Small businesses can individually refuse to do business with the big shopping mall -> add threads to the block list ('defederate' them)
The big shopping mall is not allowed to put their building at the public square -> threads is not allowed to use ActivityPub
The first statement is totally ok and a lot of instances do this. However, similar like shopping malls it can pose a challenge for small businesses to stay competitive, while categorically refusing business with the big actor. The second statement would require the towns construction committee to not give the shopping mall a license to build. However, this construction committee is a centralised power and not in the design of ActivityPub.
I do not like threads and see them as a potential threat to what we have here. Exactly because it could become harder to stay competitive while refusing them. But i don't see much that we can actively do.

Venice is a hard place. Pretty much every restaurant is a tourist trap. For good food it is better to have different appetizer sized things in bars and trattorias. Didn't find a single sit down classical restaurant with good food for reasonable price.
I know that you are memeing - but some ppl probably don't have the background to see the difference.
A ping does not contain a http header containing a user agent. The response to a ping is not a webpage - and even if it was, your console won't execute the JS.
I said that i found different articles blindly copying. But i did not say 404 did so ;)
I would say the channel has at least cult vibes. "Truth about Wormholes", "meets the Creator", "visits different Realms" and other similar titles.
I did not watch the videos so it would be premature to call it a cult. But their rhetoric would fit a cult. I'd agree though, that the titles are not really abt suicide. So maybe more general cult, than suicide cult?
Surprised noone mentioned NoScript yet. It requires a bit more user interaction. But if you are worried about privacy and maybe security, it is important to know who is running scripts on your machine.
Don't use stupid browsers then ;-)
I wish... Archeology shows, that people have been killing people since before proper tribes where formed. Call me a pessimist, but i don't see a future where we truly learn to life peacefully.
That different instances handle issues differently is inevitable. Just from a legal standpoint they will HAVE to enforce different laws, depending on where they operate from.
However you have a point in the community helping out. I don't know what the application process is, but you might want to look into it. If you can just take over looking into some of these reports, it will help reduce this 3-digit load on admins.
seems like there have been multiple contributors. so many clones of the repo....
