  • I did it because it is cheaper, lets me learn a bit about self hosting and causes me to have less captchas and less websites blocking me, and its also more resistant to any potential VPN bans (my country’s already made social media have age verification, I’m sure they’ll come for vpns eventually). You’re right that I don’t have the benefit of blending in but there’s still a lot of other ways you can be fingerprinted so that really isn’t a huge benefit.







  • Now that I think about it, having votes shown seperately with hour needing to peek would be better, definitely a lot less confusing for new users and those that don’t realise that’s something that can be done. I prefer separate votes since it gives a better idea about the post. For example, if a post has a combined score of 1, I would assume that it hasn’t had much activity, but if I see it has 15 upvotes and 14 down votes, that’s still a combined score of 1, but it is controversial rather than having low activity.
