Not much else needs to be said tbh. Fuck Spez. // Edit: Not sure why imgur marked the album as NSFW, but there’s nothing NSFW in it other than the name of one of the mods including the word “removed”
Personal comment: the critter isn’t even dead but the vultures are already flying in circles around it. I certainly do not envy their situation, I bet that the users will treat them like shit.
Not necessarily. A hash of the body/url+timestamp would always point to the same place, and could be calculated on the fly.
So every comment and post would have a calculation and entry into a table, and this would be done by every instance every time one instance creates a new comment or post? That sounds like a massive unnecessary overhead.
Just use the same ID across all instances. Hell, they could just do https://inst.ance/post/number@inst.ance
