I hope we can at least agree this was a good move and we’re in a much better position now to beat Trump
Thanks I hate it
You think that’s all legit? I don’t see permaban levels of rule breaking at all there. More admin and moderator boneheadedness causing mild irritation with users. You’re asking for feedback, then ignore most of that feedback, and now ban disagreement because they’re understandably frustrated with your responses.
Dutchie who speaks German here, I hadn’t heard of the word ‘Zangendeutsch’ before. I get what it means, but why ‘Zangen’? Does it come from tongs or does it have another meaning? Tongs-German makes no sense to me
I was joking. Just like you can’t be seriously claiming there is no consensus that the bot sucks and that all the net downvotes for that bot are due to a small minority of sockpuppeteers?
Maybe for you, but that’s not how I’m reading other people’s comments in there.
Right, so remove the shitty ones and don’t bother everyone else with it?
These people were specifically trying to get the bot removed? Must have hit quite a nerve. I know it was biased in favor of Israel, but it must have been even worse. That bot sucks so bad people make mass sockpuppet accounts just to tell you they want it gone
Then you understand the negative reactions. Especially regarding controversial topics such as Gaza where the bot preferred sources on one side to the conflict
Sockpuppetting? You have any indication of that?
The other thread started from the assumption that the bot is useful and here to stay, even though the overwhelming feedback has been that it sucks and should be removed. It was a transparent attempt to increase support for it instead of an honest attempt at feedback. People still gave their feedback, of course, that the stupid bot should be put out to pasture.
At least now we’re seeing the bot is gone until improvements are made, the bias stuff is gone, the bot shouldn’t even appear except in select cases. That’s totally different than what they’re saying in the other thread.
Mods should take note that this is how you listen to community feedback. Some actual learning is happening here, instead of doubling down we saw in the other thread
Why do you insist on fixing the bot instead of directing your energy elsewhere? Fixing the media bias bot to not have any bias is a fool’s errand.
It’s called jumpstyle. I found this video which is pretty good (at 1:20) https://youtu.be/aja2Wlp9OD0
The other dances are also very well executed. I think jumpstyle worked so well as a fad dance is because it’s easy to learn, variation is pretty basic, you can somewhat blend in if you can keep a rhythm. Whereas tectonik is fucking awesome but you look like an idiot unless you’re crazy good and wayyy confident.
I’m like “let’s look up some jumpstyle videos on YouTube for the onlookers in this conversation” but I think it’s all been deleted out of sheer cringe.
You can burn out at a job that only expects healthy hours because you’re an overachiever who refuses to take time off.

Cory Doctorow calls this one “it’s ok because we do it with an app” and urges regulators to enforce the laws already on the books. It’s an absurd defense legally, but there’s no enforcement of antitrust or consumer law at all anymore
Another unsourced map with probably heaps of inaccuracies. Everyone will becalling out errors in this map. I know at least one: Netherlands has Dunkin’ Donuts.
Charges dismissed does not mean he was found not guilty. They could charge him again. Given what we know, the cops fucked this up. No-knock raids are a death sentence.
automatic renewal but now I’m questioning it…
