fediblock 

admin of another instance had asked me whether I was against fediblock. I said:

> as a psychology student I'm very much against fediblock. especially the 'guilt by association' fediblock that is done preemptively for entire instances.
> it's detrimental for young people. they never have to reflect or defend their positions. it creates echo chambers that radicalize and dehumanizes everyone outside as 'the other'. this is a breeding ground for -isms.

they did not respond but blocked brotka.st
> admin is publicly against fediblock; therefore, no real moderation policy on the instance.

I hear the English have started deluding themselves that "it's coming home".
Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. I wish you all the luck in winning the World Cup. But don't be foolish in raising your hopes yet. From what I remember, it didn't go well for you last time.

I wonder how much disk space is wasted in the entire world on just images that get reuploaded on different sites.

The efficiency autism in me wants so bad that any individual image only needs to be uploaded once online, and then people can just embed that original one natively into their social media posts, or when they use it as an avatar, or whatever else.

Instead of uploading an image for your post, have a textbox to paste a direct URL, and have the site just incorporate that into it's HTML, instead of the link to the local database you'd have for a typical upload.
This would obviously have security issues, but that efficiency obsessed part of me demands this must be done, no matter the price.

Or just bring back forum embeds.

Has anyone checked if Kanye West ever tried to enter an art school?
