My loved Steam Controller is usually all that I need, sometimes a Switch Pro Controller.

And it’s still hard to call it a gift, it’s more of an imposition.

Because it’s a non-issue since you can create a new account inside the blocked instance if you really have to check some community in there, the defederation can be rolled back and there are multiple similar communities through the different instances (or someone could start their own), so losing one of many doesn’t have the same impact as losing the only one.

Why would we complain if the zucc decides to not federate at all?

Users are free to download Threads and go lick zucc’s balls if they so desire, instances are just protecting themselves and the responsability that comes with it.

It’s getting tired reading so many zucc apologist, I swear they are bots or accounts created for that purpose

Not sure now, but at the time they had 4 moderators for the whole instance, this while the big Reddit migration was happening so it was a bomb waiting to blowup, also they’ve stated before that they want/plan to make it a safespace so they are not exactly made for federation since they’ll have to end up blocking a lot of instances to achieve that.

Also if instance A goes down you still have instance B.
