Well your first definition is opinion based so all good. The second one is imprecise, as a setting is an adjustment and not out of the range of vanilla Minecraft. Texture packs and data packs are often considered vanilla as well, so no "adjustments" at all is indeed a little hard.

The definition of vanilla software makes it clear that only unmodified software, in this case Minecraft, is considered vanilla. The word vanilla is choosen for this to represent the kind of standard taste (vanilla ice cream is often viewed as basic lmao). Technically, resource packs do not alter the codebase of minecraft and neither do data packs. All they do is provide some data that the game uses to run.
Here is where it gets complicated sometimes though. As you could have probably guessed, using mods is not vanilla. That is, because the code of Minecraft gets extended or injected. It is no longer unmodified. However, data packs can sometimes be structured code-like and can be used to execute functions. This is problematic, because although the source code of Minecraft is still the same, that code could load in other code from some data pack and execute it, essentially giving an effect also achievable by changing Minecraft's source code. It's similar with resource packs, although not nearly to the same extend.
So while generally an unmodified piece of software is called "vanilla", Minecraft itself kind of blends what that means exactly. Minecraft out of the box would be considered vanilla.
Yeah I absolutely get what you mean. But as I said. What I said is not my opinion, it's a possible explanation. I don't really give two craps about politics.
Yes absolutely, but the soon to be user reading this will just go to Mastodon and completely ignore everything else for at least the time they are not told of other platforms. Just leave the platforms out of context. Let them google fediverse and explore
Alright then
Not to me it wasn't, my experience has been better wih lemmy. And it still is. I think you should just leave the opportunity open for them to actually search for the feediverse and not specifically Mastodon.
I'd say give SearXNG another try. Whats the issue exactly?
Yet you still mention mastodon, excluding every other part of the fediverse.
Well, if it happened like you said it did, it coule likely be that dbzer0 is against censorship. Anything that does not happen on their own instance they are not responsible for. lemmy.world has been criticized because of censorship. It's one of the reasons why people left reddit in the first place. Not allowing communities they do not align with on their own instance is a lot closer to true "fReEdOm Of SpEeCh" (lmao) than outright defederating. Seeing as most users on this instance did likely not even read the code of conduct and probably do not even know what a tanky is, there are probably a bunch of new lemmy users that just chose some large instance, without worrying too much about the technical aspect. Such users do not necessarily benefit from censorship.
To be clear, this is just what I could think of. This is not based on some opinion of mine. I have no idea why they refederated. I also don't know anything about the hexbear instance.
Whats so special about firefox containers?
General good practice
