Getting downvoted is one thing. There is definitely a certain bias in the wider fediverse community on this topic, so it's normal that your comments aren't received well. It isn't manipulative and probably an accurate reflection of what the community thinks.

What lemmy.ml is doing is more insidious though. They are manipulating the discussion by actively muzzling users with dissenting opinions.

Maybe your instance has defederated from it?

Also I think the activity level is measured as activity from your instance, not globally.

I'm not sure how they accomplish that

If they have database access, which they would have being the admins, they can do anything.

I think unlike on hexbear and lemmygrad, most lemmy.ml users simply don't know, and many communities hosted there are bona fide. I'm not throwing stones at them, it's the admins of the instance that I have a beef with.

What you're describing is not a man-in-the-middle proxy, but a simple DNS block. That's a very crude approach to blocking ads and notoriously doesn't work for YouTube and Google ads because they're served from the same domain.

I run a pihole myself but there's still a huge difference between browsing with pihole only and pihole+ublock. It's certainly not the answer to the Manifest V3 shenanigans.

That man-in-the-middle principle doesn't work with TLS.

Same here. Made the switch back to Firefox a year ago when I saw the writing on the wall about where Google wanted to take Chrome with Manifest V3.

Yeah god forbid people have some interesting discussion on this platform, right?

The post doesn't answer the questions, it's why I asked.

It says:

All running on a krun microVM with FEX and full TSO support 💪

I was not expecting Party Animals to run! That's a DX11 game, running with the classic WineD3D on our OpenGL 4.6 driver!

Now I know some of these words, but it does not answer my question.
