Why is this person banned?

Did not make it correct.

Yeah, there was something quirky with lite.qwant.com results that made it unusable

“and may fuel violence” … While this part is an absurd notion, it brings up a great point… I guess you kind of create the community you want to see

What I believe Reddit originally did when it started was (1) allow everything, but (2) create the illusion that a large audience liked certain things more than others… Is that right or wrong? Obviously Reddit is 100% complete shit now, but it didn’t used to be!

I hope more people chime in on this conversation… I’m currently trying to run a platform for events, and I create a filter for religious events… But it’s because those tend to be “spammy” or highly mundane… also an eye sore for me… people have the option to filter them back in, but I think about something similar to what you asked

Could be worth starting by installing DavX5 and follow the prompts to check out the options… I use Baikal with DavX5: https://sabre.io/baikal/

At some point years ago Facebook started defaulting to relatives/family algorithmically. This is extremely biased and problematic. It makes a lot of sensitive assumptions, as everyone’s family structure is different. So “devastating” is a good choice of words.

I feel like most of those examples tend towards inherently immoral and wrong…

E.g., no news is actually urgent, and algorithmic friend sorting is wrong – serendipity is correct

Regarding informative articles, in that context there are keywords for searching

I think the only way that we’ll start getting remotely close to something moral is with fine-grained controls that will let us know exactly why an algorithm chooses what it does

Even if it’s easy to use, still have to convince them to install something new… You already know that part will be possible?

How so?

The 24 hour lifespan of posts is definitely a weak spot of reddit, from numerous angles… Poor moderation and cowardly shadowbanning exacerbate the issue… And locking posts within like 6 months… terrible platform

It makes sense that a post could maintain a pace for more than a day, or regain activity

If I’m not mistaken, Gnome Terminal supports changing the background color

Are you serious? It’s not about pigs, even though they’re often the first to put holes in systems compromising everyone. From that angle I suppose they are a threat to software in general. But privacy for the sake of privacy is correct, even.

The old version is still much better… there’s a browser extension that does the redirect automatically

No, that is not a WebDev working standard. String-based IDs are legitimate as well, and can even be primary keys in a database.

One way to get around #1… if there is text, it has to be specific text, either via a redirect or 404…

He’s full of it, haha

I think the more we can say “no”, the faster things can come full circle to the benefit of everyone. This will happen eventually anyway, but we can speed it up. The abhorrent secret practices that so many tech companies have mistakenly convinced themselves as acceptable will not be sustainable in the long term – “The cloud” will not be the easiest option forever, and it was unfortunate for us to have have been tricked into that path for some years now.

Thanks!!

Could try setting up a VPN like Wireguard…
