the STIX Two Math font with the ss04 font feature (for proper primes) looks IMHO best in chromium, btw (in Firefox they all look fine). Though it's a really big font, 500kB woff2 file...

The data is definitely public as Skypulse shows. Someone could implement a public read-only bsky interface today. I'm a bit surprised nobody has done it yet, actually.

I imagine the market for no internet is quite small. You can always turn on airplane mode?

(I just send my epubs to my Kindle email address where Amazon converts them for me and then I read them on my Amazon-subsidized Kindle.)

The required minimum age prevents abuse of this feature.

The main idea is that you're allowed to change your mind after 6 months but you might still want to preserve the discussion.

One feature I've always wished for in social networks is the ability to "renounce" a comment/reply without deleting it. E.g., if a comment is more than, say, 6 months old, there should be an option to renounce it such that my name and other identifying information is stripped from it.

right now, there’s no way to negatively respond to something without dunking. this is good for platforms optimizing for engagement, bc every negative response spawns a new post and increases virality. it’s bad if you actually want a protocol that has mechanisms for virality as well as containment.

yes. there’s other ways to deal with even the worst actors. ignore, shun, humorously dismiss, refute. but “bullying” escalates cycles of confrontation that bring out the worst in people. i think bad actors sometimes thrive off the negativity too.
