Webassemby is still limited to a single thread as far as I’m aware, so it’s not a full runtime for the language you are writing in as anything using threads behind the scenes tends to fall over unexpectedly at runtime.

Its also an absolute bastard to debug (young ecosystem)

The only reason I want a limit that high is to be able to book a group holiday on it. (With people I trust to pay me back). So much less stressful (and lucrative if you have a rewards card)

If anything, it’s way easier to control what your employees see if they are on a company instance.

…that was entirely my point.

Also, which company uses Reddit as their forum?

lots of small apps, orgs, communities etc just have a subreddit and a discord server. Lots of bigger companies have official or semi-official subreddits.

We’re all a big community. I think people get this quickly.

Someone wanting to get support for their hoover or something may not. they create an account to discuss the pros and cons of certain hoover and see loads of random stuff about American politics and Linux. Their going to get real confused. Most people have heard of reddit now though (and to a lesser extent discord)

In fact defederation is a negative since now you have to worry about new signups, moderation, etc. While in a federated instance, you can leave moderation to other instances and only allow team/company members on your instance.

They are going to moderate their communities, if its unfederated, you don’t have to worry about moderating (or the lack of) on any other instances communities at all.

Users can sign up on other instances and still be able to interact with your instance for support, help and other stuff.

Thats going to be too confusing for a lot of users - they just want to sign up and complain about/discuss things.

It depends if they are saying, we have a community on lemmy (federation fine) or saying, here is our official forum thing (federation bad)

Possibly, is Mbin basically a single instance like kbin was?

If you are a company looking for a forum, you want to be able to control it. Unfederated means you can control account access and don’t have to worry about someone going to All and seeing porn etc.

Federated could work, but you need to make it clear that it’s just a community on a platform.

You could force latest comment sort on the posts, but leave the comments sorting to the user.

The Reddit style voting/threading is superior of forums though.

An unfederated Lemmy instance for example would actually be really good.
