It covers Apple/Google tax. They didn't want to have lower revenue on mobile or go the Spotify route.

Nostr is the Bitcoiner protocol. It's simple but inflexible and not that censorship resistant (if you don't run your own relay you can lose data). ATP is more like Ethereum, way more complex but you can build actually useful apps with it.

Or limit copyright terms to ~20 years and repeal Section 1201 (together with 512 for good measure). That would cover far more than just old games.

Feedbro has a simple and customizable UI and supports both Chrome and Firefox.

Just let people build more housing. In most American cities it's either totally impossible or so expensive only millionaires and big real estate companies can afford it. There's no reason for a permitting process that takes 5 years or for single family zoning, other than homeowners self interest and racism.

Bluesky is working on a fix. They have a global identity system where you can move all your data (posts, likes, followers, blocks) to another instance if you get banned. The only thing that changes is your handle.

Sort by hot (or new if hot doesn't work) instead of active.

Even in the US there's no law against hosting encrypted files. They could be liable if they knew a specific file was illegal/pirated and didn't take it down but a recent SCOTUS case (think it was Twitter v Taamneh) set the precedent that general knowledge of illegal activity is not enough.

It's their decision and you should respect that. I also don't agree with the defederation and the rest of their policies but you can just not use it. No need to turn this into a political conflict.

Do you know where kbin shows the list of defederated instances? I can't find anything like that, there's just the modlog.

Mint is very opinionated and made explicitly for less technical users. If you have basic command line skills (or you're willing to learn) Fedora gives you more choice and in my experience it's actually more reliable than Debian based distros.

Bluesky has a global identity system where instance accounts are just links to a DID (basically your private key). If you get banned from an instance you have to change your name but you keep all your posts and likes.
