Does the Fediverse not allow closing out threads after a while? I just assumed they had an "age out" feature.

Once something ages out it could be dumped as static data basically and compressed even.

Does PA allow for recalls? hah, big oof.

Keeping more of the history is probably a good thing if we want to replace Reddit. Think of all the homelab/server posts you've used that are over a year old. Good info can last a while.

Agree, it's happened to me too, answer is post the question on Lemmy instead! This time those ass hats can't take it away.

I'll give it a try later, but I think Google broke that in the current version of Android unfortunately. I personally have to use "Better Open With" and some odd assortment of settings to get some control back.

Why did Google Chat implement XMPP initially (with federation even), only to then destroy it later?

[–] sedawk 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks! I actually had somehow missed that.

You're right, it is, but there are some folks who want nothing more than to burn down what you built. In the real world those people get physically dealt with, but in the virtual world where there's no means of physically restraining someone, what's your alternative?

Oh God, how did I not see that reference (Lemmy ➡️ lemming) sooner kek.

[–] sedawk 15 points 1 year ago

Yikes. That's a pretty big issue to overcome.

It's only the "alternative" until it suddenly isn't. If Reddit truly isn't profitable then it will die faster than we all thought possible.

Yes! How do you even search for a community in Jerboa?
