Fair enough. Thanks for the info.

Paywall.

"They don't have a state now, so it's fine if I just vacuum them up into mine," is such toxic liberal bullshit in the first place, even if it were true. Pretty quintessential colonialism right there.

Blocking is still really bad on , TBH. If someone blocks you, you can't reply to anything anywhere underneath one of their comments. But other people still can. So it's a fabulous way to 1. get the last word, and 2. have all your brigading allies gang up on someone without them having any chance to respond unless they bring a brigade of their own.

It was a really shit idea. I think the only form of blocking that might actually make sense on Reddit is as a 100% voluntary "I don't want to see things this user posts; hide it from me (by default) by collapsing comments and removing posts from my front page (and maybe multis), and never give me a new-message alert if a reply or DM goes to my inbox (DMs could also just be prevented as they are private and can't be used to encourage others to harass you)." Anything else invites abuse in one way or another. Including not having the option to go back and see if the user is still stalking/defaming you at times and do something about it without unblocking them (with a timeout before you can re-institute the block).

In fact, (just) graying out (and collapsing) posts/comments by users you've blocked under a "post/comment by blocked user" heading so they tend to fade into the background and you know why you'd have to expand/visit them to see more would probably be ideal on Reddit. I don't know about other sites like Twitter, but pretending the behavior of others can't affect you in a public forum so you can just ignore them by poking your head in the sand doesn't seem like a great idea. Effectively having opt-in content warnings, on the other hand, is awesome.

I don't know about the battling, but maybe something could be done about making emojis easier to find/search. Doing a fuzzy text search where 15 million emojis still show up in the search for a particular term does not seem to help much, as it might as well still be a scroll through 20 million very roughly ordered images. Some kind of sort by most frequently used/up-voted could actually be somewhat useful, as could making the search function a little more picky.

This is a good suggestion and should not be considered a joke at all. Most-to-least significant ordering is what everyone should use, always. And hyphens are already incorporated into most standards with that ordering (e.g. RFC 3339 and ISO 8601). (Fixed widths are also important to allow lexiographic sorting when there isn't anything around to actually parse the dates into their separate fields, but that's mostly an automation/computing thing.)

I like suggesting this to users, but I'm going to vote "no" because I don't understand why it is a RULE, and I think other users can simply remind folks that this clutters stuff up when it happens. If this is just a proposal for adding the recommendation to the sidebar and no such modification will be made if it fails, let me know and I can change to a "yes" vote. If it means mods will come along and leave a bunch of "this post was removed by a moderator" (or whatever) comments in the place of the other undesired litter it disallows, I see no point.

Someday we'll come up with a magical formula for tricking these fucking idiot liberals into reasoning themselves into disbelieving their own existence and going POOF into a cloud of vapor, never to be seen again. LOL. God, I hate them.

The children were KHAMAS, obviously. 😒

I made the mistake of clicking on a post asking a question about salt content in bread recipes and had nothing but jokes and puns for the first 50 comments before finding someone who answered the question.

Just to hopefully help in case Reddit wasn't too useful, 0.5 to 1 teaspon of salt per normal (e.g. 1 lb) loaf is generally fine. You CAN also probably double or triple that, but the salt can interfere with the yeast growth, so you don't want to go too high and you also want to mix the salt in with the flour before having it come in contact with the yeast, so it's not too concentrated. While historically people talked about it giving the bread structure or some shit (due to slowing down the activity of the yeast), in reality it seems to just add some flavoring, and bread is probably even fine without it (if you search for e.g. "bread without salt" you'll find a number of recipes).

And tons of "Well, shutting down RT in places like the U.S. and Canada was JUST FINE after all, wasn't it?!" shit. Whew!

How dare /r/Israel silence Israelis. LOL. Get Reddit's CEO on the line immediately about this blatant anti-Semitism.
