows the language could fork it and work on it, hopefully someone less problematic.
Yet people are going to keep using it and sharing it as it that’s acceptable
I remember some news about he getting too buddy-buddy with Facebook, it wouldn’t surprise me at all.
This post could have been a message to the admins. Just contact them, ask if you could have a community for the kind of art you sell and how you plan to keep it from being/becoming too spammy with the links.
Having to do so much research just to join an instance is one of the biggest problems of the fediverse.
I can see why they need to do it, they apparently only have 4 main mods for the entire server
Why would they think that would be enough to withstand the waves from reddit? That was just a disaster waiting to happen.
And it’s still hard to call it a gift, it’s more of an imposition.
