  I wish communities could be grouped in some way.

  or not 🤷‍♂️

  Sure it's more practical, but your whole community (as in "people") is now centralized on a single point. If you have a single one "gaming" community, and it disappears or is taken over, you lose everything and need to start over from scratch. If you have 3-4 communities spread across different instances, if one of those communities become unusable, it's easier to abandon it to become active on the next one.

  Decentralization is not a silver bullet, but as we've seen during the last year with Twitter and Reddit, it's better than the alternative.

  The boy scout technique: fix your types when you're working on a bug or a feature, one file at a time. Also try to use unknown instead of any for more sensitive parts, it will force you to typecheck.

  The kid that tried to kill 2 people by throwing them bricks, paint buckets, and broken glass is now a spokesperson for Facebook? How surprising.
