Agree completely. I was thinking about keeping the upvote/downvote but just using them for content ranking, but hide the actual scores in the UI. Then its up the instances to decide if they want to show it or not.
True though you can always post from a new account. If I had a long post history on reddit Id avoid too personal stuff because there was too much identifiable information already
Thats true, my guess is instances end up being more specialized. Instead of every instance trying to be reddit, an instance becomes a gaming community, another a movies and tv shows, etc
Absolutely. And as much as I am saying this, I would love to see a proven alternative to massive corporate tech. I worked at one of these companies before, and I despise the them with a passion
Really? I had my reddit account for 10 years, I dont think a single person remembers/recognizes my "identity". With smaller communities people actually knew eachother. Your name actually meant something.

I am not sure I follow. I don't see where trust comes in when you're just reading random people's posts. I guess if you wanted to do moderation or something.
But I know a lot of people including myself purposely delete their reddit account and start over.
I understand what you're saying, but like what makes you autistic if you went your whole life being completely functioning and no one else being able to point you out and being like "oh that guy, hes definitely autistic"
All the accounts and posts can communicate/share across the instances, but each instance has its own database of posts.
The example people give is that is like email. You can have licenensedtoill@gmail but you can send messages someone @yahoo.
You dont have to create a seperate account for each instance. And on whatever instance youre on you can browse and post on communities of any other instance.
Theres definitely some work to be done to make this all more intuitive though
I still don't understand what autism is. Surely by now I met lot of people who were diagnosed with autism, but everyone seems normal to me. Maybe I am the autist
