I just counted all my upvotes and it matches my rep now.

So we make the Internet ours again.
I'd say reduce the limit to 600 for verified accounts and unverified to 60 and new accounts to 30.
The world will be a better place.
Example. One of the better subreddits has a "few" rules.
The rules are too long for a post here.... so you get a small image.
Just no. Upvote and downvote is all you need.
Nobody wants to listen.
When it happens it's basically overnight. Like stretching a rubberband that you pull and pull and think it's fine. Then you pull just a little bit too hard and it snaps. It will be impossible to put it together again.
We are no more than a few years, maybe a decade away from the hottest countries being completely unlivable. We are talking about 2+ Billion people that needs to move in a very short time. It's coming and coming quickly. We're not ready. Billions will die.

USA has a political law system. And they accept it. Just as they seem to accept crumbling infrastructure, police violence, over use and drug dependency.

Fediverse gives me hope there is still life left in and on the Internet.
Red Dwarf.
It's goofy. It's campy. It's sometimes terrible.
But it grows on you and by the time you are done through season 2 you love the show and only want more. And oh yes there is more, much more.
Why would I want pushed content from Meta of all places? I don't want to see that.
And no, we don't need to grow the Fediverse that way. It's better to stay independent and develop organically and become the next big thing, not eaten by some overstuffed corporation not able to innovate.
Learn from history. Don't repeat it!
It would be comical if it wasn't so sad.
The richest country on earth can't even maintain its own infrastructure. This is the 5th(?) such failure in short time that has made international news.
That same country suffers from economic troubles.
Solve both by funding infrastructure projects.
What's standing in their way?
