I was surprised to read that if Reddit had cut their ask in half, that would have workable for Christian. I expected that it would have taken an order of magnitude decrease to make financial sense. It really drives home just how unreasonable Reddit is and how dead set they are to kill all 3rd party apps.

I don’t think user voting in of itself is a problem. It’s the consequences of large negative voting that causes the real problems. In Reddit, a single unpopular comment on a popular subreddit could send a casual Redditor into negative karma which effectively shadowbans them from Reddit. As a result, you see people deleting their comments to stop the bleeding. Controversial opinions are punished severely.

Personally, I found that karma led to self-censorship of any idea that remotely deviated from the group consensus.

I have seen similar issues with lemmy.ml communities from another instance. I believe the cause is server overload at lemmy.ml. Looking at the Lemmy source, if another instance fails to receive a post, it will be retried in 6 seconds, then 1 hour, and finally, 2.5 days. With the great Reddit migration, expect delays in federation until things settle down.

In the Nintendo Switch case, it is not USB-PD compliant as it shipped before the finalization of the spec.

Lemmy v0.17.4 is available. Looks like it adds some performance tweaks:

  • Adds an index on post.url
  • Creates hot_rank columns for post, comment, and community in place of function sorting.

I agree; however, the second point I don't see as Signal specific. In any service, how do you verify that a server is running unmodified open source code? For the vast majority of people, they are also depending upon the client being unmodified.

This is the way!

@[email protected] There is a way!

  1. In the top right, select your user name | Settings.
  2. At the top of the page, there are two tabs: Settings and Blocks. Select Blocks.
  3. The page will have Blocked Users and Blocked Communities where you can unblock.

~~This looks like a bug. If you can find a link to a post in the community, you can unblock it from the post.~~

Found a solution, see next comment.

Yes, it's not ideal. Decentralized key distribution seems to be a intractable problem for mass adoption.
