If there’s no JavaScript, there’s no malicious scripts

But there is, tons of it! And I can’t see anything. The content is obscured without it. It’s not static html.

Yes, but the number of Trump supporters is dwindling.

At this point a total collapse of the USA’s 2-party-system seems the best of all realistic alternatives.

Because the Dems getting their shit together in less than 4 years certainly isn’t realistic.

I get your point but I left reddit & joined the lemmyverse just a week ago, and did not get banned/censored.

I just felt that a ton of small niggles both technical and content-/moderation-wise had accumulated towards a tipping point.

I have used old.reddit for the longest time and there’s always been some glitches (…). There seem to be delays, and they’re getting longer. Whether this is just old.reddit or in general, I do not care.

There are other indicators that reddit isn’t interested in keeping old.reddit working. It’s just a question of time.

Then there’s bots, including wetware bots. Whether they’re just re-posting to farm karma or actively flooding certain topics with vile opinion or - after a noticeable delay that has nothing to do with timezones - tip the up/downvote balance in their favor: they are here, and it’s not getting better.

Can confirm, this happened. Realsatire.

I’m just going to latch onto the top comment…

An actual reddit admin posted this 2 days ago:

Today we are rolling out a new (sort of) enforcement action across the site. Historically, the only person actioned for posting violating content was the user who posted the content. The Reddit ecosystem relies on engaged users to downvote bad content and report potentially violative content. This not only minimizes the distribution of the bad content, but it also ensures that the bad content is more likely to be removed. On the other hand, upvoting bad or violating content interferes with this system.

So, starting today, users who, within a certain timeframe, upvote several pieces of content banned for violating our policies will begin to receive a warning. We have done this in the past for quarantined communities and found that it did help to reduce exposure to bad content, so we are experimenting with this sitewide. This will begin with users who are upvoting violent content, but we may consider expanding this in the future. In addition, while this is currently “warn only,” we will consider adding additional actions down the road.

We know that the culture of a community is not just what gets posted, but what is engaged with. Voting comes with responsibility. This will have no impact on the vast majority of users as most already downvote or report abusive content. It is everyone’s collective responsibility to ensure that our ecosystem is healthy and that there is no tolerance for abuse on the site.

This was the only thing left reddit had going for itself: that users can influence the algorithm with their votes.

As someone who switched to feddit just a few days ago I can say this has been building up. Small things like deciding which comments get visibility, phasing out old.reddit, doing nothing about bots, introducing bot/karmafarma-friendly mechanisms, an uptick in pro-MAGA posts/comments as well as disinfo bots … but still, this feels like an uncharacteristically large step.

No javascript over insecure connection! Archived versions all seem broken (or empty). Yeah, no, sorry.

According to this, for me it would be Ubuntu 10.04. It was my final step away from $PROPRIETARY_OS, way back when.

Or, you know, all of them.

Of course they put a close-up of his actual face at the top of the article. And the shock value of that just proves its headline. *shudder*

This is good news!

But the constant barrage:

the part-time legislature has spent more than half of its days this session pushing such bills through committees and the house floor, with Republicans largely voting in lockstep

…is by design.

Suddenly all those obamapocalypse preppers …

And I’m going to use that bill for myself too if you don’t mind, because nobody gets treated worse than I do online, nobody.

This shitstain constantly sounds like a parody of himself. Yet I’m still not laughing, except in that really ugly way that sticks in your throat.

If you can’t edit XML use nice GUI lxhotkey or obkey instead

The laughing is bad, but the prankees reactions have informational value: this is how a significant portion of the populace thinks about the conflict.

Done differently this could’ve been great investigative journalism: “of 100 randomly chosen numbers we called only 1 reacted positively” or so.

Reichsbürger

Ah yes, our national flavor of sovereign citizens, but with a “king”.

Always very long faces when their actions meet consequences, and waving that “document” that states that they aren’t subject to our system anymore does exactly nothing.

Openbox (LXQt’s wm under Xorg) does support global shortcuts.

And labwc supports rc.xml so it should support global shortcuts as well.
