re: static content

How does authentication factor into this? even if we exclude marketing/tracking bullshit, there is a very real concern on many sites about people seeing the data they’re allowed to see. There are even legal requirements. If that data (such as health records) is statically held in a blockchain such that anyone can access it by its hash, privacy evaporates, doesn’t it?

the most important things will be preserved naturally.

I believe this is a fallacy. Things get preserved haphazardly or randomly, and “importance” is relative anyway.

wait, I’ve never used quora. whats bad about it

Maybe because I’m using Jerboa, but it feels slower to me. Jerboa has many issues though

I’ve had a hard time finishing the game because of #2. DE is such a weird blend of “the devs thought of everything” and “all conversations are railroaded into insanity”. What at first felt like a game allowing the player to explore and develop political views in an alternate universe is actually more of a hamfisted, cynical parody of all possible idealogies. I think the moment I got South Park vibes (not from the writing, but from the " everyone is stupid " vibe) is when I was doomed to never finish it. That said, I actually love so much about the game, I want to enjoy and finish it. I just find it so tiring.

Their quest/story writing has definitely fallen off a cliff but I think it’s done to serve their bad game design. Or it goes hand in hand. Frankly I just don’t think Skyrim or FO4 were particularly good examples of the genre and probably won’t buy more Bethesda RPGs, but we’ll see.

that doesn’t really hold because Wikipedia does not struggle with funding in the sense you’re thinking: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/wikipedia-millions-bank-beg/

so, survival doesn’t necessarily have to be at stake

I’m having the opposite experience. I feel like it’s already so active here I can’t keep up in bigger communities like this one.

in many ways AH is one of the highest quality and most valuable subreddits on the site. it’s such an important organization that really should live on outside of reddit, but obviously it only got so big because it was part of that ecosystem. I think I might mourn AH more than my smaller niche subs even though I don’t go there often if it does end uo disappearing. I really hope they can migrate successfully somewhere else.
