Will the WordPress integration work for you?

That is far far from my "focus". I don't mind criticism. I don't even mind people who openly state reasons to not like me or what I am doing. My problem is what others described: downvoting without actionable feedback.

I am more used to the Hacker News style of moderation, where the mods are used to take a first course of action to (politely) point out what was "wrong" with someone's action and ask them to stop their behavior. Only unabashed repeat offenders get banned. My "calling out" was an attempt to do that, after a private message went unanswered.

Are you familiar with Traefik in any way? It will really pay off if you do.

I really don't like it either of them. It sounds like you are in favor of the idea that kids should not play on the streets.

I splinter my identity off per instance as a choice,

Right, but then it goes back to my original post: why?

I could maybe understand someone arguing "I don't want to be connected with only one instance, to avoid putting all my social presence in one basket, but then this is still not about identity anymore, because we could do that by using different "generic" instances.

It doesn't seem to be a matter of convenience. If anything, it seems to be more work.

Is it about keeping different personas? Having different styles of writing and interacting with others based on the audience? I could understand that, but it feels a bit weird, as if we are not allowed to be ourselves.

Curious what topics those instances

Football, Basketball, American Football, Tennis, Self-Hosting and system administration, Fashion and Style, Cars... The whole list is on !communick_news_network@communick.news

That, and to let people get auto subscribed to all the communities that are corresponding to the redditor subscribed subreddits. It solves the onboarding problem completely.

Ok. Thank you for clearing that up. I still think that it would be better if you wrote a comment explaining your issue with the post to give people a chance to improve it.

I already sent a DM, 4 months ago. No answer.

There are three people here who are telling you that they don't see "downvoters for disagreement" as normalized practice. I presume all three of us were also on Reddit, and we can all help shape a different culture to here. You talk of "bringing Redditors" like Reddit users are complete different species than you.

I want to bring people. Lots of them. The majority of them will not be interesting to you or me. That's okay. What made Reddit so great was that it attracted so many people that it had a really long tail of niches.

The Fediverse needs people. And I am not saying that because I am seeking "power" or "influence". I am saying it because if we keep this reactionary "it's fine like this, keep the barbarians away" mentality, the whole thing will stagnate and die. And I don't want to lose our best shot at bringing back an open web for everyone.

If you are seeing a 500 error, then it's definitely an error on the server side. I will investigate it and let you know when I find the fix. Just to confirm: are you logged in when you access the site?

I think you are making some false assumptions here. Me calling out someone does not mean I "hate" anything. It just means that I am trying to understand why someone is so bothered by what I am doing to the point of chasing me around.

The rest of the argument, I really don't know what to make of it. Seems like you already made up your mind about me and my intentions, so there is nothing that I can say or do that can change that. All I can say is that the project is open source and if someone else wants to work on it and make their own database, more power to them.

In the general case, to get some feedback about the project. What is so bad about it that people feel like it a negative contribution to the community?

In this specific case, because I don't want to get into a "he said/she said" argument about the serial downvoters. So by asking to explain it, the public can gauge by themselves who is being reasonable.
