That’s awesome. I just got access to the beta and this is actually my first comment using it. Thank you for your hard work.

This is a great read for getting some historical context.

What boards really needed it?

Which instance? Surely they haven’t blocked them all?

Christ, what instance did you sign up on? Lemmygrad?

I tried the thunder app for lemmy and was disappointed to see it showed a total “karma” number. I’d been enjoying not having a running total. I like seeing my comments and posts get appreciated but I see no need for it all to add up.

I don’t want people to claim I’m trying inflate my imaginary internet number again.

No they’ve just starting removing mods directly.
