They should use fediseer to accept the top 100 most reputable mastodons

https://gui.fediseer.com/

I don't think their devs are having a hard time figuring out how to support different instance names...

[–] jlh@lemmy.jlh.name 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Then why don't they accept any instance? Fediseer has an api where they can see the most reputable instances and limit to only allowing those reputable instances.

Because of what everyone else here is saying. If you're a company like Valve, you don't want to open a portal to undesirable content that isn't moderated. They chose the biggest instances with the most users because those are generally going to be the safest ones.

which is why im saying use fediseer so they dont have to hand pick 5 instances

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You're missing the point. They chose those instances INTENTIONALLY. They don't need your solution because there is no problem. 🤦

They probably just wanted a handful so they can slap it in a regex and be done with it.

Website doesn't load

[–] StrawberryPigtails@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Might have been a temporary issue. It’s working for me.

Try Tor Browser in strict mode. It just loads an empty white page.

Definitely doesn't sound like an issue with Tor Browser in Strict Mode. /s
