There's several clients in the works - I'll be looking at Sync for Lemmy, as I was a customer of Sync for Reddit.

Oh yeah, if I were in their shoes, I'd be utterly crushed!
Might get to the point where anti-DDOS measures have to be used against AI scrapers.
Since Superheavy is still under power (center 3 engines, at 50%), maybe it just steers out of the exhaust before Starship lights the vacuum Raptors.
The only difference between today's MAGA movement and the OG Nazis is the branding.
In the case of that Detonating Craniums board, the content is indeed abusive. Having had the poor taste to peek, (NSFW, trigger: bigotry)

I saw a "joke" about throwing trans people into a woodchipper. Yeah, not funny. That's what they do - make it acceptable to murder people who are different.
They're completely despicable. They need full defederation.
My vote: defederate.
Exploding-heads.com is full of disgusting, hateful, toxic shit.
Besides, it's not banning, it's defederating. If you have the bad taste to want to see that bigoted dumpster fire, you can always go over there. We don't need it over here.
But we all know that the chuds aren't happy staying in their little shitholes. They want to bring the shit here even though we've plainly said we don't want it.
They want to bully, and they want to recruit new chuds. Don't let them use sh.itjust.works for that.
Deplatforming works, and that's why all the fashies are having a screaming tantrum. Fascism can't spread if the rest of us don't let them use our spaces for that.
Exactly - for example with weed subs. A lot got summarily banned, the rest NSFW'd, because Spez wants Reddit G-rated for the IPO.
Over here, a Mormon instance defederating a weed-oriented instance isn't going to shut down the stoners' community.
If you don't like the way an instance curates content, switch to a different instance, or make your own instance and curate content yourself.
Did my part on the Play Store!
How's this?
This app is malware. Full of tracking, violates your privacy. Spez nixed 3rd party apps to force you to use this. Why? Why is it so much laggier than Sync for Reddit? Why does it consume so much bandwidth? Why was Spez so adamant about forcing users to this trash fire? Hmmmm... Not a trustworthy app. If it's on your device, your device is bugged. Remember, you are not Reddit's customer. You're the product.
If things get big enough that hobbyist instance owners are getting overwhelmed, it might be a good idea to organize a nonprofit, under the NPR business model. Not collecting data or breaking your brain with advertisements, though periodically, they're gonna have to go hat in hand, and beg users to feed their Patreon. Hey, I'm more than happy to throw a little in!
Nice thing about this business model is that being a nonprofit, the point of its existence is to fulfill its mission (to help independent distributed social media thrive), instead of to make money for owners/shareholders.
