Initially, yes. They probably relaxed it a bit.

This is my way too. But I default to new and switch to scaled and top-x from time to time.

That would be better, but also put more cost on the users who have been spoiled by decades of someone else paying for incremental access to, storage of and processing of data.

I think that's a mistake, but also the point is that saying users when you mean accounts is lying to yourself. Users here have multiple accounts, I have 7.

Didn't know about that one. Just subscribed!

Those bots got blocked and banned.

Scaled is intentionally promoting communities with fewer subscribers. It's intentionally demoting the most active posts bt demoting any posts from the communities with more subscribers.

Good article. But the trend of the internet it to not use a browser but an app that often emulates a browser.

Isn't that just Mastodon and similar services? I prefer the community url scheme more that the hashtag scheme.

Active accounts is not active users. We shouldn't lie to ourselves. I wouldn't be surprised if the number of active users is half of the active account number.

What's the 5 year running total for Meta settlements of this sort?

Credit Reporting business started before the internet existed, so probably not.

TrueWork exists, but they have a shitty privacy policy.

Thanks, I hate it.

When did that get added? That's great!

Thanks for pointing that out.

But the buttons being too close is still annoying. That's only one example of buttons being too close too. A moderator can ban someone from a community and accidentally appoint that someone as a moderator. And confirmation messages for uncommon actions is just good UX too.

I think there's also a weird and inconsistent mix of buttons shown by default and hidden under a dropdown menu. There are many added clicks to do a lot of things for no gain.

You may not have noticed:

No one is ever satisfied with moderation.

The ability to ignore votes from other instances using an allow list. The ability to ignore votes in communities from unsubscribed accounts.

I see that your not talking about a Lemmy instance but a ui of a Lemmy instance. I think the biggest improvement from a UI perspective is button placement and confirmation messages for actions.

For instance, separate the delete post button from the edit post button and have a confirmation message for deleting a post so mistaken button presses aren't permanently unrecoverable.

Are the the moderator views not what you're asking for here?

This will probably be a good boost to blog/newsletter exposure with Threads users.
