Yeah, it's honestly quite upsetting. I've heard similar complaints from alcoholics who are trying to quit drinking being unable to block or hide ads for alcohol. Reddit's approach to advertising is terrible as it is, but this sort of thing is just downright irresponsible and not ok at all.

Happy cake day!
Jfc, apologies for the multipost. Anyways...
...can you burn a Luigi board?
Never used the app, never plan to, but I can't even handle the main site now. Have (diagnosed) PTSD due to religious trauma, and those fucking unblockable "He Gets Us" ads are intolerable.
Right? Completely disregarding the fact that all content is user generated and moderated by volunteers. I raged when I saw that statement.
Yup, I usually download a snapshot every year or so. It's more because I feel ways about digital archival, but it's super convenient to be able to access that information offline as well.
Who were you denvercoder9? What did you see?!
Does it only log usernames, or does it record ip addresses as well? I am much more okay with one than the other.
It seems these multi-posts are typically coming from a user getting an error message when their post actually goes through, then they try posting again.
After I learned about that I've been bookmarking comments I want to reply to, copy my intended post in another document, then check later to see if what I wrote was actually posted. If yes, yay, don't have to worry about multiposting. If no, I just post once the server isn't being weird.
You know, I came in here with the mindset that the topic of discussion here isn't a bad thing; I'm largely pro information-should-be-open-and-available. But you've argued a very solid point, and I've changed my mind on the issue. I appreciate you sharing this perspective!
