I live and breathe on the internet and have never been moderated once, even freely expressing myself, insulting people who deserve it, etc. My point here is that if you think the current social media options have "heavy handed" moderation, you're probably the problem, not them.

Try to point out something correct but moderately controversial. I think I've been modded for: - trying to get people to hate less on Russians - on the other hand, in the same forum: trying to tell some over eager people that no, Russians aren't saints and it isn't all NATOs fault. - pointing out (as an insider that was supposedly one of the victims in a major news story recently) that the "facts" didn't check out at…

I fully agree, we shouldn't hate Russians, they only wish to expand their lebensraum as it is their birthright. We shouldn't blame them for doing the right thing.

wow thanks! that makes me rethink about every potentially doxing or regrettable comment I may make, knowing there is no such thing as deleting my comment.

Wait, you thought of all places on the internet, hackernews would forget about your posts? :-D

Sure. But there are proper ways for it. Legal ways. There are reason why those behaviours more and more get outlawed in different countries.

If someone makes it clear they are interessted in dating, then yes, go for it. But just to exist is not a clear hint for this. Dating is still special case of social interaction, not the default.

> > victim > This mentality underlies a very unhealthy view of dating imo.

This has nothing to do with dating. The victims here are mainly the people who are forced to cope with that crap, but never asked for it, and don't wanna date any of those people for whatever reason.

The joke here is, we do have elaborated spamfilter and adblocker to get rid of all the annoying crap in our mailboxes and webbrowser, and most user accept it as neccessary because ads are just aweful. Yet we still don't have filters for dickpics and sexual harrasment. Quite funny, just because it's Humans doing the same, instead of business?

There are inherent sexual dynamics in any social circle, be it myspace, facebook or the workplace. I don't think the current trend of perceiving any unwanted sexual interest as inherently bad is at all healthy for society. P.S: i know and remember a lot of my friends who found their S.O. through facebook so it being alive arguanly disproves the assumption behind >Kinda speaks for that myspace failed so fast...

Molesting? Catcalling? Holy cow, is that cynical. You think the women I met and the friends I made are victims? These are people I still stay in touch with 15 years later. Who said anything about dickpics except for you? The internet has become truly grim if any non-monetized form of looking to hook up or hang out can be considered an act of violence or harassment.

I try to get away from all that by hosting a site on gopher. Neocities would be another option, if you need the eye candy. I hate social media, going so far as to delete both my reddit and Mastodon accounts. But this is tempting. It gives me the feeling I used to get when listening to tunes and surfing last.fm

Can you elaborate on why you hate Mastodon as well? I signed up, never really got into it, but kind of always intended to.

I personally don't hate Mastodon but I've never found an instance that clicked for me. Feels like a more confusing Twitter but happy to be re-educated

But showing clear signs of interests is exactly what you seem to be against. If no one is allowed to start an interaction then how is it supposed to start?

>The victims here are mainly the people who are forced to cope with that crap, but never asked for it, and don't wanna date any of those people for whatever reason.

It seems to me like a simple fix; when someone approaches you you tell them "sorry not my type/interested/looking."

Or just block messages from people you don't know.

I'm not keen to destroy all social interactions for the sake of the people who cannot handle them.

> Yet we still don't have filters for dickpics and sexual harrasment.

I see where you're coming from, but I disagree with your solution, which is to just prevent any interaction that's sexual in nature (although dickpics are not the same thing as what op was suggesting).

That's what 10 years of hardware improvements actually looks like without 10 corresponding years of software degradation.

Underrated comment. Strangely the opposite is true for the linux kernel - seems to run better and better on old hardware every year.

It's a shame that the userland doesn't keep up pace as well. I'm told that even old CLI utils start to get bloated now.

And you would only take that approach as a judge in the United States if you believed that the Constitution was a nearly flawless document worth preserving in its original form. Why else? Point me at someone who believes the Constitution is deeply, deeply flawed and in serious need of major revisions yet takes an originalist approach in their jurisprudence.

All of the people who supported amendments?

Server side rendered content is better in nearly all cases. From some reason people think that offloading html/css rendering to users is somehow faster. It really isn't. My home site is faster to access half way across the world served from a raspberry pi than twitter is.

Client side rendered won't be faster all things being equal since they'll have to make at least an extra round trip request after the initial (html/js/css) requests for data from the API, but it should definitely be much cheaper since you can lean on the client's compute rather than solely your own servers.

"Lean" on the client's compute. Some websites should be ashamed, because what they are doing is basically "stealing" client compute with overbearing JS. A lot of news sites, for one.

Compute? Rendering JSON and HTML via a template I imagine are roughly equivalent.

You can make anything slow if you make it complex enough. I have a slow mobile and in-browser Reddit loads in about 10 seconds or so. Twitter is not much better.
