This is a suggestion thread now I guess!

Don't take this the wrong way, I love this website, and I frequently share posts from here to try and subtly indoctrinate my friends to once again try fedi.

Embed links don't look the most attractive, with images it's so itty bitty you cannot see it.

With content warning posts there is nothing to look at at all.

I do enjoy sizable embeds :) for posts with content warnings you can get pretty creative making embeds for them, but I definitely wouldn't like what Bluesky has right now and ignore the content warnings entirely. I don't know how possible this is, I learned web design in my free time…

Also, a "preview post" button!

Exclusive: how the Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg got added to the White House Signal group chat

"According to the White House, the number was erroneously saved during a “contact #suggestion update” by Waltz’s iPhone, which one person described as the function where an iPhone #algorithm adds a previously unknown number to an existing contact that it detects may be related." 😂

Here's my latest Science Fiction book:

In a future shaped by genetic engineering, humanity wields the power to modify its very essence—heightening intelligence, perfecting bodies, and erasing disease. But this privilege comes at an astronomical price, leaving the poor, known as "The Lower," trapped in an unchanging fate while "The Above" continue to evolve, widening the chasm between them.

dear #DuckDuckGo or other search engine: I want a little button next to every #search result that lets me exclude it from all search results for me, personally, forever. With an option to block the entire domain.

I'm definitely looking at #pinterest but there's just a lot of #AI slop out there. Tons of AI-generated websites. Even without the AI search "helper" things, I get a lot of shit that is just really low quality.

I don't think I see this witih DDG (there is a "give feedback" button with unclear effects on my personal search experience) and I'm not familiar with many other search engines now (except google and no). But if there's something out there that already has this functionality, I'll be happy to check it out and happy for the referral.

"Meanwhile, corporate media asks, “Can he do that?” These stories are engineered to distract the public with technicalities. While everyone’s debating what they can and can’t do, they are doing it.

We know this administration’s pattern of loose interpretation when it comes to law and historical precedent. There’s no reason to believe he’ll stop here, instead using this act to use force against anyone his administration considers a threat, regardless of their status or what they’re protesting.

You also have to remember this country has a long, established history of censoring speech and leading witch hunts. During WWI, god help you if you didn’t buy enough liberty bonds or called yourself a pacifist.

We’re the land of moral panics.

Every single one of this administration’s actions have been building toward this moment, when the president suspends our civil and human rights. It explains why they’ve taken such aggressive action toward federal agencies, firing tens of thousands of workers and purging their ranks of anyone who might say no. They’ve already been testing boundaries, daring courts to stop them as they shut down government operations and kidnap U.S. citizens."

I currently run/moderate a discord server with about 120 members. I'm looking to move away from that platform to something I can host myself (or worst case, through a service). We use voice chat, text chat/channels, user roles, and media uploads. Desktop streaming and video chat is a plus, but not required. Ideally users could choose between browser-based, desktop, and mobile clients. I'd like to prioritize ease of adoption too, since most of these folks are long term discord users.

I'm looking at Matrix right now (and considering hosting with etke.cc) but I would appreciate any suggestions!
