@silverpill By "decouple", do you mean that the subscription system could operate without any payment component at all, and that payment would be an optional extension of it? What would be the main difference between Subscribers and Followers in this case... Subscriber Only Posting?

I actually had to click on the starburst icon before I realized it was the new Subscription Management section... it's not really a big deal in the scheme of things, but it's actually hard to think of a good, simple icon to represent "Subscriptions" as a concept when it isn't associated with money.

I see the Mitra subscription icon changed from the dollar sign coin to a starburst icon... personally I preferred the clear visual connotation to money, but I guess this works too.

@silverpill @ankokukishi I'd need to install Bloat FE on the Mitra server for that to be an option, right?

@ankokukishi You mean this Mitra instance? Does the same issue occur with other Mitra servers?

paging @silverpill in, he might have more insight. Probably some conflict in the way the browsers render shit.

The more I actually try to use Bitcoin Lightning, the more I hate it. I just want to send and receive digital shekels. All of this shit about channels, inbound/outbound liquidity, etc is a pain in the ass and gets between me and what I want. The fact that channels can arbitrarily get closed, leaving money in limbo for days is even more shit.

AlbyHub closed a new channel I opened after 13 fucking minutes... now I need to fund another one if I want my wallet to work, but I can't the funds in AlbyHub because they're too few and stuck in closed channels anyway.

I have an embedded node Zeus wallet on a phone with enough sats to do the job, but oh no! The channel's stuck as Inactive, and even if it does activate properly, there's too many zombie channels so any attempt at payment times out and goes nowhere.

I won't pretend Monero hasn't given me headaches and borderline heart attacks in the past, but it's got nothing on this Lightning shit. When it works well it works well, but just one piece out of alignment and it all goes to shit. Lightning fucking sucks, and I'm not willing to pretend it doesn't.

Something happened in the last 24/48 hours that ballooned media storage by roughly 10Gb. I had to manually prune remote posts to get the media folder down to a manageable size.

I've changed remote media retention from 50 days to 15, hopefully that'll keep things stable for now. But I may have to look into expanding available storage, because god save me if I end up zeroing my drive here.
