    Probably to avoid linking to kid diddler instances.

        Given that half the games are anime waifu sims these days, I can only imagine what horrors you’d unleash letting people link to their profiles on anime waifu mastodon instances.

        Actually no, I don’t have to imagine it since I’ve seen the horrors with my own eyes.

        I don’t think their devs are having a hard time figuring out how to support different instance names…

          Then why don’t they accept any instance? Fediseer has an api where they can see the most reputable instances and limit to only allowing those reputable instances.

            Because of what everyone else here is saying. If you’re a company like Valve, you don’t want to open a portal to undesirable content that isn’t moderated. They chose the biggest instances with the most users because those are generally going to be the safest ones.

                You’re missing the point. They chose those instances INTENTIONALLY. They don’t need your solution because there is no problem. 🤦

              Definitely doesn’t sound like an issue with Tor Browser in Strict Mode. /s

          I said cultural clashes, not pedo and MAGA circlejerks.

          Wait, do you not realize what an echo chamber is…?

          Because that’s exactly what I don’t want in my Twitter-like experience.

          I want to watch the opposing groups of internet brained waterheads, who view posting as combat, flail, whine, and throw hissy fits at each other, while on the same platform.

              And you’re the Cesar’s centurion. In armor and with the crowd cheering for you.

              What a sight.

              … gladiator pit?

              First off, no, this isn’t combat and I don’t suffer from that delusion…

              Secondly, I’m talking about crazy vs. crazy. I want QANON nuts, antivax moms, liberals that accuse everyone they don’t like of being a Russian bot, etc.

              Finally… I’m having a hard time moving past you calling this a gladiator pit, and implying that I’m a gladiator… Actually, what’s your Twitter handle. You sound like someone I should follow.

                Not sure how to respond to this tbh

                Unfortunately I don’t use Twitter so I don’t have a handle
