Looking at their site, GFF does good work on privacy but is almost absent on free expression issues.

Privacy is still an important area to work in, and it's good that they do that, but it's also worth considering their limitations. Don't expect too much from them in that area.

No one expects the new admin problem.

For instance, eBay got a new CEO and then decided to ban NSFW products. Could be worse on the fediverse, if someone is used to certain dynamics with the admin.

Just in case it comes up again.

Reminder that "safety by design" is a euphemism for censorship which an unreasonable foreign politician came up with.

I'm not asking for a whole lot by pointing out bad instances. Just two things:

1) Don't use them.

2) Don't recommend them.

I'm not asking anyone to reform them or whatever.

I'm not asking anyone to not use any particular social network either, because frankly, a lot of the time someone kind of has too.

In fact, I think RMS was almost finished off a few years ago, probably largely because he didn't have a social media presence.

There are people who like to speculate over which character would beat another character, but because the One Punch Man's entire character is a gag, it kind of breaks that.

Will the consciousness of the universe fight him and end up losing?

Is Galactus going to make an appearance just so he can be defeated?

One Punch Man is still going on? What's next? Is he going to defeat God? #anime

I'm also curious about how well the poll functionality is working.

I should have added an option for Space Dragons.

What do you prefer?

You know what, just because I can, let's do a poll.

Which one do you prefer? #anime

It's fascinating how "non toxic" can be co-opted by what are essentially narcissists.

Email addresses are a form of PII which people casually collect all the time, even though they often don't really need to. I'd like to do things differently here.

I don't really want to be collecting lots of PII either.

Email subscriptions are one possible option but it would take a fair bit more complexity, particularly to reduce the probability of a mail provider deciding to just toss the thing in spam. Would readers regularly check emails?

I'd like to have a fairly simple way for someone to subscribe to it (let's hope this doesn't mean federating it, lol).

One of the problems I always ran into when trying to keep up with a few blogs was having to check in on it every day or every week. I prefer to just have the updates flow in as they're made. I figure that others would be similar.

One option might be something like RSS (I'm curious how many folks use things like RSS readers, this is usually a feature which is in demand when someone is building sites). Are there other things which someone might also want?

I'm thinking that if I'm going to target a wider audience (other than just a few developers), then I might have to do something more than just bare minimum theming (even if there is a minimalistic appeal to it).

Then again, quite a few more mainstream themes have been moving towards minimalism these days.
