Removed by mod

I don’t think you were making this argument, but I want to highlight that data is not morally neutral. Google Maps drives even less customers to stores that are smaller, and already have difficulty getting customers.

I’m pretty sure that if everything would have been EE2E on Telegram it would never have reached the size and popularity that it has.

I don’t know what you’re saying here because it makes no sense. No one who uses or shills for Telegram thinks lack of EE2E is a good thing, absolutely no one. They use it despite of lack of EE2E (ignorance or ideologically-flavored ignorance).

So you’re running a website, and nerdctl’s IPFS support let you serve your website over IPFS?

Being anonymous isn’t incompatible with helping people

You’re missing the point I’ve made completely.

Do people create mods for games or create open source software solely for recognition?

They can’t gain recognition, uploading anonymously. But if someone purely wants the crack for the game to exist they could do it

Whether that would be worse than running Denuvo malware is up for debate lol

I don’t buy this. It’s easy to upload files anonymously.

I think the UI, instead of just bringing the posts up without explanation, should show you how many new comments the post received. It would be great for keeping tabs on a discussion, too.

The Reddit Enhancement Suite stores a cookie that remembers the number of comments when you visited a post. It’s a killer feature.

A more modern UI example:

Like, posts are old because there’s little new content

Yeah, but you could be underestimating the effect of the Active sorting bumping old posts, which leads to a few posts threads rising over and over. Perhaps there’s more eagerness to make new threads than you can see, because most of those new threads don’t spark the fire of discussion and get quickly buried.

Active sorting is more like 4chan, Hot sorting is like Reddit or HN.

Yup this doesn’t seem robust at all. Any message anchor= just points to a message UUID, which means there is a page, showing adjacent messages, for every message. The pages are mostly duplicates.

The pages are plain html, so yeah? Now I’m unsure if search engines can really scrape the entire post history because pagination is done with anchors, I’m not sure how robust anchors are.

An anchor looks like this: https://view.matrix.org/room/!OGEhHVWSdvArJzumhm:matrix.org/?anchor=$c2Qx9k8CB4WBrNsIxW4WxlZ1MqBvYS-tfGFsA7QkxMg&offset=60

I agree. If they’re used solely as any other public forum. The problem is it supports the ecosystem of these platforms’ faux private chats. Also if you have to create an account to view a public chat why not make it encrypted all the way? Matrix.org supports encrypted rooms.

It’s also ridiculous that you have to give a phone number to use any “type of public forum”, telegram.

Telegram is no more secure than any other for-profit platform it claims to be an alternative to.

A service like letterboxd, myanimelist, and goodreads, that unifies all these mediums and more, into one single media tracking site with individual user profiles and off that, on the side, some social-networking. As of today, there’s no site for tracking ALL media, rather only many sites focused on a single medium, each with ad-hoc databases and different UI:

• Film (IMDB, letterboxd)
• Anime (myanimelist, anilist, kitsu)
• Games (mobygames, glitchwave?)
• Literature (goodreads, bookwyrm (federated!)
• Music (rateyourmusic, …)

If I’d just like to keep track of media I consume I can just keep one big offline spreadsheet, but what I enjoy of these services is the ability to make friends with similar tastes and being introduced to amazing art through personalized recommendations, that I otherwise would’ve never known about.

Apart of being fragmented, most of the aforementioned available media tracking services sell user’s data and are proprietary. I guess I’d like to see something like bookwyrm, but with a larger scope than just books. Maybe integration with Wikidata is the only viable solution for the herculean scope of cataloguing every media release that ever existed. Not sure how this would turn out in practice, but Wikidata could benefit too, from having legions of people adding info on their favorite obscure shows.
