That chart is based on Google Trends, which is a terrible way to measure social network activity/popularity.

No - I'm the only one that can remove posts at this point, and it puts a brightly-colored bold "This comment has been removed and is not visible to other users".

Yeah, it's not uncommon at all to see things like, "Edit: Wow, this whole chain of comments was removed, except for mine!" because people don't realize that the site actively hides whether your posts are removed. Pretty

Yeah, that's how all comment removals on reddit work though (which, you're right, many users don't realize). Users can only know their comments are removed if they check from logged-out or another account, or if the moderator

I created AutoModerator and was an admin for 4 years. I understand the differences intimately, but they're very similar from the affected user's perspective.

You're wrong about multiple things here. Regular moderators can effectively shadowban inside their subreddits by using AutoModerator and telling it to remove all posts made by certain users. Reddit Gold has literally been renamed to Re

Decently interesting article (more of an interesting subject than the article itself), but I hate these current trends in article titles. There's absolutely nothing in this article about how they built it.

Yes, it's a violation of GDPR to tell people that they're consenting. You have to ask them, and they have to perform an "affirmative act" - even a pre-checked checkbox is a violation. The main relevant sections are proba

It's not really the same thing you're talking about at all, but I think there's also an interesting conflict of this type between where the largest sites are getting their user growth from now, and the users that are most val

It's a neat idea, but saying that this AI "mastered" chess is a huge exaggeration. In the actual paper [1], it says that it lost 19/100 games against an opponent playing completely random moves. And by "lost",

I always love seeing the strange little PR downplay methods that companies decide to use. This one's got the appropriately bland and information-less choice of url/title with "Facts 2019" as well as: (large bold text) No

That looks like a nice playlist (I know lots of the artists and will have to check out some of the others), but it's completely unrelated to someone asking for a way to generate copyright-free music to use in their own videos.

If that's not just on your end, hosting malware is a really big issue for a site that charges $400 USD/year for a subscription to be able to read their articles.
