Should not do masonry work on a very snowy day. You’ll just end up with a very botched result.

Except, of course, if you have a roof of some kind to protect the wall.

I opened Google Street View and “drove” along Mannerheimintie. Here are images of all trucks I found along the “drive”:

…and then I figured I’d try some rednecky place, and the most redneck place I could pick from my hat was Kauhava (sorry, everyone in Kauhava). I figure that if in some place they drive trucks with illegal modifications, then that’s there.

So, I went for truck hunt there as well, which turned out to be much more difficult than I thought! Anyway, here:

I am not able to find a truck in Finland that does not have those protecting devices installed. And I don’t think I have ever seen one.

How come?

A block allows the tankies to see the normal person’s comments and to reply to they. The only effect of a block is that you won’t know someone has replied to your comment and can badmouth you freely. So yeah, regarding blocks you are right.

But a defederation works differently. Users of a defederated instance do not see the comments on the otger side of the breakage at all, and therefore cannot troll under them either. If your instance fully defederates from the trolls, you really do get a better experience. There’s no need for everyone to defederate for defederation to benefit the instance’s users.

Recommend some instance that defederates the Tankie Triad. Problem solved?

And beside that, maybe choose an instance that is running PieFed, PyLova or mBin?

Why are you writing tankie in quotes?

One of my first experiences in the Fediverse was mentioning the Uyghur genocide and having my comment promptly removed by the .ml admins. They’ve been doing this all the time.
