This page aims to cover that (at least for using mTLS) https://webmeshproj.github.io/documentation/using-mtls/ - but you are right - administration docs in general need a lot more love.
EDIT: I've added a link to that page in the part of the insecure "Getting Started" that says "this is insecure don't do it this way". Hopefully that helps people in the right direction a bit more - but I have a long road of more documentation ahead of me.
As always - any and all contributions are welcome :)
Except it is encrypted, and pretty secure. That's not really related to the issue. Facebook complied with a subpoena as they are legally required to do so. Signal would have to do the same. The only difference there is that Signal doesn't retain decryption keys for your data so subpoenaing them would be pretty pointless except to prove that some conversation happened.
I think you are over conflating "reddit-isms" and "internet-isms". Reddit is where stuff like this has been most prominent for a while - but the whole funny naming thing has been around since the birth of the internet.
Can't wait for the beta to start!
If you click your name in the top right you can go to your Profile which has a list of subscriptions as one of the tabs. Also under your settings you can make your home view be just your subscriptions instead of everything.
No way to set newest as default that I'm aware of yet - would be nice because I'm like you in that regard.
Yea it's a bit weird I'm noticing. It doesn't change the behavior of going to the main website. But it makes it so the links in the top bar default to only your subs. Like if you click the logo it'll take you to your subs.
I respectfully disagree. A sub like AskHistorians generates tons of traffic for the site via google searches alone. It's also got 2 million subscribers that happily remain subscribed for the quality content with all the spam filtered out.
How far is he willing to take this? I mean AskHistorians hasn't gone full NSFW yet - but they are in a protest mode. Albeit one that still will end up producing decent content, just less frequently.
There are a lot of customizations out in the wild provided as CSS scripts to install with Stylus or JS scripts to install with a monkey plugin.
I'm using this plugin for collapsible comments everywhere right now. https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/468923-kbin-improved-collapsible-comments
I used to particularly enjoy getting banned from subs for being mean - with a link to my comment being a reply to someone calling me an idiot and me telling them why they are wrong.
