So it really has come to blatant "fuck you we're not pretending to play by any rules of courtesy and custom anymore", and yet it goes on largely unopposed.
Decorum is dead, by most reports I see the left outnumber the right by a sizable margin, stop playing nice.
Like any other account you occasionally need to update software and settings for. Then again I'm guessing you meant someone running an instance with more than just themselves using it.
Staying an order pending judicial review isn't uncommon, particularly if it's on matters far beyond the influence of that court.
That said, it's not like this admin cares what any court says anyhow. The scotus could say in plain as day language 'no you for sure can not do that' and it'd get brushed off as irrelevant somehow.
Articles from 2022 citing 'if Roe is overturned' are a bit past their expiration date.
No you see food guy Russia totally volunteered not to do any other than the 800+ that the east was responsible for. Bad Murica!

How dare you imply my ego is fragile?! Don't question me!
Not sure I dig baking it into the code, that starts walking into the broken by design space. Feasibly the tankies developing Lemmy could do the same to any instance not painted the right shade of red.
I might propose instead a step in setup, or on demand, to select major instances to allow/deny federation from with a description of them. Impossible to keep a list of every new instance up to date, but catching the major hubs shouldn't be impossible.
Edit: For all those who replied along the lines of it being optional not a hard coded block, point noted. I should expect no less misleading a post from a pool of people prone to leaving out vital facts.
My understanding as it being an opt-out default defederation is still a bit grating since I tend to think of software as a neutral tool rather than promoting specific ideals, but it's far better than a fixed in state and does serve some purpose to shield new users from some of the most egregiously bad actors.
Oh, you don't"t like it when people play your game? I have this vision of him as a little kid, do it little Donnie, rage quit the game...
Hard to say, things like Nextcloud, Immich, Emby, and Mealie probably get the most exercise, but being a tech person some of the more interesting are things like Security Onion and some of the infrastructure tools.
Yeah, though with things like the fediverse, generations that where born into the tech world (internet only really started to be a thing around high school for me, but my kids have never used dial up) and small cheap systems like raspberry pi I expect it'll get much easier and hopefully more common.
Self host ALL the things. I know where all my pics and docs reside right here in my house.
It happens, the 'did I miss a cue' can be brutal if it keeps replaying. Only real answer I know is being content with your own self and if someone also happens to fall into that same space all the better. People get so inundated with images of what's 'possible' which a good chunk of it's enhanced with selective posting and filters, so we get some unrealistic view of what a normal happy life is supposed to be.
As for the sending pics, shitty people aren't worth the brain space to stress over, you dodged a bullet there.
