Bots wouldn’t have that many spelling and grammatical errors.

I was using Neeva, a similar service. They shut down last month. People on the Neeva sub[…] Mentioned it. It’s quite a bit better than Neeva ever was.

Yes? An annoyance at worst

Yah. I wasn’t thinking of that as “privacy”, it’s kind of separate, but I can see related. But federating a delete shouldn’t be much more complicated than federating an add or edit. Mostly only an issue if an instance is defederated in between.

That seems pretty minor to me for less than a dozen images, but ok

I never thought of the right to be forgotten aspart of the right to privacy. They always seemed separate.

But technically federating a deletion shouldn’t be more complicated than federating an addition. It would make sense to have the option when deleting an account to nuke all posts as well. It might not be perfect if an instance is defederated in between, but it should be pretty good.

The first and third are just features that will almost certainly come eventually. No worries.

The second strikes me as a really strange expection for public social media. Social media is inherently not at all private. These are all public comments and posts intended for everyone in the world to read. If you have something you don’t want to be public, any social media is the last place to post it.

There isn’t a way to do exactly what you want.

Since you typically do this with your partner, the easiest solution would be for you both to be on the same instance. Then the gray chain link would work fine.

For other random people, use the colored federation star link. That goes to the home instance of the post.

Edit: as per mortonksalt
Another option is to paste the link to another instance into the search on yours. That should bring up the local instance version of the same post.

I don’t think it is. Loading multiple images in the body seems ideal.

I pay for:

• eMail, Cloud storage, VPN (Proton)
• Search (Kagi)
• Anything that takes away advertisements if I do. I loathe ads.

The chain link is what you want. That does exactly what you’re looking for. Not sure why the 404. Some kind of bug.

That’s true, but it’s still a lot less than 8000 subs.

They don’t need to take over all of them. A dozen or two of the largest subs would be plenty. Those with less than a couple hundred thousand subscribers, don’t really matter much.

Absolutely not!

The attention based, advertisement business model is the “original sin” of the internet. If you’re not paying for the product, you are the product. You are what’s being sold. It changes all the incentives for the site. It’s why social media and news media have become so toxic and polarizing.

It’s why Reddit has made every one of it’s unpopular decisions. It made them, to create a better product for it’s customers (advertisers), not because it makes a better experience for us. If we want the best site for us, we need to be the customer. That means we need to be the ones who pay for it.

This is absolutely, undeniably a bad idea.

This might be a dumb question, but I’ve done it myself.

Did you remember to click the save button at the bottom of the settings?

This doesn’t make sense.

How is blocking different than a stronger form of mute? I don’t know what he’s talking about. I’m not sure he knows what he’s talking about.

Here’s the documentation.

When browsing the frontpage or a community, you can choose between the following sort types for posts:

• Active (default): Calculates a rank based on the score and time of the latest comment, with decay over time
• Hot: Like active, but uses time when the post was published
• New: Shows most recent posts first
• Old: Shows oldest posts first
• Most Comments: Shows posts with highest number of comments first
• New Comments: Bumps posts to the top when they receive a new reply analogous to the sorting of traditional forums
• Top Day: Highest scoring posts during the last 24 hours
• Top Week: Highest scoring posts during the last 7 days
• Top Month: Highest scoring posts during the last 30 days
• Top Year: Highest scoring posts during the last 12 months
• Top All Time: Highest scoring posts during all time

I hate adds. I was using Neeva. Just switched to Kagi. After nearly 3 weeks, it looks like 300 searches/month will work for me. So $5 a month is fine.

Interesting. I’ve know of it as the pound symbol, but have never actually seen it used as such. I never put the two together.
