I think the bot can be configured to avoid this, but the way they have it configured definitely creates a lot of duplicates. It’s in the community map section of the config file.

Multiple bars and a breakdown for each would be fantastic.
Interesting.
Defederation may be the only solution to the problem without changing the source code to allow for better administration tools.
To me it sounds like they’re advocating for decentralization. Defederation means less traffic for an instance. If the majority of users are already on one instance, defederation could end it. I imagine most people want an instance where they can reach the most people. If they, understandably, pick the largest instance, it may not be long before it holds all the power, in terms of user acivity or count, and becomes the center.
I can’t either. “Allow” and “block” has always made more sense to me, though, so I wouldn’t mind the change.
I doubt it. Users may already be familiar with these features and would see it a way to make processes more seamless. Server subscriptions would mean you don’t have to go through Patreon.
I wish the front page had a better distribution of posts from magazines. I do not want to log in to filter out the meme factories.
