I wouldn't say no doubt. Some certainly would do that, others could have more integrity.

In the meantime there are some apps that "block" instances. Connect has it, but it doesn't fully block the instance, more like it shows up in the feed with a content warning that the message is from a blocked instance and you can choose to view it if you want. I also do think lemm.ee will defederate from hexbear pretty soon. The admin has had personally horrendous experiences with their users and that meta thread about it was a dumpster fire of hexbear users making unrelated political comments and blocking the actual instance users from having a discussion. It got locked at almost 2000 comments so I'm sure he's still digging through that toxic waste to make his decision.
The standard web UI also needs major improvements. Nobody logs in through an app for their first time and first impressions are critical. It needs to be easier to navigate and use without downloading an app so people will stick around long enough to get involved and have a good time.
I thought it was hilarious and works with their dishonor but I also wouldn't have loved if they had been head banging to metal or going to town on some Klingon opera.
Well gee whiz, I have this little doggy avatar picture thing that I got... somehow? I assume that's what you mean. I had no idea those were NFTs or that they were actually selling them. I just thought it was some stupid achievement I accidentally got.
Someone in another thread somewhere said it was stated on mastodon.world that they would only block in if something happens. I don't remember what topic that was in so unfortunately I don't have a link for you. At any rate, silence also speaks volumes.
The users who left were often likely to be the most dedicated (which is why they were the most butt hurt). This is only the beginning and the exodus will continue and the content will decline, although I don't know why I'm even telling you this since you're probably a spezbot.
Oh wait wut they have NFTs?
It's all a matter of opinion but personally I don't like watching videos and don't care if I can post them. If that's what you're looking for in a platform this might not be the best one for you.
I'm sure it's great but the thumbnail made me think it would be some kind of creamy blueberry with egg lol
The Biden administration is working on improving train infrastructure but if you look at the map of what they're adding, it's limited to a very small section of the country. I mean, it's like cross country but it's such a massive country that it's still super limited.
