Ah yes - a system that uses both fractions and decimals!

I was just having issues with your opener which sounds whole lot like justification.
Cloudflare is a business. Businesses protect their profits
You say that like it’s ok to do shitty things as long as “you’re a business protecting profits”
8.5" is not any easier to divide than 297mm. Try dividing 8.5" by 8. What is that? 12 pebbles and 14 glibglobs each?
You really think people are too dumb to remember 2 letter codes that are literally printed on everything? Come on man :D
6-9 holes? Is that where Swedes keep their meatballs
Letter is 215.9mm x 279.4mm lmao
It’s unrelated to the current topic but yes. Terms of service should be both ways. We already do that for user data through GDPR and similar laws and inevitably all users will have more rights including right to transparency.
I find it kinda funny that you argue against this on a platform that was founded because reddit was extremely opaque. We even have a transparent mod log here. So you really need more examples that transparency is good?
Nah man it’s completely different when society regulates itself through transparent rules vs opaque ones. It’s more organized and self balancing.
I never said it was a singular cause just a contributor
You have real stats to back that claim? Because leaving this up to benevolent dictators is kinda silly.
You don’t see how opaque manipulation fuels conspiracies and paranoia? Come on dude.
The rise of alt-right and conspiracies would be a one obvious one.
It’s definitely morally bankrupt imo and we can agree to disagree here as I don’t think this topic can be expanded further.
Effectiveness is irrelevant here. Breaking troll’s kneecaps would be very effective too.
This mental manipulation and gaslighting has no place in our society. We’re literally suffering the consequences of this right now.
Shadow banning is definitely too much imo. It’s simply unethical no matter how you look at it.
First, it doesn’t do anything to prevent bots. It takes less than a second for a bot to check whether they are shadow banned. It’s simply a tool to bully and gaslight people - just block them. Why these abusive games?
yeah but you don’t get to choose that. You give away that right as soon as you participate in public discourse. It’s a zero sum game - either it’s a public for everyone or no one.
Don’t get me wrong, Reddit is a bitch but I think people want to cut their noses off to spite their faces here. It’s much more important to have free information flow than to fuck reddit.
My fear is that people will vote in some really dumb rules to spite AI and restrict free information flow accidentally.
Following a developing thread is a very tiny use case I’d imagine and even then you can just scrape the backend API that is used on the public page for the same results as private API.
Scraping at scale is actually cheaper than buying API access. It’s a massive rising market, try googling “web scraping service” and there are hundreds of services that provide API to scrape any public web page and bypass the blocks for you and render all of the javascript.
your tantrum is much more cringe than any complain post I’ve ever seen lmao
