Deref

There's no way to enforce that. Bots can change IP address and not all instances have a dmca page.

That's probably a kbin UI bug

Sort by hot (or new if hot doesn't work) instead of active.

With Proton most games run with no issues and just as fast as on Windows. Those that don't are because of anticheat, weird launchers or invasive DRM. I still have a Windows partition for those games and Windows only tools but haven't used it in months.

I made a version that makes the instance name normal weight instead of bold. Think it looks better that way.

It's their decision and you should respect that. I also don't agree with the defederation and the rest of their policies but you can just not use it. No need to turn this into a political conflict.

Some communities only exist on Reddit. There's nothing wrong with using it as long as you have an ad blocker and don't pay for premium or awards. I'd even say it's the right thing because you cost them money.

Do you know where kbin shows the list of defederated instances? I can't find anything like that, there's just the modlog.

This gives me an idea. Make a federated torrent site. It would be practically impossible to take down and one instance going offline because they don't have money wouldn't destroy everything like in RARBG's case.

Email addresses are not private info. You don't have to put your real name in them.

Bluesky has a global identity system where instance accounts are just links to a DID (basically your private key). If you get banned from an instance you have to change your name but you keep all your posts and likes.
