What is the max lines in a single file for a developer "to get fired" at your company?
The company has a shell script running in Cron. If it finds a source file with more than 1000 lines it deletes the author from the payroll.
The author is entire team.

Yup, creator of Aether here. Small difference, this is federated, Aether is decentralised. Far as I understand this is more like Mastodon where some people host servers that talk to each other. Aether is more like a decentralised Usenet, every user is a server.
Can you explain the 6 month thing to me? If I understand correctly, posts/comments older than 6 months get deleted, unless you decide to save it locally? Even if someone saves a post older than 6 months locally, others cannot see it, right? That does not seem like a feature to me, and completely breaks geteather imo, sadly. Most of the good content on reddit is older than 6 months. Imagine if reddit decided to delete…
It's in keeping with the project's philosophy of being ephemeral.
There are other tools for recording information for posterity.

Excellent answer.

#65Serious question: from a user perspective, isn't spam going to be insanely bad in the Fediverse? How do you stop spam without a central authority?
Federated bayesian filters or local machine learning ? You could have a personal (stored on device) Bayesian filter that learns from your preferences, and a shared one to block spam spotted by your contacts As other people suggested, I don't think it should be at the node operator level, for freedom of speech concerns
Don't know why you are being downvoted. Thunderbird was marketed as having a bayesian filter a decade or more ago.

#67One suggestion: if you want the federated crowd to jump on board, then choose another font provider than Google, which uses their font links for tracking.

Well, for a start... having a single file called "server.rs" which is 2256 lines long is already disqualifying. This file, code structure would be incredibly poor for developer efficiency. It just grows and grows and does all the things while having a vague sounding name like "server.rs" Why is server.rs doing "EditSite." What does the name EditSite mean anyway? Poor code reuse, same bits of code copy and pasted all…

I do have to say, 2k lines for a single file is scary sounding to me. It would probably make me consider splitting it up.
BUT, sometimes things to just logically belong together and having one file to find them is just easier.
It's a rediculous metric to use.

> Large instances like Mastodon.social are generally blocked tho (if your admin/democracy cares about a vibrant Fediverse). Ah, so you achieve vibrancy by .. blocking a large number of the users?
Honestly, I think this is the wrong way of looking at things. The Fediverse isn't really like a single social network that's shattered amongst many instances ... it's more like a bunch of individual, separate hangouts, in the vein of classic forums and IRC chatrooms and fandom websites, which have the ability to talk to each other and share stuff if they want. It's not so much about "blocking" mastodon.social as not…
This sounds awesome. How do I find these smaller and more diverse communities?
