At least you have them. We don't :'(

I would highly encourage anyone who feels sympathetic to this comment to read through the comment history and modlog of the person who made it before voting.

Combative, promoting violence, and generally using the Palestinian crisis to universally bash anyone they disagree with about anything while also derailing unrelated conversations. But yeah, it's the mods who are the problem. 🙄

It would make a difference is all I'm saying.

Perfect and better are not mutually exclusive concepts.

If people would at least just check the community they're posting to, it would help immensely.

Added emphasis to previous statement.

It's a conspiracy, bud. Trying to keep the truth down!

OR....there's like 300 duplicates of the exact same thing because everyone thinks they're CNN and the first to break the story and the mods are cleaning up.

Take your pick.

I thought that would be different here, but sadly is not. lol

Good truly unpopular opinion, and mostly good discussion on the points made. That said, I think pretty much all the points that were going to be made have been made. Locking thread.

I've been using this one a bit more during these federation backups. I can't really adopt it as my daily driver, though. My home instance is the one I run, so I tend to favor it. lol

If my instance ever gets sync'd back up where I can interact in something approximating real-time, I may make that happen lol.

OP, the wording of the post is very confusing. Would you mind perhaps editing the post to clarify your opinion?

Thanks!

I think the distributed nature of the Fediverse is a big part of it. Lot of moderation policies at play, on a lot of different instances and some allow some real jerks to flourish and spill out elsewhere. I have zero tolerance for any of that garbage and am very quick with my block/ban buttons, but those are only effective on my own instance or the few communities I moderate outside that.

OP, best I can suggest is to report them. Most of the communities I interact with are pretty responsive to those kinds of reports and similarly don't tolerate it. Mods, unfortunately, can't read every comment and often rely on reports to know when to look deeper/take action.

And don't feel bad about blocking the jerks. There's a lot of them, lol.

I've seen this site get spammed in the past, but it's been a few months. Guess they're at it again.

That whole site is an unholy mixture of religion, conspiracy, and Elon Musk. It's bonkers.

Basically if you see tiblur [dot] com, you can pretty much just report it as spam.

Because that would greatly harm accessibility for the visually impaired.

And if you wanted to adhere to accessibility guidelines for the conversational images, you'd need to add alt text to them. But then the ML models can train on that, so you're back to square one.

We did discuss that, but figured it might be too confusing. Plus, with the federation delays that were happening yesterday, didn't want to take the risk.

Just assume the new signage isn't here yet lol

Lol. Only the post submissions are expected (though not required) to be Popular for today. Comments, as usual, are open season.

I don't know if it was intentional on OP's part, but our April Fool's Day rules are in effect at the moment, so posts are expected to be "Popular Opinions" .

Yeah, timezones are annoying when you want to do something for a specific day. Figured going by UTC would make the most sense.

It's still March for me as well haha.

Downvoting because I agree.

So sick of it being shoved into everything, all the hype about it, and all the drivel it spits out.

The only reason that's the case is because OpenAI had something people ooh'd, ahh'd, clapped, and threw money at and all the other tech companies said "me too!" and threw their half-baked abominations into everything in order to suck up that sweet, sweet training data.
