This is satire right? Right?

How would they enforce this on open source projects without companies behind them?

This doesn’t require the user to be able to block, it’s required that there is the ability to block a user from the system in general.

Its a surprise to me that a reddit post or any kind of random text blurb can be used as an admission of anything. What if the guy simply says I made all that up for fun? There is no requirement for text written on the internet to be under oath. Edit: fixed spelling oauth -> oath ;)

I agree to that, however I was answering in context of the fediverse taking over and being standalone. Wishful thinking I know, but one can hope.

I actually think its OK, its just like any other account. So simply block them and all is good. Businesses need platforms too. If you dont like that business advertising to you block them. The difference to the big social media giants is that you can’t block them cuz they pay them. Also, a bad ad will have significant less reach in lemmy/masto.

I bet they r just being lazy and can get away with it. Wasn’t going to use it anyway.
