Ngl, this screams “think of the children.”

You’re missing the point. Fedi Garden is threatening to defederate from anyone who doesn’t defederate from Threads.

Imagine if other instances start doing this about things that aren’t threads. “Delist from db0 or world will delist you”, “delist from Lemmy.ca or Lemmy.ml will delist you.”

I don’t have this problem.

No thank you.

Yes, but my browser doesn’t give a fuck. As it should be for many reasons, including general security.

Your DNS only works for services/machines you have explicitly set to follow it, or devices under them in the network hierarchy.

Running your own DNS server doesn’t do much, unless your users are polling that DNS server, or a DNS server that pulls from it. No large DNS provider is going to honor your random ass DNS servers mappings, and that’s a good thing.

And honestly, trusting some random DNS server isn’t a good idea. All it takes is one malicious entry and https://google.com suddenly loads in a cryptominer.
