There is a reddit post like this which is most upvoted ever. So it is a mix of test and funny. Hence I thought it was ok to post here. But noted, I will use test ones in future.

Well rather, how will you pick which communities go in that feed? It’s not a bad plan, but transparency would encourage your users to use that feed

Homepage should be based on communities with maximum subscribers. But with a login, each user can subscriber/unsubscribe and create their custom homepage. Yes, once we have some stability and traffic, we should publish these choices we made for transparency.

With how new fediverse tech is, a lot of new rules will be “written” based on what people try. Obfuscating or misleading people on where content is coming from (which is the concern people are expressing here), seems like something people will push back against.

Obfuscation was not the objective. Now after many complained, you can see real username and servername on each post.

As such, you might find it easier to build a userbase by avoiding what Reddit has done rather than try to emulate it

That is not my vision and I am ok if users decide this is not what they want and adoption fails.

You have a reasonable argument that it is not possible for everyone to come up with common rules.

The issue is that there are numerous posts instigating and encouraging everyone to defederate. But without a clear definition of what is acceptable. In other words, this approach makes it very hard for anyone from building anything new and participate in federation. So this seems against the goal of "open network" and discourage others from doing anything new.

If that is the goal, then I cannot really win here. If that is not the goal, then I ask not to make such posts and not to encourage everyone to defederate. Anyone who has an issue can reach out to me and I can address their concerns.

Is that reasonable?

We fixed the attribution. Now usernames show up as /u/@ (rather than earlier /u/ and no server). Also the server name can be seen in the right bar.

Since we fixed what bothered you the most, can you not make the posts encouraging others to de-federate? If something bothers others, let them make a post or talk to me and I can address their issues. Is that fair expectation?
