Do you really need to import a CSV just to block a single domaine? Sounds over complicated

[–] DogMuffins@discuss.tchncs.de 24 points 1 year ago

This is for instance admins rather than users.

This function is designed to allow you to maintain a list of blocked domains rather than just one.

Complicated and pointless. There's no reason why you wouldn't want more engagement.

[–] DogMuffins@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Really? I can think of several billion.

[–] Harpuajim@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You'd rather have less people than more people on the platform?

[–] DogMuffins@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 1 year ago

Yes.

I don't want more people just for the sake of more people. Meta is a cesspool of idiocy.

[–] IrrationalAndroid@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes. And there are good reasons for that, as this user showed: https://lemmy.world/comment/884169

Neither of those two examples are at all relevant to this platform and their entire section about Meta and the Fedverse is complete speculation. This community isn't going anywhere even if they started acting hostile towards a decentralized platform as time went on. Having more communities on this platform is a net positive.

Can I ask you why do these examples not apply in your opinion? The XMPP one seems particularly fitting and actually maps perfectly to the Fediverse situation (so far), if I'm not missing anything.
