Isn't it also just not open to federation at the moment? So the federated/decentralized aspect could just be vaporware and never happen. I don't even begin to take their word for it until it stops being de-facto centralized.

Random thought related to gold, but I wonder if it would be feasible to make some kind of fediverse tipping system that allowed people to give tips that showed up as something gold-like or award-like. Could be neat, but validating the payment when multiple instances are involved could be challenging without getting instances involved with payment gateways and finance regulations. I'm sure it could be done with crypto but that would probably be offputting to most people.
That video has become required watching material / hazing ritual for new roommates. Mostly for the detailed explanation on the importance of pre-wash soap, but also for the tips on preheating the water.
The more anti-consumer shit they pull, the more of my friends I get to join my Plex server, for marginal cost since more users barely means any more used electricity.
The ability to nullify side effects :) I'll be rich as a doctor
It uses the zip archive feature that they allow you to request and export so at least it doesn't use a direct connection or API. I think there is also some EU rule or something about requiring it because Dansup was asking about filing a complaint because of the export format being convoluted or something, not sure of the details but hopefully that means there's some legal weight to the export feature sticking around.
Last I checked, Reddit being "cucked and left wing" wasn't one of the reddit protest complaints.
I also used to cancel often, I would accept 30 day trials and then immediately schedule cancellation for the end (it's really nice that they actually let you do that instead of making you wait until just before the end). They just kept offering 30 day trials so I kept doing that. Nowadays I use ebay as much as possible first, and accept 30 day trials if offered when I have to resort to Amazon. To help make up for it I always make sure to use the included twitch prime sub on a streamer I like, also surprising that prime trials include a twitch prime sub.
I think you can follow a channel and see videos as posts. Then replying to the post shows up as a federated comment. I haven't tried it though.
Not really but sometimes if I need a visualization of something complicated that I can't see in my head I'll go to the network tab under insights in github
Assuming you can block a top level domain and have it apply to all subdomains, doing so would force the troll to pay for another domain to get around the block. That could add up to quite the expense.
I would argue that Mastodon and friends are a "good, healthy, worthwhile place to hang out", at least it really feels that way to me. It seems to have attracted a really wholesome crowd that really delights me considering I'm used to it being less of a crowd but just a handful of techie people hanging out in an obscure clubhouse. All the same people I have followed there are still there yet I now have a buffet of variety to chat with.
