I suspect screen readers and a11y tools hate this as well.

The major one that concerns me is who is behind them. Even if we trust that their encryption is not backdoored, there is a lot of information that can be gathered just from the frequency of messages and who they are between.

If it came out that a three letter agency was running one of these networks, it would not suprise me at all.

Here in Aus, this is how the NBN is provided in some areas, there is a NBN coax-to-ethernet box, and then you can plug in your own router.

There is always a chance that your ISP is doing something weird that prevents that working, but I think it should be fine.

Weirdly, i dont think that episode freaked me out, but yeah, in hindsight it probably should have.

Not seasame street, but thomas the tank engine. There was an episode where Thomas got covered in tar and feathers (i think? Was a while ago), and that freaked younger me out. Never watched it again.

Not sure I agree with me, but ok :)

Well, yeah, like I said, way to late to change. Programmers are notoriously bad at naming things, but once named, its hard to change.

It might have made the "Which instance do I join?" question a bit more intuitive and self-answerable if it was instead:

Q: Which community do I join? A: Oh, obvious, the one that seems to match my IRL community/values.

(If its not obvious, I am also a programmer, so any opinions on usability and human behaviour are also completely detached from reality 😄)
