I think, unless the big players are forced out of business (either by law or by a BIG societal shift) it has simply no chance to win over the mainstream. At least not worldwide… in the EU it might stand a bit of a chance but even that is more wishful thinking on my part.

You don’t.

A WITCH! BURN HER!!! /s

Well… I AM probably a dick, so…

Of course it’s the simplest reading: lemmy.ML is a weird instance with rather weird users, filtering THAT out (and some more) will be a benefit for the Fediverse as it prevents new users from being too much weirdet out

Oh this would be a bliss…

To be honest: If you don’t have the deeper technical knowledge to implement some secure form of forum / BBS or something like that and if you are dependent on the advice from strangers on the net and LLMs AND you are currently living in a nation where something like that may lead to an “accident”… just don’t. A warzone isn’t the right place to learn to fight.

I honestly would love it…

why would you try to copy windows?

Because you may prove you can? I mean, this is an absolutely valid reason.
