Boost should be removed entirely since it's nonsense to boost most things. E.g. even if I liked your comment here, why would I want to "retweet" that (and retweet into what even)? I just want to tell you that I liked it... with an upvote.

PHP with a good Framework, heck yeah. Old-School PHP, oh god no!

Exactly! The answer the kid gave is the "correct" one because it shows a proper reasoning about fractions. While the teachers logic assumes that fractions are some kind of absolute value of measure???

So this is a quick way to ruin the fediverse: Create a The_Donald community on the big instances.

Well the original Lemmy instances where filled with Tankies... So it needs a bit to dilute down the crazy with new people.

My anxiety tells me that I will pretty sure hurt my self if I do that. Break an ankle, landing with the back on some rock...

slow leaks in the cabin or a crack forming

That doesn't happen at that pressure. If something is wrong it just gets completely squished in milliseconds.

Basically imagine a super strong pressure washer, but the water is not just a very thin jet, but instead everything around you.

One trivial way would be to just transfer your subscriptions, onto a new account.

sflix.to
justchill.tv

It can't easily be removed since it needs to send out that information into the federated network. At best the function to quickly see that can be removed from the GUI.

This. I miss the list of things I'm subscribed to that reminds me to check in on some of those communities from time to time.

A billion is nothing on the scale of points 5 and 6 though...

GTA2 and then GTA3. The open world of GTA2 seemed so big, and you could do all kind of random crazy stuff. GTA3 then was the same thing but in 3D!

Also another favourite was Prehistorik Man for the SNES. Was just a neat platformer that wasn't just the "default" Super Mario.

They are kinda right though. An appealing design is important for many people. (Except for some reason people involved in opensource and linux stuff... fite me!)

Also a nicer design doesn't mean that it will be cluttered. You're just creating a strawman there.

Was ist not good? I was considering it for home use, since I very rarely print anything and the 1€ a month would maybe be worth it for a headache-free printing experience.

Well it's war... That's how how things work. What do you want? Every small decision to pass through parliament first?

I still don't see how things will exactly go bad for the existing instances by communicating with Meta instances.
The arguments in this article are "They won't moderate" and "Meta is evil". One is speculative, and one is biased... not convincing arguments to a neutral judge.

The drawback I see is that Meta communities will just be bigger and suck people out of the "nice" fediverse. But not federating with Meta won't change anything about it. If anything it causes harm because existing communities can't profit from the new Meta users joining.

Normal users don't want to spend time to customize! The site should just provide a few reasonable, good-looking options by default...

People aren't like "oh this looks bad, I'm gonna make it look nice", they are more like "Oh this looks bad, so it must be a bad site, I'd better leave".

All those free services I tried, always produce garbaggio results. Where is the actual good stuff?
