Time to defederate Feddit.org.

To bad. They weren’t that bad, IME. But denying criticism of a state actively carrying out a globally recognized genocide… that’s a strict rule I’ve adopted.

If midwest.social won’t defederate, I’ll have to block the whole instance.

Really? I went to an allergist a couple of years ago, and she scratched me about 6 times with different things and looked to see how much it welted. Real old school.

Go get yourself tested at an allergists. It’s relatively cheap.

Dust mite allergies are extremely common, and dust mites are hard to see. They look like dust.

Whatever it is, it could be an environmental allergy.

This is a really strong argument for not depending on non-federated, centrally controlled services. It doesn’t matter which country or company is behind Your Favorite Service™, they can be legally mandated to by Oppressive Regime (“it could never happen in my country!”), or they could just be arbitrary assholes.

I don’t care why Microsoft did it. I moved off Github when MS acquired them, although in this case it probably wouldn’t have made a difference. Regardless, what it proves is that you can not rely on a monopoly.
