Not really, it’s just not Reddit

There were a bunch of fake accounts created, and there has been effort to remove them

Same

Yes

I still to this day hate touch only phones and wish I had physical keys again. That being said, I use swipe, and it makes things a lot more tolerable.

Oh lol nope, that would be pretty crazy

Because I get a lot of flexibility from being able to take meetings from my phone. I can go for a walk during a meeting for example

I’m sitting on a Chinese phone hoping the pixel 8 switches to a unltrasonic sensor. It’s really too bad my work doesn’t let me use custom ROMs. Makes me want to get a work phone

Old science, yes. People forget how young modern science is, electricity was only “discovered” less than 300 years ago, the internet only became public 28 years ago, carbon dating isn’t even 100 years old yet, DNA wasn’t even broken down into it’s parts and structure until the 1950s, Einstein’s theory of relativity is barely over a century old. Archeology is hundreds if not thousands of years old, and even modern archeology probably started before the US was even a country

I think we need blocklists that servers can opt into. My fear is that users use Meta’s version because it’s simpler (or appears simpler) and the federation centralizes.

Horizontal scaling of instances is somewhat good enough for me, at least for now

While you’re probably right, I would like to know how it’s going to be handled on a technical level. I would imagine the protocol has to already have support for something along those lines, but I’m too lazy to go look and understand for myself. Maybe in a week or two if I don’t know it I’ll start looking at the sauce code

Miata is always the answer

My only hesitation is, how does it scale? There might be a good answer, but I can’t seem to find it. If a specific page gets excessive popularity like /r/memes, is the entire burden of hosting that left to one instance? And can that load be shared somehow, either by adding more physical servers or getting help from other instances?
