Yeah, after reading that I think the defederation was a quite serious mistake on their part that will probably cause a lot of people to abandon their instance.

Certainly, but when you make a comment or post it gets transferred to all federated servers without your express consent and you currently can’t permanently delete anything.

By that logic though all of Fediverse is illegal and should be shut down. There is significant work to be done there, not just by Facebook but by the Fediverse community on the whole.

Brilliant, very much look forward to it. I don’t have much experience with mobile app development but could contribute some translations if you end up needing them.

Or as we say in the industry, a bicorn (note that there is currently no industry that refers to them as bicorns)

As did I. Was sort of okay with third party apps being blocked, but the whole mod replacement thing is unfortunate and has caused my favourite subreddits to go down pretty much indefinitely.
