It would still be "I'm just asking questions" about whether or not the moon landing happened and if lizard people exist.

Or bone cancer in kids. Fuck that guy.

So what you're suggesting works in theory, but not in practice. There are times when simply ignoring bad actors or voting them down within a community is not enough to stop them from misbehaving. Try ostracizing a botnet. Or nicely asking trolls to stop posting racist memes. It won't work.

Sadly, there have been Nazi and white supremacist rallies all over the country, often and every year for quite some time. It's really sad, but that's the reality.

But I think is more notable recently, and more disturbing, is that they're getting more press and less pushback from the media rather than being ostracized and ignored as they have been in the past.

He can stuff the votes with bots and get what he wants. Don't think for a second that he'll let people like you and I succeed at voting out mods who are on his side.

People sure like to dunk on PHP. I'll take whatever flak for this, but this is the kind of meme a .NET fanboy or Ruby on Rails bro would make when they haven't touched any languages other then their prescious, and don't know wtf they're talking about.

PHP, after all these years, is STILL running 78% of all sites. That's not because it's garbage or the worst. It's solid, reliable, mature and very well documented. And I say this as someone who has gladly moved to Python, but also work in in others.

This 100%. I use YouTube Music and have a premium subscription and it's fantastic. Even without premium it's still great.

Good luck with that. It's just as smart as the rest of his decisions with Twitter.

Exactly. When TendieMaster69 says "self-moderate" I think defedding should 100% be a part of that self-moderation toolkit. That's all defedding is - an instance saying "nope, we're done with your b.s." I don't see why that should be off the table.

Bitwarden, all the way. On my mobile devices, laptops, etc.

I used to use KeePass but the UI is so antiquated and features also just haven't kept up. Bitwarden free, open source, audited, syncs and works everywhere flawlessly, and I can self host if I ever want to. It's great.

But "shouldn't stop them from here" and "self-moderate" are in conflict with one another. What is self-moderation if an entire instance is troll farm, or hate group? Should that self-moderation not include defedding as an option?
If I have a party in my house and a bunch of rowdy people show up, I have a series of escalating options to stop the problem ranging from asking one of them to stop, to kicking the entire group out of my house and never letting them come back. Defedding is the last of those, and I see no reason why it shouldn't be an option when other methods are not working.

Of course they can be disabled. But sites are not all built the same way, so there isn't one silver bullet we can tell you about to disable them everywhere. On mobile it's even more difficult because access to browser plugins is more limited, along with developer features within the browser.

I also use FF on Android, and until recently was also using Reddit. There isn't a good way to remove that bar.

I left that garbage heap many years ago. Rogan's show is just one of the pieces of garbage in the pile there.

"Repo Man" (1984) and "Repo! The Genetic Opera" (2008) are two very different movies. Both highly recommend though.

I used to think the same, until I read somewhere that our brain is pretty much the size of our two fists if we put them palm-to-palm. Looking at my own hands that way is a great reminder.

1. You get to decide who you are. No one can do this for you, although lots of people will try to define you.
2. You also get to decide how much shit you're willing to eat when it comes to your job. Some people have a higher tolerance than others. Just remember that your loyalty to a manager or company should be directly equal to how loyal they are to you. You don't owe them a damn thing that they're not paying you (fairly) for.
3. No one is the boss of you. You'll have managers, but don't get into the mindset that these people can tell you what to do and that you have no choice.
4. No one knows what they're doing. As you get older you'll begin to realize that the older people you thought had some knowledge that comes with being an "adult" don't have things figured out either. Give yourself room to not have it figured out and to make mistakes. Everyone does.

Welp, time to move registrations over to Cloudflare. I'm not going to give my money to Squaspace for this.

I'm not.OP, but will also be on a long flight with steam deck soon. I keep hearing about Factorio and I think it's time to push the button.

Very good point - the paid version is cheap and well worth it.

In case it hasn't been mentioned, you can exclude reddit from your searches with the flag "-reddit.com". So, searching for...

memes -reddit.com

will show you all results without results from reddit. :)
