I believe it’s three instances that were picked for the moment, including mine (I’m the admin) which has been going for nearly 3 years. I think their logic is to spread people out from the big instances.

I would want to know the answer to questions such as: (1) are there multiple people on the instance admin team, (2) are they well-funded, since a negative answer to either of those might mean that the server disappears six months from now, which is a major inconvenience.

I mean I think most people ending up on that page probably don’t even know to ask. They may have no familiarity with fediverse software or what the hell an instance is. They just want to sign up to this reddit alternative they heard about.

It’s a hard balance for sure.

Yep that was a change a while back. Choice makes some people think there’s too much effort involved so the first recommendation is a random “general” server. You can still see the list if you want.

Infuse is great…

If you pay. I’d love an alternative tho

Oh yeah??? So you’re telling me if we did a comprehensive review of your comments we wouldn’t find any instance of you saying “fuck [president’s name]”???

Checkmate, gottem, I rest my case.

On average yes actually

The truth of it tends to be more that gun nuts own a dozen or more guns which skews things, but legitimately iirc over 40% of US households have at least one.

One of the most insanely quick rises of any country from poverty to modernity.

What? It’s like saying systemd is handing the government your info because they have a field for your real name and address.

YOU control what info goes there, if any. It mandates NOTHING.

You may as well be mad at vim because your text editor is capable of storing your birthdate if you go in and type it and save it to /public/myInfo.txt

What they’ve done, is in the user info field (which already has a ton of information that almost nobody ever fills out) they added a date of birth field. They do not control what it’s used for, who’s going to use it, or if the user will ever bother filling it out. Perhaps nobody will ever implement a use for it, it’s really nothing.

Honestly it’s such a minor change, I’m pretty sure they could just grab all the upstream commits in the future and not do anything and it’ll be fine.

Obviously not, that would be something very very different than what they’ve done.
