oh and every external link opens in Chrome, not your default browser
taking notes from MS, are we Google?
Reminder re: Bad instances
So far, the hamfisted attempts at commercialisation of the Fediverse have been ridiculous/mock-able, probably in violation of the AGPL and they just didn't get momentum
But when a slick, user-friendly instance with proprietary code and targeted ads comes along with the backing of Google or whatever, ready to "embrace" the Fediverse (coming soon: "extend" and "extinguish"), we might not have much time to mash the "block" button before it's too late
Reminder re: Bad instances
If you are an instance admin, you NEED to block instances, and do so EARLY when they are being run by people who are acting in bad faith
* Hiveway was very stoppable because they didn't have a critical mass of users for whom it would be seen as "unfair" to block them for their admins' bad behaviour
* Bofa was a lot harder to stop because there was like a million hand-wringing about how many users they had, and how it's "not their fault"
Block bad instances EARLY
