You're not wrong. But I think that's more a culture thing. The media - not just traditional print media - is feeling increasingly fragile since the shift away from newspapers. So while there's an appetite for it, news sites w

That was my initial takeaway. I suspect that the outlier is the initial connection / handshake, and that all subsequent requests were much faster thanks to the QUIC / 0-RTT session ticket. But I can't see anywhere this is men

I did wonder that. While technically that's true, in reality I believe: - They are under no obligation to keep your data if they delete your account - They are under no obligation to give you your data in a human-readable format - If t

Absolutely. There has been some beautiful, deadpan sarcasm on this thread and I'm here for it...

Yep, let's be specific, the comment in question was: # Maybe this has been written for women, having calculated their age ;) Given that this person is clearly not natively english-speaking, there is a possibility that you ar

I don't think they are evil, merely misguided. It feels like the "right thing" to have a CoC, and it only makes sense if you make it enforceable, and that only makes sense if you make it comprehensive. So I understand how we

Yeah, I presumed the only sensible reading of that sentence was "don't use sarcasm and jokes, as sarcasm and jokes are things that can be misinterpreted". Don't get me wrong - I understand that with an international comm

I fear you have constructed a tectonic collision from a small mammal's soil-based home. If you are arguing against the phenomenon of CoCs in general, then I agree - they are a blight, rife with overreach and often easily misused to jus

Somebody clearly disagrees with you, but you certainly aren't alone! [When I wrote this, you had been downvoted. Though it only occurs to me now that the sarcasm might have been completely lost on some people!]

Yeah, I just worry about the way they've lumped them together. I know some people who are sarcastic with every sentence they write. And I worry that unless the moderator's messages are very clearly worded, they may not realise tha

You see, I see this as a mis-step, and I think it's important to discuss such missteps. But I don't know enough about the internals of Vivaldi the company to know whether the company has bad attitudes and this is yet another manif

This is sarcasm. You have just broken their CoC... be thankful it wasn't on their forum!

Yep - losing your email account for misusing your email account makes sense. Losing your email account for being too sarcastic on a forum about your browser software seems weird, to say the least.

Yep - sorry if I wasn't clear on that, I didn't suppose any other forum was affected by this. But since their forum is one of the best ways to get / give help on the Vivaldi browser, and since I imagine most people who use vi

Not sure how I feel with this. On one side, not many people have Vivaldi email accounts, so probably not a big deal at this point. And if you're going to have a code of conduct, at least it's a CoC with teeth. On the other side, i

I think it would be useful to know what kind of profile you fit, because everyone's must-haves are slightly different. For example, I would add: - at least opens 180 degrees: I often find myself having to do the odd bit of work in the

Yeah, but most people are fine with (or at least resigned to) capitalism. What they object to is a lack of choice - especially when their choice is being actively subverted by a huge monopolistic entity (that said, if/when this feature

This is a complicated question, and for those new to this kind of discussion, it deserves a complicated answer. This is not that answer, but here are some thoughts: a) We are a reactionary species, unfortunately. And that served us well whe

Maybe, but I think there are social contracts that you are overlooking. If I write a rule, and then I violate a rule (or refuse to censure someone for violating a rule) then I can be rightly accused of hypocrisy. People believe themselves t

I absolutely agree about both the impetus and the danger of this currently prevailing viewpoint. I will speak to the motivation however, because I'm a reconcillatory kind of person most of the time, and unlike this CoC I do believe int

Sadly true. But I reluctantly stop short of attributing that nasty side-effect as a defining goal of the CoC movement, because - you know - I always try to assume good intentions :) (Though, if you feel Hanlon's razor is a better motiv
