  • The narratives you mention in your last para are completely true, that’s what annoys me, IF they had engaged in good faith with users. As it is, it’s like a shopping centre that’s been free to enter saying “right, it’s now €100 to enter and any underwear shops are closed to you unless you wear our uniform.”

    Just completely crazy prices for a poor service. No shit that’s unworkable. Just be honest and say you want to bring those users in-house, just fucking say that rather than trying to gaslight everyone into believing that all these competent developers are all unreasonable arseholes who are screwing you, a multi-billion-dollar corporation over.













  • Don’t sweat it. You’d have to create a profile on each instance and then create all of the subs on each. And some have decent bot protection, so that is tougher. Then if they’re not active and you want one, start/find it on your home instance and petition your home instance’s admins for mod control. They’ll probably see whats going on and cut that power(-crazy) user off.

    It’s not like Reddit where there’s only one version of a community. It’s a double-edged sword, this feature, but in your case it’s a clear benefit.







  • I have to say I’ve never seen people let their water sit or boil it, and I’ve been all over the place since 2010 in Spain. I know for hard (not heavy :)) water you can install (expensive) systems between the incoming water and your taps that can soften it, but I don’t know how common they are. I would drink the tap water from any town in Spain without a second thought. Wouldn’t you? A finca in the countryside, I might be sceptical, or a service station in the middle of nowhere, maybe not, but any “built-up” area, for sure.
