The constant-threats-to-defederate thing is going to kill this place, seriously.
Defederating an instance is an extreme measure and it should only be taken in extreme circumstances.
Finding out I might stop getting posts from people I explicitly follow because they happen to be on an instance being defederated by mine all because a bunch of admins I don't know got in a spat over a user I don't follow is just about the most annoying value proposition imaginable.
Mastodon's Mastodon'ts.
There are a few fundamentally broken things about how Mastodon posts work that are terrible vectors for abuse, as well as being bad for basic usability. Maybe they are fixable, I don't know. To be clear: I am a fan of Mastodon....

wondering what is it that made jwz's blog break under mastodon link preview load yet lesbiaboard works with it fine (and yes every link preview hit shows as a guest viewing the forum)

i think this album is still good https://syniphas.bandcamp.com/album/the-space-adventures-of-general-mibi #bandcampfriday
i'd love to have a job but since i legally have to answer "yes" to "will you now or in the future require visa sponsorship to work in the uk" or "no" to "are you legally allowed to work in the uk" depending on which flavor of awful the company's application sheet decided to be written in this week none of my applications ever make it out of the rubbish bin
i really need stable income but since jobs aren't real anymore i'm taking any help i can get. i have a ko-fi you can send money to and there's even some pins left to buy there. i have a patreon where i don't have any rewards because i couldn't think of any and nobody has suggested any yet. you can also get a pixel portrait for a very reasonable price. or you can tell your employer about me
I co-wrote a cookbook for depressed people and other folks with zero spoons, only knives. It's not meant to be gourmet cooking so much as a survival guide for late stage capitalism. And you can get it for free!
