  • The experience was torturous overall, but considering it’s basically time travel and I’d know everything about the future up to 2024, I think I’d do a lot better at everything a second time around. I’d be amazingly good at BASIC and Pascal when I was 7, and would definitely buy that Amiga C compiler this time. I’d be pretty bored with all the 8 and 16 but Sega games since I already played them but I’d also get an SNES, since I missed all that last time. School would be easy af, and i’d feel like a pervert dating middle and high school girls so might as well just test out and get a PhD when I was 12 or something.

    Oh, the real question. What would I rather I did differently? I should have spent less time reading my own books and playing video games at home, and focused on the studies school wanted me to do so I could test out and just start taking university courses rather than stay in the slog of middle and high school. Socially it was awful and not sure what I could have done at the time. I ended up dropping out and getting a GED after 9th grade, and did great on the ACT, could have gotten scholarships, but decided to do self employment rather than go to college, which wasn’t a great plan overall due to the specifics of what I chose and what happened.


















  • It kinds of works like shadow banning because defederation means one instance doesn’t get updates from the defeded one… but the defeded one can still be federated with the one that defeded them, so users on that can still see and comment on posts, but they aren’t displayed to people using the defeded instance. So they’re just posting into the void. But people on their instance and I guess other instances can still see them of course.


  • I originally read it as just saying ‘different instances’ and not stating a number of different instances. But that’s not the format 4chan uses for a quote reply (I don’t remember, isn’t there a number sign or something?) and that number would be way too large for a comment ID. So, yeah. I didn’t consider that someone could actually go there and find the post since I think of 4chan as /b where it all disappears after 2 hours.
