Telegrams moderation leaves a lot to be desired. I’m not saying they should look into or give governments people’s private conversations but I am saying that certain public features of telegram that do allow you to report illegal materials have been used to spread them.

They decreased it?? People always complain about max file sizes being too small.

Also, how is telegram able to offer 2 GB per file and 4 GB on premium? In comparison, that seems astronomical!

I’m saying that Telegram’s moderators are not moderating stuff they should be moderating and that they have admitted they should be moderating. I know that it’s not their fault, it’s the small size of the team compared to almost a billion monthly active users, but still.

1. Idiot proofing
2. Automation, integration and premade scripts and GUI tools for the use of tools such as wine and other pain point relief software
3. Idiot proofing
4. Decrease choice fatigue by decreasing the number of choices visible by default as much as possible (Ubuntu is an okay example/starting point in my opinion)
5. Make a one-stop-shop wiki or equivalent with the specific purpose of giving explanations to non Linux-savvy people

I think that the proliferation of software/app centers is a great development when it comes to package management. Guides should mention them as an option to install whatever packages are needed, as a lot of people are clearly afraid of terminals.

Which leads to the “more GUI tools” point, which I’m sure everyone knows by now.

Also, you know how Windows update is so aggressive with getting you to update? That’s for a reason.

The US president being so important was always weird to me.

Until I learned that compared to my countries president, he has a bunch of actual official powers and gets to appoint the USs version of the ministers. Why the hell does one person have the power to veto laws and appoint the top executives of the laws that pass and issue vaguely defined executive orders that can seemingly overwrite any laws that still got through in a pinch. The only thing stopping the US president from just straight up overthrowing the legislature and ruling by decree is the fact that the Senators might get angry due to being out of a job and complain to the supreme court… one that the president nominates the members of.

🤣

Telegrams billionaire founder claims that he is bankrolling the thing with his personal wealth. I’m pretty sure he also claimed at one point that the average user cost them $6 per year, or something along those lines.

Isn’t game theory the math thing they used to make a computer beat a human at chess? I know that it’s more than that, but this is a pretty broad thing to call bullshit.

I approve of approval voting.

Yes, basically every corporate social media site needs more moderators. A single person can barely moderate 200K users (cohost), so a platform with 900 million should probably have a trust and safety team larger than 30 or 60 (Durov didn’t confirm it).
