Maybe another GS admin can remember how to enable #old_school without having to look. !gnusocial -

They are almost always false.
Ad-blocking didn't cause pop-ups and interstitials. Those things predated ad-blockers, and were caused by the abysmally low response rates (click-through) of online ads.
Ad-blocking didn't cause the ads that expand to cover the content of a page or the dashed green underlines within a page's text that pop up small ads when you mouseover them. They are merely a continuation of the trend that started with pop-ups.
Ad-blocking didn't cause tracking. Tracking was caused by the idea that "making ads relevant" would improve click-through rates. It happened independently of ad-blocking.
Now, ad-blocking supposedly caused the rise of surreptitious #JavaScript cryptocoin miners? Does that also explain the existenence of mobile (and desktop) software that contains hidden cryptocurrency miners? Because the two are likely closely related. -

But for single-user (and smaller userbase) instances, nothing helps fill in broken conversations like a federation bot. -

I'm pretty sure I saw a post somewhere in which someone did a magic SQL incantation that made those inactive subs active, but I've not been able to find it again. !gnusocial -

I know they prevent a lot of spam and self-promotion, but they may be too aggressive sometimes.
otability / significance requirements often boil down to "I haven't heard of it before, so it must not be significant." -

I had the experience of #PayPal grabbing funds from my bank account to send to someone I'd done business with once, three years earlier. When I protested the unauthorized transfer, PP said that since I had done business with them before, it could not be unauthorized. -

Global moderation does not belong in the federation. It belongs back on a centralized network like Twitter. -

We have groups for languages, sports, politics, foods and beverages, geographical area, programming tools, health & diet, and more. The !fediverse is full of regular people as well as more technical folks. But new arrivals, as is true anywhere, have to take the initiative to find out where and how to connect to others that share their preferred interests. -

That text is what people see most of the time, so hiding part of the webby is a mistake. It was a mistake when Identica did it (leading to one super-node whose users had little understanding that they could use other nodes and how to interact with such nodes). Federation is the strength of our network. Our projects should put that front and center, where everyone will see it. https://nu.federati.net/attachment/17236
