Now I think my client (Memmy) is wonky too, because it can’t follow any of these links! Will try the web UI.

Ah, I read the requestor as wanting to disallow body text.

Maybe the instance I’m on is wonky, because I can’t even find those communities - I just get the “top”/”default” type communities ala reddit: technology, news, etc, which are all linked mass media articles.

The opposite of that request, yes.

More policy and culture than implementation. Rarely see pages of links to mass media sites on your average phpBB, though.

I have thought for a while that the next “reddit” should be usenet with a client having advanced filtering, local scoring, etc. Maybe where the client reports to/reads from a shared spam database.

I dont mean a chat/conversation-specific community, I mean a collection of communities that are more people interacting than links being posted.

Especially for hobby, parenting, philosophy, politics, technical discussions, etc.

Plant- or algae- derived oils may work better. The key is to not extract hundreds of billions of tons of hydrocarbons that have been sequestered for 100 million years.
