  • I think the community subscription model in the article fixes this (imperfectly). Pancakepurists@a.com can have strict rules while pancakeparty@b.com could subscribe to it and pancakepurists could subscribe back with the understanding that the rules are slightly different there. Pancakechaos@nazi.assholes could similarly link to both those without either having to be mutually interactive.

    I think the problem comes from some increased moderation loads by allowing a community to follow another. If I were to put on my paranoid hat it could be used to monitor and brigade a community. I think the solution for that is moderation tools. Banning instances, federation etc. I’m not a mod anywhere so I don’t know what is possible.


  • Personally I think proposal 2 and 3 should happen concurrently. Using the example in the post I would setup a custom feed (that can hopefully consolidate cross posts) for breakfast. I would put pancakes@a.com which subscribes to pancakemasters@b.com I can also add pancakeart@a.com and waffles@a.com. so when someone posts about the best homemade peanut butter syrup recipe that is cross posted to my pancake and waffle communities, I don’t get 4 posts about it, I can see it once and choose where to reply (pancakes obviously, I’m a waffle purist).

    Community interlinking/subscription fixes a slightly different problem than custom feeds IMO. It’s a really good idea, but I would personally still want custom feeds (with the ability to handle crossposts in a customizable way).









  • Part 1 is the first act, somewhat expanded. The additions are pretty seamless and add a bit to the story. Its been a long time since I saw the play, but there is only one part I was sure wasn’t in the original

    spoiler

    (A Cameo with Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel)

    If you are into the play you would probably like it. I went with my wife and daughters and they loved it. I found it enjoyable enough. As someone who isn’t super into the play, it was paced well, with some good comical elements.
