I stumbled across a Reddit bot posting emotional rants about how bots are ruining Reddit; just to sell AI-generated books through affiliate links. A perfectly dystopian grift for the dead internet.

                  hexbear itself defed from some instances in the past, instead of hexbear beehaw would be more fitting

                  Oh, and, hexbear is politically oriented left unity focused Anti-West stance instance

                  lemm.ee blocks very few instances if you want true wild west.

                  Seems to suggest there are only 9 defederated from Aussie.zone out of 1600?

                    There are also some instances with hidden blocklists. You can check them there as well.

          I’m not entirely sure we’re missing out on all that much with a few porn instances missing.

      Coming up, in 2030: Anti bot verification by vtuber posting.

      Now this will require a vtuber account.

      Or how about the new captcha trend: Craft a simple barn in Arbonautica™ (game download available in Steam). You have 5 minutes.
