Congratulations, you have a reputation of 1,427 as observed on kbin.social!
Kbin / mbin do expose reputation (karma) even for federated users. e.g.

Neither very much. Python won't change. Excel when running in the cloud will become more powerful, but the workbooks using Python will also be incompatible with desktop versions of Excel. At least that's what I'm understanding so far.

Except at it's core chromium is open source, and I can't see the FOSS community embracing the idea. The French also wouldn't be able to fully limit access to unrestricted browsers.

It's an all round dumb idea. Much easier and more effective to tell ISPs to do the blocking.

Shamelessly stealing a comment from another site on this:

u/rogtharg
It is, there are like only three major roads leading on and off Crimea. This one is the one furthest away from the frontline and pointing towards Melitopol which is one of the cities Ukraine is hoping to reach with their counter offensive to cut the Russians in half.

Two other roads point more towards Kherson and where the dam was, so a bit of two roads to nowhere atm.

It seems this is to further limit resupply routes for Russia.

Oh absolutely, but the venn diagram of people who can do this, and people who value open APIs is pretty close to a circle.

It is being discussed - here is a thread from yesterday:
https://kbin.social/m/support@lemmy.world/t/204434/Tracking-Lemmy-users-by-spy-tracker-pixels

And here is an ongoing discussion about a possible remedy:
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3550

But worth noting, unlike email the 'view' isn't linked to an individual and an email address, and also broadcasting your IP address (yes and some meta data) as you browse isn't unusual. Every page you visit could be doing this not just Lemmy.
Yes ideally this should be fixed, but in my view it is also a bit of a storm in a teacup.

Sometimes it is, say here:
https://fedidb.org/current-events/threadiverse
But you might as well say why isn't Mastodon included? Kbin is a fundamentally different platform and architecture, even if the two are largely compatible (as is Mastodon, to a slightly lesser extent with Lemmy).
It is perfectly reasonable to look at the growth of Lemmy, think of it like quoting use of one flavour of Linux - Linux uptake overall is also interesting, but not the same.

This seems to highlight a common misconception, kbin isn't really any smaller than Lemmy when we look at active users, in fact it seems it has only just (three days ago) caught up:
https://fedidb.org/current-events/threadiverse
Somehow Lemmy seems to have stronger brand recognition, and people often seem say Lemmy to mean things which include Lemmy and kbin users/platforms.

A saw a post a while back commenting on how many upvotes it was taking to get onto the front page of r/all having dropped, but not sure if there is any way to see stats from before API changes now.

[-] Teppic@kbin.social 15 points 2 years ago

A boost is more like a retweet, anybody who follows you elsewhere in the fediverse will see the thing you boosted in their feed.

An upvote(=a favourite) doesn't get broadcast in the same way. This is why a boost is weighted as a more significant endorsement.
