It's definitely all of the above.

Hexbear is particularly vexing to me. According to the fediverse observer they're less than a month old and yet have already become one of the most active instances.

outside of running your own instance, asking your instance's owner to block them, or joining one that already has the offender on the blocklist, no. It's requested a lot though so it's probably on the todo list

the only restaurant chili with cinnamon is skyline, which is specifically why i dont like it

i mean it's spiced differently and usually has beans but the main ingredient is still tomatoes. not that different from having a meat sauce

twitter. thats as deep as it goes. like how they try to get people to put hashtags in their titles despite no one using hashtags to find videos. corporations try not to turn everything into a homogeneous blob challenge: impossible.

it's funny because they tried to do this push a few years ago too where everyone new had an @ and they eventually dropped it because it was dumb. i guess whichever exec thought that was a good idea never actually left

I bet we fall just outside the top 10. Seems pretty busy here to me, plus our LOTR memes make top upvoted pretty frequently. Honestly I'm wondering if the user distribution might be pretty dang good below the top 5 servers or so; 234k could be a serious underestimation of the actual active userbase if the next 20 servers all have 1k+

idk, im surprised it took this long. there's a huge variety of admin teams with varying degrees of security awareness and it's been over a month since the first big influx of users started. it'll happen again too and probably not before too long
