  • I never thought of the right to be forgotten aspart of the right to privacy. They always seemed separate.

    But technically federating a deletion shouldn’t be more complicated than federating an addition. It would make sense to have the option when deleting an account to nuke all posts as well. It might not be perfect if an instance is defederated in between, but it should be pretty good.


  • The first and third are just features that will almost certainly come eventually. No worries.

    The second strikes me as a really strange expection for public social media. Social media is inherently not at all private. These are all public comments and posts intended for everyone in the world to read. If you have something you don’t want to be public, any social media is the last place to post it.








  • Absolutely not!

    The attention based, advertisement business model is the “original sin” of the internet. If you’re not paying for the product, you are the product. You are what’s being sold. It changes all the incentives for the site. It’s why social media and news media have become so toxic and polarizing.

    It’s why Reddit has made every one of it’s unpopular decisions. It made them, to create a better product for it’s customers (advertisers), not because it makes a better experience for us. If we want the best site for us, we need to be the customer. That means we need to be the ones who pay for it.

    This is absolutely, undeniably a bad idea.

    Here’s the documentation.

    When browsing the frontpage or a community, you can choose between the following sort types for posts:

    • Active (default): Calculates a rank based on the score and time of the latest comment, with decay over time
    • Hot: Like active, but uses time when the post was published
    • New: Shows most recent posts first
    • Old: Shows oldest posts first
    • Most Comments: Shows posts with highest number of comments first
    • New Comments: Bumps posts to the top when they receive a new reply analogous to the sorting of traditional forums
    • Top Day: Highest scoring posts during the last 24 hours
    • Top Week: Highest scoring posts during the last 7 days
    • Top Month: Highest scoring posts during the last 30 days
    • Top Year: Highest scoring posts during the last 12 months
    • Top All Time: Highest scoring posts during all time
