Shadow banning… one of the most Orwellian moderation tools ever.

User caps might be a good way to decentralize and ensure that we don’t end up with just a few mega-instances. If there were a page showing available instances with percent of max users then people could use that when selecting.

Since communities (aka subreddits) are hosted on different servers (instances) I thought I would need a separate account on each instance to be able to post them (kept getting “not logged in” message).

Once I actually read the instructions everything was good. One account (choose the instance you want) and then use search … but you must enter the remote instance url exactly as written… no wildcats or anything.

TIL a new verb

I spent a few hours searching for communities that matched my reddit subs. So far there’s not too much there but I’ll certainly try to do my part to change that.

I closed my Facebook account in 2016 and haven’t looked back. Hoping I feel the same about Reddit
