With the right tools, I’m sure it would also help knowing that an instance could run itself. For example, an instance using a tool to detect suspicious activity and using one of these options instead of something more extreme, like, as you mentioned, defederation.
I don’t think you can go too far with the amount of options for administration. These options sound very useful.
I think the bot can be configured to avoid this, but the way they have it configured definitely creates a lot of duplicates. It’s in the community map section of the config file.
Interesting.
Defederation may be the only solution to the problem without changing the source code to allow for better administration tools.
I can’t either. “Allow” and “block” has always made more sense to me, though, so I wouldn’t mind the change.
The new Downloadables and Server Shop add to Discord’s server subscriptions as ways for creators to monetize their servers. Server subscriptions are getting an improvement, too: the company is adding tier templates to make it easier to decide what subscriptions to offer to your community.
Yes.
This one is a more general store and seems more in line with what some creators already use Discord servers for. Subscriptions for access to content.
I doubt it. Users may already be familiar with these features and would see it a way to make processes more seamless. Server subscriptions would mean you don’t have to go through Patreon.
This sounds like a feature that couldn’t be implemented properly without users being confused. There are different posting rules for each community. It would be too much to keep up with.
I wish the front page had a better distribution of posts from magazines. I do not want to log in to filter out the meme factories.
