A few features I would love to see:
A way to view groups of multiple communities in a single feed. Like a multicommunity. A workaround right now is to have multiple accounts, which is less than ideal.
A way to view content from multiple accounts in a single feed. Like a universal feed.
An easier way to have the same settings apply to multiple accounts.
A way to block instances or communities.
What are these negatives you mentioned if traveling abroad?
I don't like starting my drive on a low-note of backing up out from a parking spot, anxious I will accidentally scrape a vehicle or bonk the curb or whatever may it be. Ending the drive by backing into the parking space means next time I leave I'll start by driving forward to pull out.
I wonder if an instance could only allow votes by users who are part of instances that require email verification or some other verification method. I would imagine that would heavily help reduce vote manipulation on that particular instance.
What's wrong with gitlab?
