It’s an interesting one. I want access to non publicly listed investments, but I have unfortunately lost money in funds that tried it.
To do it, you either need a closed fund, or something kind of buy/sell restrictions to force long term investment.
The only reason I want a limit that high is to be able to book a group holiday on it. (With people I trust to pay me back). So much less stressful (and lucrative if you have a rewards card)
It depends who you are trying to hide from. A VPN will hide your internet traffic from your ISP/phone company, but obviously not from the site you are visiting.
At best you might be one of may people connecting from the same (VPN) IP address, but they can still collect info from your browser/app etc to generate points to ID you if they want.
Version desyncs too, even when we have the exact same (small) modlist. You spend at least 45 mins getting everyone onto the same hash.
If anything, it’s way easier to control what your employees see if they are on a company instance.
…that was entirely my point.
Also, which company uses Reddit as their forum?
lots of small apps, orgs, communities etc just have a subreddit and a discord server. Lots of bigger companies have official or semi-official subreddits.
We’re all a big community. I think people get this quickly.
Someone wanting to get support for their hoover or something may not. they create an account to discuss the pros and cons of certain hoover and see loads of random stuff about American politics and Linux. Their going to get real confused. Most people have heard of reddit now though (and to a lesser extent discord)
In fact defederation is a negative since now you have to worry about new signups, moderation, etc. While in a federated instance, you can leave moderation to other instances and only allow team/company members on your instance.
They are going to moderate their communities, if its unfederated, you don’t have to worry about moderating (or the lack of) on any other instances communities at all.
Users can sign up on other instances and still be able to interact with your instance for support, help and other stuff.
Thats going to be too confusing for a lot of users - they just want to sign up and complain about/discuss things.
It depends if they are saying, we have a community on lemmy (federation fine) or saying, here is our official forum thing (federation bad)
Possibly, is Mbin basically a single instance like kbin was?
If you are a company looking for a forum, you want to be able to control it. Unfederated means you can control account access and don’t have to worry about someone going to All and seeing porn etc.
Federated could work, but you need to make it clear that it’s just a community on a platform.
You could force latest comment sort on the posts, but leave the comments sorting to the user.
The Reddit style voting/threading is superior of forums though.
An unfederated Lemmy instance for example would actually be really good.
Is there an alternative app that offers a centralised account service but with user hosted servers?
Their problem is probably that they actually took too long to monetise it.
Before Discord, groups were often paying for hosted team speak, ventrilo or mumble servers. Then along came discord with it’s VC money and did what they did and more for free. Now most people probably are not willing to pay for what used to be a paid service.
I’m not sure about the revolvers ‘subsidising’ the transactors though? Yes, those not using reward cards are getting screwed by the higher shop prices, but it’s not like banks would be losing money on the transactors. Why would banks subsidise them over…just making more money.
Here is an interesting read on the topic of credit card reward programs: https://www.bitsaboutmoney.com/archive/anatomy-of-credit-card-rewards-programs/
If you have a 50mb/s connection, surely someone sending you 100mbs of data would fill your line? The firewall is on your router, so the line to it would be maxed?

I think the designs all end up as big combined wing aircraft to give more storage. Can work, but so many new techs and challenges that no one is really investing in it…
Airport expansions like at Gatwick and Heathrow in the UK (both very contentious) should have carbon caps to encourage investment in this kind of stuff.
Drop a question in your instances meta community
…Is the description anything to do with the image?
Some instances restrict image uploads because of people uploading… Unsavoury images.
You should be able to link to an external image site.
Webassemby is still limited to a single thread as far as I’m aware, so it’s not a full runtime for the language you are writing in as anything using threads behind the scenes tends to fall over unexpectedly at runtime.
Its also an absolute bastard to debug (young ecosystem)
