The main event here was pretty interesting, but I’d just like to say that
It asked me for my name and Whatsapp mobile number.
Why not just the mobile number. Do they also operate drive-ins that only accept BMWs?

The thought was that it’d be closer to that, than the 12 times larger suggestion.
And yeah, I was definitely only taking hosting costs into account, because every instance is maintained by volunteers. I was also only thinking about large instances that benefit from economies scale and smarter management.
I took a quick glance at that thread, will have a more thorough pass later.
with more than $1-2 per year. ;)
More than my own share for sure, regardless of the result of the other argument.
why don’t you wish that everyone did the same?
I do. But a paywall adds a considerable barrier to entry.
Well, at this point I would like to point out that I religiously avoid paying anything to hostile services, and that I do support the small independent instance I’m on.
Well, I guess it’s priorities. Destroying Big Tech would be pretty nice, but I’m really just here for the community.
Per user? There are instances running on like $10/mo virtual servers with maybe the same amount spent on storage.
I actually kind of enjoy the “scrappy diy effort niche” thing.
I think a dollar or two per year would suffice if all users paid it.
Spambot
I’m guessing these are all just very recent.
Message admins if reports don’t work
“The instance of the person who posted it” seems to be reasonable for comments, but not the thread.
I think it is not only reasonable, but better this way. The canonical server is the one the post originates from. Each server is responsible only for its own users and their content.
I don’t see any difference between posts and comments either. Why is one ok and the other not?
Here’s a portion of detroit:
The city is almost entirely grid, some of it at an angle. You can see these two grids visualized in the post.
Oh, that’s cool.
New posts and comments should always propagate if at least one user is subscribed to the community. Otherwise not.
For old content:
That’s a pretty cool feature.
Are those test pads on your phone?
Since it is not planned to crawl federated instances community catalog
Isn’t that issue about crawling content?
Also, the devs have mentioned fetching community lists before, unless I remember wrong.
I got kind of excited about the mention of the “social” aspect, but it turned out a bit nonexistent. Funkwhale seems to be just a way to set up a file sharing site for music.
I know it’s dominant, but it just sucks. To go back to the previous analogy, Whatsapp should have a monopoly on communication as much as BMW should have a monopoly on transportation.
