Brilliant. Thank you.

Neither the article nor the blog post actually explain this, but it's irking me: what are the six territories? The United States has five populated territories: American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the United States Virgin Islands. The United States Minor Outlying Islands include Baker Island, Howland Island, Jarvis Island, Johnston Atoll, Kingman Reef, Midway Island, Navassa Island, and Palmyra Atoll, but those don't have permanent populations. Are they counting Washington, D.C. as a territory here?

It's the other way around, re: having so many users: when you have a good, small community that has effective moderation, you can cover anything in depth. When you have a morass of uninformed opinions, ignorant nonsense, and off-topic jokes that are made just for karma, then your signal-to-noise ratio gets very, very low. This is why one big messageboard is a bad idea and many specialized ones is a good idea. This is just how the Web is supposed to work anyway: it's not supposed to be five websites made up of screenshots of the other four. As you point out, it is by having a relatively small group that has clear and consistent moderation that keeps an individual subreddit good. What would be best is if these were separate websites using their own domains and built on the best free/open code, but Reddit closed source the backend in 2013 in an act of hostility toward the open web. A decade later, they've made it even more hostile as they've also sought very stupid attempts to be TikTok and Clubhouse and NFTs and every other stupid trend in the past few years.

But why is that a good thing? Communities and moderation cannot scale, so when you have 300million members, it always ends up with a lot of dreck and corporate astroturfing. Having a distributed Web undoes this.

I have certainly noticed in the few times that I have tooled around with Pale Moon that I have had that kind of issue. Thanks for clarifying.

Can you explain why this is the reason you would reject Pale Moon or Basilisk?

How is Chromium relevant to Pale Moon? Yes, JPEG XL may be better in every possible respect, except for the high cost of adding support for a new image format in a web browser. Someone may come along and find a new way to include gains in all kinds of media formats, but it results in a lot of browser code bloat and software engineering to figure out how to support 1.) every bleeding edge new audio/image/video/3-D rendering/etc. format and 2.) every legacy format. Browser vendors have to make difficult decisions about if they are going to include one more media format and it is almost never worth the cost.

I have no idea why you are being downvoted for this comment: if websites are openly hostile to web browsers, that is a fundamental problem of the web designer.

Please fix this. Thanks. I love their games. Here's hoping they don't get shuttered in six months.

I poked around and as far as I can tell, they aren't. As far as options on the market now, it's just MNT, Pine, and Librem. Maybe one or two others that are 99%+ open hardware. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Okay, if you have some evidence of whatever it is you're claiming, feel free to post it. Otherwise, you just have bizarre innuendo and misdirection. I'm already an anti-bank person, so I'm happy to read any evidence that Capital One is bad, but if you have none, I'm confused as to why you're even bothering to post and waste everyone's time.

What are you talking about? They got rid of overdraft fees: https://www.capitalone.com/abo...

I responded to the wrong comment. Whoops. Capital One allows you to generate many virtual numbers (dozens? indefinite? infinite?) with some of their cards at no cost.

More than if I were just a lone voice complaining. Why do you think that organizing results in you having *less* power? It's just an absurd thing to write.
