There totally are fascist instances though, and I think defederating from those is cool and good. I'm not thrilled about the beehaw defederation either, but I respect the mods' decision, especially since it's targeted only at the two instances with users who were actually causing problems and I can still access beehaw communities from my non lemmy.world accounts

Yeah, they've been rolling out the worst anti-features to small sets of trial users, that's what's happening with the users blocked from accessing the website on mobile

People always talk about sites blocking ad-blockers, and I'm sure sites are trying to, but I've genuinely never been to a website where ublock origin failed to work. Like, even if there's a big banner over the screen you can't dismiss, just open the ublock zapper tool and block the banner

Tbh lemmy seems more reddity to me. Kbin has the whole microblogging thing too, which differentiates it more imo, tho kbin does seem to be faster and less glitchy (when the servers are up lol)

There's already a pull request to fix this, it's being merged in v18
