Because someone can just host a CP instance and now that instance even if defederated from other instances still provides a safe space for pedophiles to share content and other illegal stuff.

That is no different than someone just hosting their own webserver for the same purpose. They would find themselves in jail pretty quickly. If they do federate; they would be announcing their own existence. That would not be in their interest if they wanna fly under the radar.

Regarding names, I don’t really know. Maybe instances can have blacklists of allowed names, if they care about it. Perhaps they leave the responsibility of blocking users you don’t like, to you.

It’s all about how far we can push the user and how much the user is willing to pay. Gotta squeeze and close all avenues of escape, so they tolerate some more.

Most games run in Linux these days. It’s especially easy if you have your game in steam and enable proton in settings. As for a favourite. That’s hard to say. I have accumulated so many games over the years, I can’t name a favourite. I played a lot of overwatch before they messed it up with the f2p patch. Otherwise, I’ve been playing some rimworld lately and some don’t starve together. Edit: It just struck me. Underrail is a game I could count to my all time favorites.
