It’s not so much of an analogy, email actually is a federated technology just like ActivityPub is and ActivityPub works a lot like email and has audience targeting fields which map onto the same audience targeting fields that email has (to, cc, etc.) these activities aren’t always publicly available, although they can be and they are delivered to another users inbox (although if public they can be read from a user’s outbox).

Wow, I am surprised they would go this far if I’m honest. Are they actively trying to piss off literally everyone?

To some degree, you’re right, reddit probably won’t change regardless of what mods do. If they really are feeling the blackout, as you’d say they’ll probably just replace the moderators and open the community back up, rather than reverse their decision.

However, I feel like it’s reddit doing the disservice to their users, not mods who are taking action by protesting. Ultimately, and if reddit do replace the mods and try and continue as normal, then it sends a stronger message to the community that reddit doesn’t care about or respect them and it’s not a not a good place to continue being.

In the dynamic between reddit the company running the site and the users, there is limited power users have against reddit which holds a lot of power, but protesting like what’s happening now one of the main tools users have.

Really appreciate these links! I’ve been curious to see what he’s been saying but didn’t want to give them any traffic.

Here are some I find really useful:

• Jellyfin (media interface)
• paperless-ng (document store with OCR, tagging, search, etc.)
• Miniflux (RSS reader)
