I thought the tradition was that people were slapped across the face with a trout? Times have changed.

Did you honestly think from my comment that I didn't know who Yoko Ono was?
I was saying that whatever noises she makes, she isn't a singer. Therefore she doesn't qualify for a mention in the "worst band or singer" category.
Is there a band called Yoko Ono? I ask, because I'm fairly sure there isn't a singer.
The problem with this is trust. If you could seamlessly migrate like this, there's nothing to stop someone faking a long post/comment on their own instance, making them look very legitimate and then migrating that account to a trusted/legitimate instance.
Then using that for spam/selling block chain etc.
People are the reason we can't have nice things.
Unless these implied nations include New Zealand, Canada or similarly laid back countries, I seriously doubt I'd be shocked.
What would be the point? Reddit doesn't make any content. They're just a platform. If they go ahead and paywall subs, those subs are going to have a tiny potential subscriber base. Therefore, they will be less attractive to post to (smaller audience, fewer upvotes etc).
About the only place I can maybe see it working is AskHistorians. And you pay the Historians to answer the questions. Which would of course reduce the amount Reddit takes from the paywall. Doesn't seem worth it, to me.
Even then, I think the Historians would rather reply in a new free sub with wider readership than take $20 for putting in three hours of work responding to something. They do it because they're passionate. Not for money.
I was a mad Opera user about 25 years ago, it was the best browser by miles at the time. One feature it had was mouse gestures. Mouse gestures and uBlock origin are the only two extensions I can't love without, but these lists never mention them so I feel like the only one who uses them.
It's hard to explain how cool and quick it is to be able to control your browser with the mouse. Open/close tabs, navigate tabs, back/forward etc. It doesn't sound useful, I'm usually a mad keyboard shortcut fiend. But with web browsing in particular, your hand is already on the mouse, scrolling.
The specific extension I use is Gesturefy, I encourage people to install it and give mouse gestures a go.
This works for us:
Step one: Keep your instance civil. No tolerance for horrible people (racists/bigots etc).
Step two: Maintain a vibrant local set of communities free from nastiness.
Step three: Let your users engage with the noise of the fediverse as much or as little as they desire.
We don't bother with telling our users who or what they can access, and don't immediately ban visitors based on their home instance. Will that scale to millions of users? Probably not. But that's a problem for future Nath - maybe.
And in the end it was all a bit for naught - since they now top the table using a normal measure anyway.

I am typing this comment on a Pixel 7. I have had it for nearly two years and I have never experienced these symptoms.
The only app I can think of that doesn't load in under a second is Asphalt Legends - and that's because the app takes a week to load on anything.
I am very satisfied with this device, and doubt I'll be upgrading to Pixel 9. I have no reason to upgrade.
