I’m glad I never got into cryptocurrency. For all intents & purposes, it might as well be Monopoly money.

And when I switch from Local to All, the thing just keeps slapping stories onto the top of the feed while I’m trying to read, makes the site impossible to use.

Definitely needs a fix!

I remember reading Bluesky’s blurbs about tagging services (that’s apparently a thing with the AT protocol). For example, the SPLC could operate a tagging service, which can tag instances, communities, individual users, threads, etc. with an SPLC-certified “HATE” tag, and server admins could set their instances to automatically delete or block anything with that tag, and users can automatically block anything with that tag.

Nice thing is that in accordance with decentralization, if a tagging service gets overzealous, or gets compromised by bad actors, it’s easy for users to move elsewhere.

I’m making my transition a somewhat gradual one. I’ll still be on Reddit, in the more esoteric subs, though I feel dirty every time I go there. As all the cool kids migrate over, I’ll spend less time there and more time here.
