On Facebook I had a few death threats. One was a fucking doctor. He described in detail how he would murder me and it was disturbing as fuck. I posted screenshots of the conversation on his yelp page and reported him on Facebook. Yelp swiftly took those down and I don’t think Facebook ever did anything about his psychotic threats. Meanwhile I was banned from groups and temporarily from the platform several times for telling proud bigots they are pieces of shit.

They eventually permanently banned me from Facebook for posting that image of supposedly naked Donald Trump. The kicker was they did it like a year after I posted it. That platform is absolutely horrific with moderation. Basically if you support violence and genocide you’re fine but if you curse at people who do you’re not fine at all.

For evidence you’re right: see the downvotes on this comment. I’ve seen so many things downvoted that didn’t deserve it. People can misunderstand your comment and suddenly you’re at -20. Just a couple days ago this toxic fuck was telling me all sorts of weird things they claimed to know about me because I was downvoted for an opinion I wouldn’t have thought was unpopular at all. A couple people misunderstood, then a bunch more saw the downvotes and made false assumptions. It’s bizarre.

I’m glad that there are people convinced that the most misery you can feel is worth all the “joy”

Oh look another story for Republicans to pretend never happened

he tried to outflank the republicans from the right

You really expect to be taken seriously saying some idiotic shit like this?

Even if it weren’t, 10 minutes of scrolling confirms it’s true

It’s just because we LOOOOOVE genocide /s

Don’t we all? … I think very few people would choose Biden absent it being necessary to avoid the hellscape guaranteed by not voting for him

That’s what extra militant Joffrey says so it must be true.

Thank you for being a sane human 🙏

Uh I didn’t…

Ads work. It’s a fact. Just because it’s a sad fact doesn’t mean I want you to be sad.

The data is very clear… Ads work. They absolutely shouldn’t almost ever, but they do. With the cornucopia of analytics available, companies have long been able to see if their ads work, and if they didn’t, they would’ve stopped long ago. Hell even before the Internet they had ways to prove ads work.

edit: gotta say it’s pretty sad that so many simpletons downvoted this. Ya know, ads working is something that I hate. I hate ads. I want them all to go away. I’m simply stating a well known fact: they absolutely work, even on people like you and I who do our best to block and ignore them.

You’re pretty fragile if that fact upsets you enough to shoot the messenger.

The person you’re explaining websites to is a web developer and they are correct. There being a ton of websites needlessly dependent on JavaScript is well known and long lived.

They don’t work? How naive.

We already know the answer, hence my comment. We heard from you that windows is better and Mac os is trash. What else do we need?

It is absolutely bizarre to me that (a few, vast minority) people hate gnome so much. It feels smooth, modern, and stable while the others I’ve used feel mostly like an amateurish glitchy version of windows.

You could always just not use gnome and let others use it. I think KDE is janky but I don’t really say that until people jump on the gnome hate bandwagon

I just said not everything is apple and MS

But it kind of is though to a very large degree. So much so it’s like a fish being in water but thinking wetness isn’t a factor in any circumstance

Just keep whining about how superior you think you are like an average apple fanboy

Uh ok yeah thanks for the very relevant advice /s

Yep. It’s amazing how Microsoft fanboys come into the Linux communities spreading their weird biased takes

Everything out there is heavily influenced by MS and/or apple, the majority of influence coming from MS. Feels pretty apparent in my experience that if you’re shitting all over apple uis then you prefer the alternative. Apple’s so easily criticized but like 90% of their design choices I think fall outside that and are vastly more intuitive than MS shit.

Not true but weird flex “pfft this guy only knows two desktop environments!”

Seems like you’re not very familiar with the history of computer interfaces if you can write what you just did

So you like windows style UI. Great, good for you.
