Thank you for the detailed answer!

Not sure anymore. Since you’re asking I’m assuming it makes a difference?

Thanks for the hint. What does

DROP_TABLE ALL

mean?

Also would you say random text that doesn’t make sense is better or just copy pasting a paragraph from somewhere? Or just a one liner like: “Moved to Lemmy.”?

Thanks! It just suddenly popped into my mind.

I don’t exactly understand how this is going to kill small instances? I just stared with the Fediverse stuff so I might have understood it wrong:

Point 1: “Meta will unethically defederate from instances…” I’m assuming that means they’ll block access to those instances for anyone that has an account on the Meta instance? I don’t really see the problem with that. This won’t affect small instances at all because people who want to view other instances will have an account somewhere else and people using the meta instance probably wouldn’t have heard of the fediverse in the first place if it wasn’t for meta. Its a win basically since they’ll get introduced to the fediverse concept which is a step in the right direction. And small instances will stay as they are which is unaffected.

Point 2: If I understood it correctly they can only slow down access to other instances if one uses an account created on the meta instance? So same argument as in point 1.

How should it be called instead?

Or else what? I guess they can’t do much?

Whats the benefit of encoding it? Others might not know what that even is.

Thanks.

I don’t care about their code in the post body. If there’s a possibility I just block the whole instance. Don’t want to see anything from them.
