Just to let you know. Most of the blocked instances you see for programming.dev (since your account is here) aren't forums you would normally interact with but are various ones on the microblog side that cause issues (for hate speech, spam bots that have seo spam posted in various threads, cp, etc.). For forums running lemmy and piefed the amount is very low.

    Hey those are various beetleball players (which is a game im a developer for). None of them have fediverse accounts since the game isnt part of the fediverse usually but you can join the discord to see activity relating to it (and each of the people you said there has a discord accoutn with a lot of history you can check) https://discord.com/invite/beetleball

    thought it would be fun to do a design relating to the game so I announced it in the discord and some players signed up and have been constructing it. That design specifically is one of the icons for one of the beetles

    In addition to what grant said. Cursors dont show and arent sent when logged out or when on mobile and are anonymous so people can't tell whos cursor is who. Just a fun thing to add some activity to the canvas and make it feel more like a community instead of you placing pixels into a void
