Sure, li'l buddy! He's coming quick, so I'm just going to run over there to take a picture.

It would be great to implement client side. I just don't know how the comment system would work. Do you post to 4 communities all at once? Obviously moderation issues if it's a single comment linked to 4 servers, but if it's not then people who don't have a client that combines duplicate comments on duplicate communities would see a bunch of garbage spam.

I guess I'm not saying it's inconceivable that this feature could be done well, but the obstacles seem really tall. I can't even imagine how I would implement this.

I understand why some folks would want this, but I just don't. I don't want to interact with users from e.g. .ml so I don't go to communities hosted on that instance. But if they were joined in, you'd get the same people in News and Politics regardless of where you go.

I would pretty much be forced to find or run an instance that federates with exactly the right servers. Even then, I'll have someone talking about what u/shitfart said in their comment and I won't have a fucking clue what they're talking about. Then there are the people caught in between who see everything and wonder why people are talking like they don't see one another.

It would just be an absolute shit show. My instance is having some federation problems right now and I'll see someone say "I'm jumping on the bandwagon" but there is literally no one else [that I can see] who is taking about what they just said.

I totally get why this would seem to be a good idea, but I don't like it.

I just checked my blocked instances. zerobytes.monster is the only one I know for sure. Couple of others I'm not sure why I blocked. Most of them are to filter out languages I don't read from the All view. Possibly lemmit.online.

There are entire instances that are nothing but Reddit repost bots.

At no point was this ever funny. Also spitting is not sexy. Being spit on is not sexy. The satisfying snap of the astroglide lid is the only lubrication sound I want to hear besides a moan.

Literally the first name that popped into my head when I saw the question. There are plenty of other good choices, but she has to be near the top of any list.

Incidentally... am I having federation issues? This is the only comment I see mentioning Ripley. I see 11 comments currently...

Me and some old guildies have kept in touch off and on over the years. Every once in a while I'd buy a wow expansion and do a couple of dungeons. We were really looking forward to making Diablo 4 our new hang out.

We played like hell all through the beta. Then like twice in live. Then we all kinda decided it sucked. I think my good friend's daughter is graduating soon. Or possibly already did. I can't remember how much older than my own kids she was. I can remember when she was born.

He's still like a brother to me, but we've got fuck all in common any more and we can't keep talking about glory days that were damn near 20 years ago.

I gave them a couple of quarters and they played a couple games of Galaga.

Will second pouch recommendation. It's a small but significant difference.
