  • Might be because of tax brackets and not knowing ahead of time if you’re getting a raise. E.g. maybe you are the top of some bracket for most of the year, and youre on track for not surpassing it by the end of the year. Then you get a raise near the end and it bumps you over.

    Should they take a huge amount off your last couple payslips? Or just let you pay it in taxes later?

    Might be better for some people to pay via taxes instead of automatically losing the money for that month.

    Just a guess though.


  • Instances are stores (think Amazon or Etsy). Products are posts. Sellers are users.

    Stores aren’t protected from being defederated. You can still search Google or whatever, still visit the site and buy stuff. It just will not be a unified search, just like how anything else works with ActivityPub.

    The good stores would be run by admins who don’t have an incentive to defederate from others. Stores don’t make money or take a cut from sellers anyway. The sellers aren’t in charge of the instance, just like an Etsy seller can’t do anything about the fact that they have competitors on Etsy.

    The need for decentralization is that the store / Amazon / Etsy is broken up but the search and interactions, reviews, etc. are unified.
