Are you calling the server list on joinmastodon.org "the federation"? Because it's not; it's literally just a list. Nothing about the list tells you about any actual federation between instances. Without a doubt there are instances on that list that are federated with ones not on that list and vice versa. It's not even the only list out there.

This would be a good thing, though I think it's trickier than it appears:

  • How arbitrary are "best before" and "expires on" labels and how do they differ from food to food?
  • How do the labels themselves differ from each other and how to do they differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction?
  • Could acknowledging that "expired" food is still good cause expiry dates to just be extended? How far could they be extended before food actually is dangerous past the label?
  • How does liability work when someone gets sick from "expired" food? Does it change when it's part of a structured donation system?

I remember this issue from Sync for Reddit. It happened on every page that loaded content including the sub/community feed.

Is this a repost? I've seen this exact same post somewhere.

Anyway, SimpleX may not be decentralized OOTB, but can be made to be since their relays are self-hostable. It should be as simple as spinning up an instance and changing the url in app.

The Proton free tier is pretty limited compared to Gmail, in particular for me, you're only allowed 1 label. The basic paid tier opens up a lot more. They definitely want you to upgrade to the paid tier.

Available on desktop device (Windows, MacOS, Linux), because decentralized network may cause high amount of cellular data usage when connecting with nodes.

It looks like SimpleX does have a desktop app, it's just via cli: https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/tree/stable#zap-quick-installation-of-a-terminal-app

IMO the title is incorrect because the common interpretation of getting "burned out" is that of the same individuals of a population losing effectiveness after working hard. The article even likens the term "exhausted" the same interpretation of the phrase:

Altogether, our research suggests that T cells in tumors are not necessarily working hard and getting exhausted. Rather, they are blocked right from the start.

This same quote describes the truth of the phenomenon where it's not individuals getting "exhausted", but cellular signalling permanently altering the expression of T cells to make them less and less effective.

A more correct title would be something like:

Cancer makes every generation of T cells worse than the last

Isn't this a strange article title? The whole point of it is to show T cells don't actually get "burned out" at all. And imo it's not like the real reason is uninteresting.

Why dress the article in the exact thing it's refuting?

I would hope in the future we get a more fleshed out version of multireddits. I think it would be a decent solution since I don't think duplication of communities is a phenomenon that will ever go away.

Joined on one instance, it went away, had to create a new account on this instance.

That's a really annoying issue. Not being able to trust an instance to keep your account alive plants the seeds for a centralization problem in the future.

  3. Comparisons to Reddit are ok. We know the reasons for the differences, but this is just about expressing yourself
