I'd say in a site like Reddit where every comment is voted on to change its visibility to begin with, there is no need whatsoever for such a tool. The amount of overmoderation on the site is ridiculous. You have the site admins, then t

It is nothing short of a disgrace that we can't even personalize the fonts in whatsapp and similar clients.

If your bodily rights supersede anyone else's rights to their body, then someone with lung cancer can go ahead and murder someone to obtain a new pair of lungs.

Even if that's the case, do you understand that the vast majority of society would consider such thing absolutely psychopathic? What I'm trying to get to is that "My body my choice" is a nice thing to chant at a protest,

No, when you leave that govt office you don't have any link to those companies. When you visit a site with Google Analytics, they still have your data after you leave.

Requiring users to send pictures of themselves in order to tag them black / not black and restricting posters in specific threads to black people or nonblacks that pass a test is absolutely 100% bigoted. It may be bigotry some are open

At which point is this about race? Isn't this more like knighthood in the olden times?

Information goes from one player to other, it used to be that the circles for this were small (relatives, classmates etc) but now it's the whole world. Besides of what you are talking about, it also affects developers, it is not that s

I don't think you can possibly aim this towards ideas, it's just a tool to develop an echo chamber. You can use it to block neonazis, you can use it to block trans activists, it's about dismissing some kind of content either

There is absolutely nothing wrong with a product not catering to everybody. Even moreso when we are talking about a work of art.

>if everyone were to start using Vanced overnight, YouTube wouldn't be able to justify staying up indefinitely. Good. I find the idea of Google having an effective monopoly on video streaming disgraceful.

There ain't no welfare state on heaven or earth that makes enough of a difference for new grads to earn 14-18k yearly (before tax). Good afternoon from Spain.

While we are at it, the cost of a product should depend on its objective value, not what the market pays. My point being that sure, ideally it wouldn't be like that, but any implementation I can possibly think of is not viable at all.

The idea that the average income for men and women isn't the same is not fiction at all, it's completely real. It is also not the idea that is frequently paraded around when talking about a pay gap, since it can actually be argued

Reddit is grossly overmoderated. You have a vote system that enforces a hivemind by itself, on top of a normal moderation system that deletes an enormous amount of content, on top of automated moderation banning posts if you use this or tha

It's an old idiom that people started saying wrong a long time ago, its correct, original form is "Eat your cake and have it too".

It is also very easy to fall into the trap of assuming you know why it was put there, only because you found out one reason. Being aware of this, it is easy to assume that, no matter how many reasons you can think of as to why something was

I've always thought that a project like this, enabling piracy while being financed via Patreon, would eventually meet its doom once some bee's nest is struck. I'd like to hear thoughts on the matter.

Sure, I think that's fair, yet a restriction on freedom of speech, which doesn't have to be inherently bad. Going with the same kind of example: society agrees that murder, thievery and lying are bad things, yet find it justifiabl
