Oh I didn't even realize it worked that way. I think that's kinda nice though, so you don't get partial conversations. It is a really bad thing though if there's a toxic instance that continues to harass you, so it should probably change for that reason alone. I wonder if they can still see your posts if you've blocked their instance?

Time to celebrate by blocking hexbear!

The average smash bros player. I'm one of them lol. At least going to local fighting game tournies are hella fun. I got bodied really hard at a tournament we had at a bar and it was still super fun, entrance pool feed is usually like $5 or less and they're pretty chill.

You directly told me to spin up my own server if I don't like it lol, I didn't tell anyone to do anything. Sharing an opinion isn't the same thing as telling people what to do.

If you've seen the just chatting category, this is nothing new. People have been skirting ToS since the beginning. That's why there's an option to allow mature audiences or not, although it could be a lot more granular since mature language is basically on the same maturity as full blown nudity according to the option.

Being in control of who sees my post. Lemmy still lacks more granular post visibility like Mastodon does. If I restrict a message to followers on Mastodon, I know just they would see it, and so would their current instances which are much smaller and fragmented. Compared that to any social media where that's going to easily be tracked on both sides. Federating with threads doesn't change this. Also as you said, lack of analytics is nice. Privacy could definitely be improved though. Mastodon direct messaging is still weird and really should use e2ee.

Why do you hate user choice so much?

Sick, I get tons of more interesting content while being with a Mastodon instance I trust, a nice FOSS client to explore the content, and keep my privacy! If this actually bothered me, I could simply click the three dots and block the instance, so surely that shouldn't be a big deal, right?

You guys frontin like we haven't all done that as well
