  • If you see anything…that could be improved, the best option is to make that improvement yourself.

    Are you under the impression that just everyone is a web developer?

    Besides it would be impossible to reach an agreement who this default instance should federate with or how exactly it should be moderated.

    If I may make a proposition: You can look at how Pixelfed allows certain instances that meet certain standards to opt into being listed in the app for discovery, all electronically. My recommendation would be to have 2 choices for users on sign-up:

    1. A random choice from the list of approved instances, that’s rotated periodically to prevent any particular instance from being inundated with new signups
    2. “Choose a different instance” where users can enter their preferred one manually.

    People can’t seem to make up their minds if it matters which instance you join. I really don’t think it does.












  • They could market shaving to women to increase razor blade sales, because now women employees would have money to spend.

    That makes zero sense. Paying people so they can spend a tiny fraction of it back to your company? Why not just keep the money in the first place?

    No, they hire them because they’ve run the math and realized it costs less to hire them than that it costs them in sales due to public perception.
