Like most buzzwords, gaslight has lost its meaning.

Gaslighting is convincing someone that they perceived or remembered things incorrectly. That's a very specific kind of manipulation.

The silver lining here is that the world has gained an extremely compelling argument for regulations.

The fragmentation of communities needs to be addressed. The fact is that most people just want to consume content. There needs to be a client-side solution that helps less tech-savvy users to more easily consume content from similar communities.

I personally like the duplicates because different communities have different comments.

Make it user specific. Feeds are combined solely from the individual user's perspective. Consumption would be easier but submissions are still federated.

If the mods are gone, then large subreddits become a legal liability.

Is it really? I feel like people in war torn countries have more important shit to care about. This might be another instance of "terminally online person being offended on someone else's behalf"

Advice on choosing between two things that are only marginally different.

I don't know how things are today but when I was a kid, some of my textbooks and many of my worksheets were in comic sans.

Or just make it user-side. Let users create their own feed combinations. They'd still have to select a specific instance for posts.

Feeds would be consolidated but posts and comments will still be federated. And one user will be unaffected by how another user organizes their feed.

Shit I might just try this out. I hope my colleagues don’t notice.
