No, endocrine disrupting chemicals - which include pesticides, bisphenols, and phthalates.

I think the protest crippled reddit considerably. It robbed reddit of a significant number of quality users and moderators, caused an extreme amount of media attention, and created enough of a problem for Google that they had to change course in order to compensate for all the broken links and noticeably poorer search results.

The main reason it looks like it had a much smaller effect is because a lot of missing users have been replaced by bots. And given how hostile those bots are with respect to moderators and the protest, it seems clear that they were put in place by reddit themselves. So don't be fooled by "traffic is normal" announcements and metrics. They mean nothing by themselves.

The protest caused a lot of users to start looking for alternatives and it shed a lot of light on the fediverse, giving it an incredible amount of exposure. People now know that it exists and know that there are alternatives to reddit.

Remember, the worst is yet to come after June 30th when those API changes take effect.

Sequestering is absolutely not bullshit. It's done for very important reasons and judges are very careful about not ordering it unless it's truly necessary.

You have given zero information that we need to offer relevant advice. You haven't told us your gender or the gender of your partner, what your ages are, what your respective experience levels are, what you normally like to do, etc...

Any specific advice anyone tries to give you would be nothing more than throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks.

If you want good answers, you need to provide more information.

I get where you're coming from. I think it's the result of being subscribed to a thread we comment in - so we get notifications when someone posts anywhere in that thread, not just directly to our comments.

If you look at the nesting, you'll see that I wasn't responding to you, but to Hillock.

I actually agreed with your post. :)

If you have chosen to hide NSFW content, then what do you care if people who have it enabled have it as part of their feed?

What do you think the point is of subscribing to a sub is if it isn't incorporated into your feed? You are literally asking to break how kbin is designed to work.

No one is saying that blurring shouldn't be an option - just that it should either be tied to a user's NSFW setting or that it should be a user-selectable option.

There is no reason why blurred thumbnails can't easily be made into a user-selectable feature. That makes everyone happy.

Hi, ernest!

If this is a known issue that you intend to address, and it's just a matter of priorities, then I'm happy.

Everyone appreciates all the work you've been doing, and I hope you're getting help to ease your burdens.

You have no right to say that the way you, personnally, use kbin is to be forced on everyone else.

Different people have different preferences. Kbin is perfectly capable of addressing both major branches on this issue, so it doesn't make sense to throw away one entire side just because you prefer the other.

If you want forum specific content that is generally considered spicy, go to that forum directly rather than complain that every other forum not handle your need for spicy content in an effective way for all parties.

This has nothing to do with complaining about how other forums handle this.

This is about how kbin handles it, and kbin is designed to incorporate multiple forums from multiple instances. In other words, we're talking about how kbin should be able to do what it's designed to do even better.
