And it’s still hard to call it a gift, it’s more of an imposition.

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.
Also if instance A goes down you still have instance B.
Nah, the iphone is also overhypped and overpriced
Honestly I don’t care about stories, but I hope that encourages my friends to pay attention to it.
I already blocked the bot, it’s so much spam of so many themes it drowns everything else
You said it yourself, what most people want (and seem to think this is) is a forum, not a fediverse. Imo a lot of the users who feel a strong need to control everything for everyone will end up leaving, since this is closer to what reddit used to be (you went to r/all and it showed ALL, not the watered down version that they forced for advertising reasons) and we all know it’s not for everyone.
It isn’t about keeping it alive or improving the game, it’s about milking the idiots who keep shelling out money and defending battlepasses + mtx, once the money runs out they’ll just kill it and move on.
I’m using Stylus for Firefox and it works so far
Also the first barrier of picking a server (how it works, the rules of every instance, checking who they federate with) and an app (the will to test multiple apps, learning that to login you have to input the server url manually since most aren’t listed in the apps), to the people who read all the things it’s tedious but doable, for the rest it’s “Which one is the RIGHT choice?” and just stay at the door.
Also servers with poorly written rules don’t help (example: mstdn.mx says porn and politics are forbidden, but in reality they allow them as long as you tag then properly).
These kind of posts don’t help either, because it makes people feel like they are too stupid to join and rather stick to the known services, but omit all the actual process that someone has to go through.
