Bluesky is working on a fix. They have a global identity system where you can move all your data (posts, likes, followers, blocks) to another instance if you get banned. The only thing that changes is your handle.
I love controversy.

That’s probably a kbin UI bug
Sort by hot (or new if hot doesn’t work) instead of active.
Valve has a pretty unique flat structure that could protect them from a corporate buyout, even more if Gaben decides to transfer ownership into an employee trust and turn it into a full co-op when he leaves.
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.
Do you know where kbin shows the list of defederated instances? I can’t find anything like that, there’s just the modlog.
Mint is very opinionated and made explicitly for less technical users. If you have basic command line skills (or you’re willing to learn) Fedora gives you more choice and in my experience it’s actually more reliable than Debian based distros.
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.
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.
So far it just looks like there will be a couple of instances who defed from everyone else, not a large scale split. Reddit refugees are mostly average users, not radical leftists like those who left Twitter for Mastodon.
These are all fast, violent and kind of similar to each other:
It covers Apple/Google tax. They didn’t want to have lower revenue on mobile or go the Spotify route.
