  • Exactly!

    It’s not about Totalizing Enforcement. What it changes is the cultural norm. Not right away but over time.

    An age limit on alcohol never stopped anyone of any age to acquire alcohol, but it sets the societal bar for what’s acceptable. You don’t wanna be the parents that gave your kids alcoholic beverages at 13.

    It’s always a little jarring how everyone very readily believes that the Scandinavian countries are the happiest in the world, but won’t believe that the incremental policy changes we implement here have any effect 🤷‍♂️









  • One thing that seems to go unappreciated in the comments is the simplicity of this interop proposal: It is essentially about enabling quote-posting of link-aggregator(Groups) posts.

    Bluesky + Frontpage will work this way, and I believe it’ll work exceedingly well. If the ap-net corner of the fediverse isn’t interested in this kind of interop, fair enough. To me however the promise of seamless interop between my social apps was what brought me to the fediverse, so that’s the version of the fediverse I will pursue.




























  • I’d strongly prefer this be optional, so I can turn it off. I’ve never been a fan of these ‘half-way’ transitions; it’s one of the main reasons I preferred Photon over Alexandrite.

    I also don’t want infinite scrolling, because having to click for more content makes me more aware of my screen time.

    Nonetheless, it’s a cool feature that’s probably useful to many people :)
