I’m a reddit refugee trying to figure this out. It seems to me like it’s a decent idea to break up countrol like this, but unfortunately there are some inherent problems that mean it might not work in the real world....
Sure it's more practical, but your whole community (as in "people") is now centralized on a single point. If you have a single one "gaming" community, and it disappears or is taken over, you lose everything and need to start over from scratch. If you have 3-4 communities spread across different instances, if one of those communities become unusable, it's easier to abandon it to become active on the next one.
Decentralization is not a silver bullet, but as we've seen during the last year with Twitter and Reddit, it's better than the alternative. Nothing prevents you to subscribe to several similar communities, each with its own flavor, and participate in the one(s) you want.
PRINCETON, NJ—Shedding new light on the shadowy figures lurking around every corner, a study from researchers at Princeton University revealed Monday that the average American has at least three people plotting to kill them at all times. “Our research shows that nearly every man, woman, and child in the country is currently...
The boy scout technique: fix your types when you're working on a bug or a feature, one file at a time. Also try to use unknown instead of any for more sensitive parts, it will force you to typecheck.
Oh that's interesting. I actually have a kbin account (that I rarely use), with the same username, on fedia.io, and also got a notification from your message. Looks a bit buggy 😅
The EU did its job correctly by forcing sites to ask for consent. How that rule is implemented is up to the sites, and they often choose to do it in the most annoying possible way. And then tell you to blame the EU for it.
Also as a website owner, you only need to ask for consent when you use more than "strictly necessary" cookies (https://gdpr.eu/cookies/), i.e. cookies that are needed for your site to function normally.
We know an issue occurred on the site over an hour ago with someone using my account to redirect the site, make fake posts, and change other settings. The problem has been corrected....
Under GDPR if you have had a data breach you have a legal obligation to assess whether you need to report it and you must make the report within 72 hours of discovering the breach.
As an aside, this is why it's no longer possible in 2023 to host a social site as a hobby. Of course GDPR is good, I'm glad it exists, but as an individual, it's not the kind of responsibility I want for my hobby.
Don't play dumb, people are downvoting you because you pretend that seeing a picture of a steak evokes the same feelings as seeing a video of a kitten being tortured to death.
Right. And do you have the same emotional response when seeing a picture of a steak and when seeing a video of a kitten being tortured and then burned alive?
Sure it's somewhat different, it's just the after picture of torture and not active torture
Ok so it's different, got it. For a second I was concerned that ya'll were really getting distressed when exposed to a picture of a meal, in the same way a video of an actively tortured animal would distress most people.
So you know they're different, and yet pretend they're the same to give yourself a moral high ground. Kinda hypocritical. Or do you suffer from cognitive dissonance?
I noticed there's a place in settings that lists blocked domains, the same way there's a place to see blocked magazines, is there a way to add domains to it?...
Same here. I think the only way is to click on the host name next to the title, and block it from here, but I guess I'll wait to be on my home computer to do that...
Edit: doable from mobile: click on the domain, scroll down the list of posts, and click on the "block" icon in the "domain" block.
Doesn't each community being local to each instance split the audience?

This might be just EU thing, but is there an effective way to deal with endless “accept/reject cookies” dialogues?...
