Also in Aus here, using ISP DNS, not blocked. I think what you generally find is that most ISP’s just don’t do the DNS blocks, even if they’re required to. Like you said, it’s very easily circumvented and also it just doesn’t lead to any measurable outcome other than the ISP customer’s dissatisfaction in some cases. It’s probably more profitable to retain the customers and deal with whatever regulatory blowback.

That’s the box I used too. I looked into it a bit further and I think possibly the issue is the community/magazine you were searching for had not been subscribed to before by a user on your home instance. In that case the instance has no index for that community/magazine and you need to manually point it toward the instance it’s on. But once this is done the community info is cached in the search for any user on that instance looking for that community later on. I guess once the ecosystem is mature then provided you’re on a relatively populated instance and the community you’re searching for isn’t too niche, you could just go to the community search first and it’d work most of the time.

They show up fine in the communities search for me. https://i.imgur.com/iHO4wIP.png

It’s just human nature, simply complacency. At times when doing business is generally more difficult, why produce more when you can produce less and charge more? On a long enough timescale in current conditions, every business will do it eventually.

This is what has just been happening with Cal-Maine eggs for example. Exaggerating about supply chain pressures and arbitrating prices to cover production slowdown was just the easiest thing to do in the circumstances. It isn’t until much later when the earnings reports come out with no substantial supply chain interruptions to mention that people start to realize what’s going on, and by that point they’ve already siphoned hundreds of millions more from the public than the circumstances warranted.

Egg prices are dropping now. Why? There’s been no recent change in cost indicated in Cal-Maine’s production. The only recent news regarding their operations is the release of that earnings report. It’s as if public knowledge about their record profits is somehow affecting the price of the commodity they produce?
