No. You need to explicitly connect in most fediverse apps. They're like browsers

  > No. You need to explicitly connect in most fediverse apps. They're like browsers It's pretty egregious to ban an app like that. Still, I wonder if an innocuous default server (or set of them) might smooth things over with Google. That would increase the friction of accessing the content they don't like. Android's also relatively open, so if they only have issues with specific servers, maybe the app could just drop a text-file blocklist on the filesystem that a user could tecnically edit to change it (but just not via the app).

    Appeasement isn't a good option here either when the ban is irrational at face value to begin with.

        True, and I do empathize, but it's not like this risk was ever unclear.
