So a clone then

non important comment (nic) - that presenter was so freaking annoying.

So we need a documentary like Super Size Me but for social media. I think post that documentary coming out was the only time I’ve seen people’s attitudes change in the general population about fast food.

I wholeheartedly agree, the only censorship should be in the individuals hands and only affects them. Aka blocking other users or content from being displayed on your own account. My moral compass does not need to be everyone’s moral compass.

As much as I hear you that this happens with other retailers. It doesn’t happen with Amazon from my experience, and those I’ve known personally. They take what you send back back and refund you, they sometimes say just keep it and we’ll send another to you, do with the old one as you will, they go to bat for you with Manufactures who are trying to weasel out of warranty responsibilities. So I can fully get on with not buying from Amazon for a ton of human reasons, Bezos, employee treatment and such, but when it comes to customer support they are top notch.

I would argue that should be more than mildly infuriating.

I’m trying to tell myself that too and resist this.

I had to look up astroturfing in this context, so hopefully I got this right. But isn’t that just the actual commenting then? Obviously voting could get that comment moved closer to the top when done by the perps in this case but I think it would take the community to also be up voting the comment for it to rise to the top. I also don’t think knowing who commented actually fixes this issue nor does it give more ability from an admin perspective to get rid of those comments if that was desired.

I could be missing something though.

What is the benefit here in this case? Basically why do we care who upvotes or downvotes something that it needs to be exposed?

When Chrome came out it was fairly light on resource usage and speedy because of that. Firefox was a resource hog at this time. Chrome now is a show resource hog and Firefox is much peppier overall in my opinion.

I’m glad I’m not the only one feeling this way.

Federated doesn’t mean open.

It’s like a potentially abusive spouse, asking their future spouse to waive all rights to seek legal recourse if they beat them in the future. This crap shouldn’t be legal.

Nobody wants to do that

Someone mentioned above but we have that in Matrix. A great federated messaging service.

It’s a cloud service now, so fully usable via the browser.

You can’t really use home valuation here as a comparison. A homeowner cannot just sell a piece of their house to go and buy another one. Doesn’t really work like that.

Low Earth, and High Earth orbits.

I don’t see how any of this would hold up in court. I’m pretty sure you can’t be liable for a new tos for what is essentially new software that you didn’t use in your project. This company is clearly run by fucktards who are hoping to prey upon devs that just don’t know better or can’t fight back.
