I just learned of github.com/pixeldesu/fediverse (from the koyu.space's open singups announcement) and noticed the "this is from a bygone era" warning that you've added a few days ago. That warning confuses me: I don't understand what changes make it undesirable to adopt such rules. Would you mind elaborating a bit on that?

(Obviously feel free to not answer, or answer in any less public way if you prefer that.)

@robryk well, technically, people can still adopt it, if they want.

some reasons, still:
- people were harassed for adopting it, basically making the FFMC something "that admins adopt if they don't want to moderate content"
- only people that were affected negatively by blocksprees adopted it, but it didn't go "widespread" to actually cause any meaningful change
- the network got larger and thus some severed connections don't have that large of an impact as in 2019 etc.

I don't get this part. If adopting it explicitly would invite any negative consequences for the admin, wouldn't ones who didn't want to bother moderating just not moderate and not adopt it publicly?
