I think it would be better if bans only applied to posting on an instance, and each instance/community would self moderate. If I go to a post, I want to see the whole discussion, and not have certain people hidden from me by my home instance. Let the instance hosting the community filter out spam.

I haven't really thought through the details.
It would probably take decades to prepare, and to figure out what the best approach would be.
It also depends on how much I could bring back.
If it's just me and what I can carry, I think I would just bring a few things to demonstrate the tech. Maybe a high power flashlight and solar charger. The important part would be a detailed guide on how to re-enginer everything we have today, as well as the science behind it. Really, I think scientific knowledge would be the most impactful.
If this was a huge operation with near infinite resources, I would send back a giant self sustaining compound with a general purpose factory. I think it would probably be possible to sustain a roughly 60s level of technology indefinitely on a small scale until the rest of the world caught up
Depends on the rules.
Round trip to a 'read only' version of the past? I'd like to see the dinosaurs.
Round trip that can make changes? Probably a few hundred or even thousand years ago, so I could give them modern technology, information about climate change, try to educate people on social issues, etc. I'd create detailed instructions and try to make a religion out of it. There's no guarantee it would work, but I'd hopefully return to a solarpunk utopia. Honestly not sure if I would try this, as it would basically overwrite everything I've ever known.
One way trip? I'd probably pass, unless I can de-age. I would definitely want to go back to being a child with all my current knowledge.
What does gender have to do with it? Do men not have skin?
You should probably use a moisturizer at least. And spf isn't a bad idea if you will be outside.
Really? I'm in my 20s, and pretty much everyone I know smokes. I think it's just less acceptable to smoke alone or in public.
The carcinization of desert mammals
I feel that. I wish I was neurotypical, cis, and mentally well :(
Doesn't Linux already have a bunch of forks? I'm using the CachyOS kernel, for example
The "default" for lack of a better term
There is a better term, it's 'cis'
I'm not sure if I would really say it's that uplifting, but if you like puzzle and card games, you'll love Inscryption

It's about overcoming internal struggles to achieve something. (something I'm still fighting with in real life, bad place mentally here too.)
Listening to the soundtrack always makes me feel a bit better though.
It's cute, fun, and challenging (although never difficult in a frustrating way)
I understand the liability issue, I guess this is just an inherent tradeoff with how the fediverse works.
I at least think there could be a two stage ban, ‘no posting here’ and ‘block everything’.
Also, defederation could still be used for instances that fail to moderate, although I do agree that fully blocking a user is much preferable to the nuclear option.
