If I dislike a movie, book, game or food; I would criticise the movie, book, game or food and not the director's, writer's, developer's or chef's political views.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying don't criticise their political views. I'm saying don't criticise the product because of their political views.
Absolutely. I think it should have labels instead of colors tho. Because vendors can use different colors for same standards, which they're doing right now.
For example random unique two-lettered labels printed on the one end of the cable. So we can Google "USB XX" and see what it is capable of and what not. Also vendors can simply say "this product is needed to be used with at least XX USB standard".
The problem with colors is; there is no one metric for difference. For example two cables can have same data transfer speed while one can have PD and the other one don't.
for orientation. Things shouldn't have changed much for you. I just recommend you to choose a nice mobile app and alternative web UI (listed on your instance sidebar).
Instances are not shadow banning, they all listed in instance list page.
I didn’t get the mod drama thing. I guess this guy mixing instance admins with community mods.
Also, I don't think there is that much blocking between instances except Beehaw, since they want to create a refined user base.
Edit: what I was telling here is only applies to Lemmy. Looks like things are different for Mastodon side. So this comment may have a realistic view. I just don’t have enough experience on there.
