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.

Wenn du da wirklich einen Vorteil siehst, dann würde mich interessieren, welchen.

Der Nachteil ist nämlich, dass wenn du bei ein paar großen und ein paar kleinen communities subscribed bist, du die kleinen einfach niemals im Feed sehen wirst, weil sie viel weniger upvotes haben. Manche communities, denen man subscribed ist, nie zu sehen, kommt mir wie ein dealbreaker-Nachteil vor, egal was es für Vorteile hat.

To be precise, they were talking about monthly active users in the post, not total user accounts, which you are talking about. Might be that their stats only count people who actually voted/commented/posted something.

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

I would specify a bit, "stupid" is so broad and not really easy to see what's actually going wrong.

People are biased and irrational by default. Beliefs do not require evidence, they are mostly formed just by hearing about things from an authorative voice, e.g. your parents, friends, or the media.

People also are by default all in on a belief, or all out. In their minds, admitting even one good thing about the opposite side is unforgivable treason, admitting just one bad thing about your own beliefs is admitting total defeat.

So if you don't grow up in an environment where rationality is being taught, you're simply not rational and thus fall victim to all these biases.

The same is by the way true also for democrats or whoever is not voting for the fascists. Just their beliefs were filled by other authorative voices around them. True rationalists knowing about their biases and actively trying to work against them and trying to get to the truth are very rare.

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

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.

Subscribe to both, whenever a post in one is made, copy it to the other to receive that sweet sweet karma

I mean, it's pretty easy to calculate, and you'll have to calculate it yourself because it depends on your area. And also what you mean with "decent wage".

• Figure out your "decent wage"
• See what your local tax rate is for one-person-businesses, from that calculate how much money you actually need to make before taxes to get your desired amount after taxes
• divide by 50% (or 70% if you get the new deal) to adjust for twitch's share
• divide by sub cost (5$) to get the amount of subscriptions needed.

So idk, 2000$ is "decent wage" local tax rate is about 30% so 2857.14$ needed, with twitch share it's 5714.28$, divided by 5$ per subscribtion it's 1143 subscribers.

But as has already been said, there are other revenue sources for streamers, so you don't need quite as many subscriptions.
