@dansup Mm, I think maybe we should have a bit more faith in the Fediverse, and other Pixelfed servers? That's why I mentioned the “pledge”, and why I mentioned some moderation over which servers are accepted. Of course, just random servers would be bad from many standpoints.
Not giving an option is saying “all other servers deserve no trust”.
@dansup This was probably proposed, but: what if any instance could have some setting in it which says that it is ok with being a “general” one. Then, on the onboarding step, a random instance from a list of instances that participate would be selected, with some simple explanation for a user, a button to randomize it from the same list again, and then a link to all instances?
In my quest to push forward what is possible with custom properties in #CSS, I discovered another application of cyclic dependencies. Combined with a prior technique based on custom cascade layers, we are now even closer to something that resembles native CSS mixins.
