In terms of Lemmy instances, assuming the feddit.de map is up to date, only beehaw, tucson.social and toons.zone have defederated. The first two presumably because of open signups.
However, afaik, Kbin doesn't publish it's blocklist, and the timing does make sense (last posts seem to be about 2-3 days ago), so it's possible they have blocked it.
On the other hand, kbin.social had pretty much always had issues federating since the "migration", so it could just be under load.
A number of interesting questions here.
For sitting in chairs, I guess the easy solution is that the only chairs in the anthro world would be stools or some variant thereof. There'd be no back and perhaps a small grove on the rear of the seat to accomodate thicker tails.
Chairs like this https://www.trampsuk.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/unnamed-51.jpg , with a very open back, could also be useful and maybe even adapted to a mastermind/gamer style chair (although I wonder about structural integrity).
I do wonder if richer anthros would buy or commission custom designed chairs to match their species. Or poorer marginalised species would have real trouble because everything is designed for other species.
For sleeping, I don't think sleeping on their back would be a big issue, honestly. I'm not a biologist, but as far as I know the tail is an extension of the spine? So it'd just lay out flat on the bed between their legs. I imagine if they did twist and turn and end up sleeping on top of it, it'd probably be like how humans can sometimes sleep weird and get pins and needles in their arms as they wake up.
For transport, such as buses, trains and even cars I wonder if the tail can go below the seat? Wouldn't work for all species, but in theory the seat could have a hole for them to fit their tail through, and curl it up in a small pocket under the cushion.
There is a lot of stuff that can happen to a tail, it can get trapped in doors, bumped by passers by, stood on and so on. I expect in an anthro world, in crowded areas they would anticipate and prepare for an amount of jostling. In a non-anthro world though... Getting my tail stuck in a closing train door does not sound like a fun time.
I expect a human-turned-anthro (and maybe anthros with anxiety) would end up either clutching their tail tight to their side or leg (depending on the type of tail), just so it can't get caught in things.
For another conflict unrelated to tails, what about keeping fur clean? I imagine in the anthro world this is a huge industry with lots of research into how to dry fur as quickly as possible, how to avoid getting drains clogged, perhaps species specific shampoos. I remember seeing a concept of a large "gateway" with many heated fans connected to it for the anthro to stand inside and get dried, like a giant hairdryer.
Wheras for the human-turned-anthro, you have a hairdryer, some dog shampoo and prayer that you don't end up smelling like wet dog.
Oh, did they make it easier in a patch sometime after release?
I will say, as I've grown older and more jaded, I've been finding the GPL more and more appealing...
Edit: Oh wow, why did a year old post show up at the top of "Hot", sorry about bumping.
Actually started playing this for the first time a few days ago! Such a good game, very charming art style, and the mechanics and ideas are amazing. Certainly a game to go into blind, and just enjoy the experience.
I also did not realise it was secretly a soulslike, but it never really felt that punishing (as someone who never got past the first real boss of Elden Ring).
I don't think so; I used "block" as a shorthand for defederate.
Agreed on doing it manually though, there only seems to be a handful of instances that are problematic, so we probably don't need to use the python script.
Can't believe they're finally adding Warwick to league. :P
Jokes aside, I think I may have a new main. <3
Out of interest, since Chromium is open source, is there anything stopping Opera, Edge, Brave, etc. just mantaining support for the old manifest? Like, I'm not sure why this is such a big deal for anything other than Chrome and Chromium.

Not like, evil or anything. Guy just really likes gardening.
IMO it's pretty much the same case as email. With email you send data to some remote server which may or may not reside in the EU.
I'm not really sure what argument you can make that fediverse apps but not email break gdpr.
Or even something as simple as putting your email on a public website that may be visited by someone in the US.
From a technical standpoint, there is no real difference, it comes down to how the instance owner feels it's best to run the server.
Ultimately, instances (or at least the ones most people want to join) want to keep rulebreakers, trolls and spam out. There are two main ways of doing this:
Of course, there is a lot of debate as to which of these methods are better (beehaw, for example, fundamentally doesn't think a reactive approach can work at all), which causes tension between some instances.
This tension can rise to a point where one instance "defederates" from another, meaning they stop talking to each other and you can't interact with one if you have an account with the other.
