unfortunately I realized too late that I have had hundreds of saved links to posts and comments from there, so I did not have enough time to save them, but anyways it is interesting that maybe a third of the post links I could try were dead. I think linkrot is happening much faster here than on reddit, even if just counting deleted posts.

Like I said, I can’t force you to see it. The fact that you think it would mean re-engineering the whole platform means you aren’t getting it. It’s almost literally the suggestion of least effort, it’s largely an organizational change that encourages instances not to cope with more responsibility than they can deal with by encouraging decoupling the current structure into two more specialized ones.

You make this about me, but nobody else sees it. As you said, content instance are possible today (admins just have to disable their registrations), but nobody does that.

Cool, I'll come to you to check on the feelings of literally entirely everyone else when I need to. I'm glad everyone went out and got themselves a spokesman. Meanwhile, I'll point you to an earlier mention in my comments about raising awareness.

You shift into completely diametrically opposed claims whenever it seems to suit you and portray a lack of awareness and possibility as consensus in this regard. Is it "trying to re-engineer the whole platform" or is it already "possible today"? There is no use like this because without willingness, people will just set up the instances like they've been told they have and perform slight variations on them. That is no proof or argument against the idea at all from people just following the cookie cutter.

Yeah, this is a shit instance to have a discussion in anyway.
