Sideloading is quite bad. If you’re in the EU, I know you can use AltStore PAL, which costs money (~€1.50 a year), but all you’ll be getting is emulators, virtual machines, clipboard managers, and torrent clients.

There is another method for sideloading that works anywhere and lets you download modified apps, but it is very limited, tedious, and probably insecure. I’ve done it, it’s not worth it. Better to stay on android or use a browser with adblock or something.

I don’t think iOS has any specific limits to do with NSFW stuff, I’ve never heard of anything anyways.

Pirating games is probably not going to be worth it either since you have to sideload apps with the second method.

Other types of piracy are probably fine. If you have AltStore PAL you can get a torrent client and an emulator.

Moshidon is really good for android. I especially like that you can have custom timelines for basically anything

It’s probably more expensive and inconvenient.

Also it might only take one report for an active mod team to ban a server. How long can that take? An hour? Less? If they’re on servers that real people use, bots have to be banned one by one, so the spam can last a lot longer and reach more people.

you can’t move that account somewhere else.

That means you can migrate between servers and keep all your friends and followers, something that’s currently not possible in the Fediverse.

It absolutely is possible to move accounts between instances on the fediverse. I’ve done it multiple times.

It does have some quirks tho. Posts aren’t migrated to your new account. (Some fedi software lets you migrate posts, but from what I hear it’s kinda jank).

It’s not seamless, but the option is there, and you won’t lose any friends or followers (unless they’re defederated or something)

Bluesky accounts seem like they’ll be more portable than fediverse accounts but I don’t know much about it

It’s a crawler that ports things from one platform to another without consent from the user. If either of them are unethical and should be blocked, then both should be blocked.

I understand blocking this bridge, but if admins do that, they should block other bridges too, like bird.makeup

The process got easier in mastodon 4.2.0, now you just have to type in your instance and it takes you to it directly.
