The worst part of trying to appeal more to normies is how they hand out bans like they're candy.

Gotta appeal to advertisers that want the normie eye balls.

I hate using the word normie, because these people truthfully haven't done anything wrong. It's the advertisers that follow them around like vampires that are the issue.

Under a centralized system, bans are terrible. But federation is awesome because it's perfectly okay for an instance to be ban-happy. Just join another instance. (I'm on lemm.ee because I want to see everything)

Not only is it fine, but I think we actually need a variety of instances; no-bans, some-bans, lots-of-bans, and excessive-bans. People should have the choice.
