That’s most likely a cloudflare proxy.

As others have already pointed out, you can literally get the same result by using images as quotes. People could’ve been shitty even without the quotation feature because it’s not the feature on the platform that makes it shitty, it’s the people on the platform who decide to use it for a shitty purpose.

Not implementing a feature because morons may abuse it is not justification for not implementing a feature. It’s like saying we shouldn’t be able to reply to comments because someone might use that feature to directly send you hateful comments. Now, if the features primary purpose is (or primary use case ends up being) to use it negatively, then sure it shouldn’t be implemented. But I don’t see how quotation falls under this exception. In my eyes quotation is a net positive.

It doesn’t turn the platform shitty and if there are good moderators it also prevents assholes from trying to turn the platform shitty.

Tech savvy would be to start your instances. Going through the process of picking an instance and registering there is no more tech savvy than registering with facebook or any other online site. The complexity keeping people away isn’t technical, it’s domain specific. People don’t know how to choose an instance because they’re not given enough information to actually tell instances apart.

I have a more optimistic outlook. If they get spread out there’s a higher chance of them getting out of their echo chamber and becoming a normal person. And let’s be real, the worst of them will go into Lemmygrad to continue their circlejerk and thus won’t bother the wider fediverse. And the worst of them probably already have alts on other instances where they stir up shit.

If I didn’t know this was chapotraphouse I would consider it an excellent shitpost.

My only gripe with the new switch is the lack of ergonomics, which is also the issue with the current switch. But I don’t really care because chances are I’m unlikely to be using it in handheld mode with joycons. If I want to take the switch with me it comes along with a pro controller and I use the stand. I guess joycon quality is also relevant question mark.

But yeah, I’m also mostly interest in the software because Switch was pretty barebones. I’m definitely expecting more from Switch 2 (or whatever they’ll call it).

The thing is Linux doesn’t need to topple Windows. Linux just needs a big enough market share for companies to go “maybe we should also offer official support for Linux?”
