haha no. i meant the examples of trolling i provided lol, not you.

Calling someone zionist is not a slur. Calling someone a bot is also not a slur. Both are thought-terminating cliches. Also, by thread, I meant including the comments as well. Plus you have the trolling.

There’s outright lying, this thread of what I can only describe as trolling, chanting “what about clinton’s blowjob” on a post asking for people to debunk a list of bad things Reagan did, and there’s a ton of calling everyone Zionists within the very thread I linked to. Such spreading of vitriol at everyone he disagrees with is definitely bannable IMO.

The discussion here shows me that linkerbaan’s ban was the right decision: https://p.lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/lemmy.dbzer0.com/29384791 . Please provide receipts of actual attempted Orwellianism.

That people create blocklists that become popular absolutely does not prove endorsement of a potential official blocklist. While an official, default blocklist may be Orwellian, unofficial opt-in blocklists that require searching for are not Orwellian at all. One knows they’re there, one chooses to block them. Your line of reasoning leads to arguing against the block feature entirely. And what’s wrong with providing transparent statistics?

For all the great enforcement problems KOSPA has, at least it incorporated Filter Bubble Transparency…

I think you’ve been in an echo chamber for too long.

I assure you that official blocklists are a very fringe viewpoint.

In response to your edits:

Have you actually read your replies?

Yeah, by “posts” I meant posts to Lemmy/threads on the home feed. By “comments” I mean the discussion area for each thread.

That’s for posts, not comments, which is what Bluesky changed.

I haven’t dived into the source code yet, but while it does seem to weight newness more than e.g. Reddit, it still feels much less than 95% and it’s all based on the same principle that upvotes should also determine a bit of what you see. Keep in mind hotness is different from top, an option that Bluesky also has. (I also haven’t been able to find which option Bluesky previously defaulted to.)

I guess I get why 𝕏 changed their short description on the app store to “🔥Blaze your glory” for a while a year ago now.

“Engagement bait” is also the default option on Lemmy, Mbin, etc.

what was the conference about

Jimbo’s justification is that if they don’t do this to the page, they’ll completely lose their chance of arguing in court, and 1. they can always restore it if the court orders something they decide not to do 2. the contents of the article are already archived all over the internet

I’m fairly excited about Ladybird because it’s already gotten 423 on html5test vs Firefox 128’s 544. I do agree that they’re currently pretty much alpha quality, though.

most defunct / unmaintained and the three: blink, gecko and webkit being the only ones actively developed and maintained today (I am aware of Goanna, but some articles online say it isn’t being developed anymore – I could be wrong).

The fourth most developed browser engine is Ladybird, spun off from the SerenityOS project. It’s very active. And then you have Mozilla’s Servo… kinda. And then Goanna is still maintained, but not too active.

Uh-huh.
