Who runs their email servers? You can outsource fediverse server hosting too...

Yes. It's been disappearing since before I was born in the 80s, and is mostly gone now.

Mastodon has timed muting, but only permanent blocking.

Some day most people are going to understand that "I want to post something visible to everyone in the world EXCEPT these specific people" is not a viable or reasonable or even possible approach to communication, and any attempts to make it work are doomed to failure.

It's extremely unlikely ... YOU, sure. But it's absolutely certain that legit people will be blocked from contacting from those numbers to hundreds or thousands of other people.

Take everything you feel about this, and apply it to everyone you know who looks down on their peers who don't drink.

I switched to Arch[-based distros] when I realized I had been getting 90% of my support from the Arch wiki for years

most applications on Linux are design / depend on [GNOME's] components

On a film set I would expect anyone in ear protection like that to use the kind with either external sound amplification (mic on the outside, speaker on the inside, so they are headphones) and/or with wireless audio transmission (bluetooth/etc, speaker on the inside, so still headphones)

e.g. https://www.amazon.com/PROHEAR-Electronic-Protection-Bluetooth-Amplification/dp/B07YSM7N97

Since... about a decade ago? Noise cancellation/reduction has been an available feature in earmuffs marketed to firearms users for a while now.

Would you spend an hour fixing a problem that will only save you ten minutes total in the rest of your lifetime using the software?

How did you get from "People often ask" to "having recurring conversations with everyone you know"?

The same way anyone else for whom English is a second or third language function in society.

And, since we don't own or use any Haier appliances, we aren't subject to their TOS.

Most of my motivation here was recurring conversations with friends and colleagues and strangers about how much time I put into making small contributions to open source projects.

I'm going to click the [-] thread collapse button on Lemmy 50 times in the next ten minutes.

That area of the chart is for people with really repetitive jobs/hobbies. There are MANY jobs where you do the same 5-10 minute thing 50x a day.

There are a few results, but not the one I'm looking for, and none like it.

It's not just about openid/identity/authentication. It's also about syndication and subscription. For forums to fill the niche reddit fills, we would have needed much better tooling around things like RSS/Atom, to allow people to see and interact with content from many forums in a consolidated interface.
