I don’t think your assumption on how well I understand how the professional world works is correct.

I understand very well that signing any NDA is by no means “zero risk”, it has a definite risk attached to it. Declining it is costly in some way, but also has definite advantages.

I also understand that very rarely is the phrasing ever “this conversation will be off the record”, but rather some phrasing including the specific topics that may not be shared, like you say for example, product details. Blanket phrasings like this are always very sketchy.

Stop using “All” “Hot/Active/Top” feeds and go search for actual content communities you want, by browsing the community lists, searching for your interests, or looking at new. Then just go to “Subscribed”.

This is not a proper talk by meta that you could just “hear them out”. They explicitly said off the record and confidential, there’s no reason for that if it’s something innocuous. There 100% would be an NDA involved.

The fediverse is all about being open, starting with an NDA is definitely not “zero risk”, you can not slip up ever, or you’re going to be destroyed by lawyers, this is the exact opposite of “zero risk”.

You could just make a simple duplicate email check with special special handling of gmails + and . behavior, and notify the user if they try to create an account for an already registered email.

There should be no vote, it should just be decided between the lead devs. Users will follow and largely not care.

It’s not really about the confusion, it’s just unnecessary complexity. Magazines and communities for example are completely equal concepts, the only difference is the name for some reason, probably marketing or some such.

I don’t think it’s even close to the same. It’s more like forum software everywhere calls a post a “post” and a reply a “reply” and not something else.

Both sites are link aggregators, both sites have sub groups that are meant for a specific topic that links can be posted to, this concept should have a name.

Yep, clients/UIs need to detect links to other instances and automatically reformat them to instance-local links. Configurable and indicated cleary that this happened, with a clickable icon next to it and resulting popup or some such.

Yeah honestly I’ve seen so many posts with multiple paragraphs explaining federation, while I’ve just been telling my friends two sentences like “it’s just like reddit but instead of one website there’s multiple independent ones (called instances) that all see each other’s content. All content on all those instances can and should only be accessed through the website you signed up on, and when you do that it works basically completely like reddit”

This leaves out a bunch of information of course, but if they want more, they can always be confused and ask or look it up themselves.

Do you know kbin developers political views?

And it will work, since many people can’t distinguish decent behavior and trying to completely selfishly signal decent behavior without actually wanting to do anything.

I’ve always just copy pasted the URL from the adress bar, much easier and worked every time so far.

The rival platform is “Kick” in case anyone wants to not open the article but still wants to know which it is.

Nope, never happened to me in 10+ years of usage, except when completely reinstalling after wiping everything.

Ah yes, /r/technology, the only technology subreddit on reddit. There certainly has never existed a https://www.reddit.com/r/technews/, or / https://www.reddit.com/r/technewstoday/ or a bunch of more technology subreddits. No. Of course there ever only was /r/technology. No fragmentation whatsoever on reddit.

I mean user data can very much be completely inferred from API calls. It’s not about the user data itself, it’s about being able to say to advertisers “all our users will see your ads”.

I mean in this case, you can decide between some theory based on no information at all but unaffiliated, or based on all information but biased.

There’s still a good chance that the downtime is unexpected, downtime in general is never good for a site that earns money by people being on it.

So I think the “unexpected” case is still more likely than it being intentional.
