windows has normalized all that shit so well that this image is genuinely disturbing compared to the win 11 start menu. I am glad my windows days ended years ago
That is correct. Your instance needs to defederate from the other instance to also block comments/users.
User-based instance blocking is actually just hiding posts from that instance. It does not hide or block comments made from users of that instance on posts that are not coming from that instance.
Functional though, you could just open your start menu and find what you wanted immediately instead of typing to search for it like I have been doing for the last 5-10 years
Since at that time these shits weren't really normalized, I can imagine some people would actually like these things and maybe even use them. It would have feel... kinda modern? If that makes sense...
I like this image - it is really nicely done. I don't like what it represents, but the image itself is decent.
Given that this was the prime time for Bonzi Buddy, I'm inclined to say I agree with you. People chose these things years ago, because it added more to the experience outside of "here is your word processor, here is notepad, here are the three games you have to play".
