I guess that only applies to paywalls that can also be bypassed by 12ft.io, right? I.e. paywalls that open themselves up for indexing by search engines like Bing or Google.

More people should move their accounts off to smaller instances with less load. You can still interact with communities the same way, but have a user experience that is a lot better.

Yes, ideally you‘d want to have a few large communties on each instance and not all topics with a single userbase on one. This not only decreases the load but also prevents scenarios in which a single admin starts to capsule their instance with a large userbase away from the federation.

I think the original Bitcoin proposition had some merit in introducing a new concept and a new type of trustless economy. However probelms in scaling the PoW mechanism and transaction fees make it infeasible for daily use.

99.9% of the other stuff? Never understood why people see value in NFTs. Especially given that they mostly link to image files on someones web server that would point to a 404 page if taken offline.

I really like the default active sorting keeping discussions in older threads alive for longer. The comment sorting also makes it easier to join discussions later on :)

Sounds like a good solution. To make the colors less invasive it could only activate once two different users with the same name comment in a single thread.

Just until someone starts vomiting in places other than the toilet. In many cases it‘s better to be invited than to be the host ^^

I read a LPT on here saying to choose a smaller instance for better performance. The most popular instances are overloaded by the influx of users, smaller instances not as much. And using the federated system you can still suscribe to different communities, comment on posts… all while having a more stable user experience :)

Some of the posts or comments could include personal information. Wouldn’t Reddit be putting itself at risk of a lawsuit by leaving comments intact while executing a GDPR deletion request?

Definetly good advice! :) Thanks you for recommending discuss.tchncs.de
