We would also accept “Reject all”

Because the way Threads works is almost seamlessly allowing existing Instagram users to create a Threads account. There is no corollary for Masto or Lemmy or any Fed entities to do something similar.

It’s corporate synergy, baby.

It really depends. If you’re in a smaller instance and you look at the global view, you’re going to see more of Mr. 16.5% than one of the smaller ones.

Though I suspect usage patterns and the way users interact with instances beyond theirs will play a role. But, in an immediate sense, I could see larger instances having a bigger voice (so to speak).

And now I’ll waffle and say it’s all a crapshoot because people are unpredictable and social media platforms even more so.

3067 is a lot of ways to slice half a pie. I’d consider even 16.5% (or whatever the top dog of that 3 with 50% has) to be domination.

Exactly.

So you find an instance you love, with a federation philosophy you agree with, and build up a brand (for lack of a better word) there.

What happens when that philosophy either changes or allows the instance to become something different than what originally appealed to you? Do you suck it up and stay or try to create a new presence elsewhere with minimal damage?

Yeah. And I find myself vacillating between agreeing with and disagreeing with the idea of defederation or partial defederation.

I think it requires enlightened admins to walk the line, which is a challenge. Not knocking the folks that run their respective instances, but they are humans who have their own motivations.

Nothing would piss me off more than getting banned from a sub I never had any intention of visitng much less engaging in because I commented on a post from one of their disliked subs.

The curse of spending too much time in r/All.

You probably got banned because you referred to it as being from “The Office”, when it’s originally from “SNL”

No. You are, and it’s well-taken! I kept getting a getting network error message and assumed it was not going through. I (thought I) verified that it didn’t go through. And attempted to submit again. Wondering if they got queued and then submitted when the issue resolved.

Is your sorting the same for both (new, hot, top [day, week, month])?

As always, the best info is in the comments

Free State of Florida, my ass.

The swamp is starting to look awfully swampy.

Is this the “find out” part?

I think this is the “find out” part.
