This is exactly why I hate hotels. They are the same everywhere and tend to be located near the same shit everywhere. I much prefer a short term rental so you get to really experience a neighborhood in the city when you travel.

Chesapeake just means “people who know that crabs are meant to be steamed, not boiled.”

In my experience this is a surprisingly sharp cultural divide among places where eating crabs is common.

They have always charged more for exit rows is what I’m saying. Premium economy is just a new tier.

Seat upgrades have been an uncharged for as long as I can remember. At least 30 years. I find it hard to believe they ever gave them away for free.

Because the existence of those tools are being used as am excuse for not doing the thing which actually helps. In addition to the whole first half of my comment where needing the right block list to make the fediverse tolerable is not a sustainable practice.

Honey, why is there a leopard at the door?

The biggest security risk with the fediverse is arguably the ability to serve individual users malicious content from your instance or another host you control. Defederation is the best defense against that.

This is the action which made you realize that they are operating in bad faith? Not… gestures wildly

The problem is that this really harms broader outreach efforts. If the fediverse is only tolerable with the right block list, then most people who try to give it a shot will just be turned off immediately. And that’s not even getting into the potential security issues associated with malicious instances.

One admin there pretty much admitted that their only purpose for interacting with the fediverse is trolling. There is legitimately nothing of value lost by ignoring them.
