I was just making a post on another community, and after writing it out, I went to revise the title, and subsequently the post body disappeared. Might be related to including an image upload. Had to rewrite the post body and ended up shortening it quite a bit.

Enthusiasm is important, but being champion requires a great deal of skill as well.

My ability to downvote posts in a community should not depend on the mod of that community being ok with it. "This is my community, and I don't want downvotes" would only be an acceptable attitude if seeing the community at all was opt-in, but it's not. Everyone sees everything unless they've already blocked the community or user.

Thankfully it's easier to block a user than it is to create an account.

After I participated in the other thread, I thought of a couple more scenarios where downvoting is useful:

  • "this post is low effort"

Downvoting is a useful feedback tool to say hey OP, I have given your post an amount of my time that your low effort post did not earn. Try harder next time.

  • "we don't need yet another community for this topic"

If a person creates a new community for a topic that already has one (or more), to get around the community blocks that users have already put up, that's functionally very similar to ban evasion. I'm tired of blocking repeat communities. If I see a person make a new community for a topic that is practically identical to one that exists, a downvote is warranted.

I'm not telling you my opinion should overrule the other arguments here, but it's better to have all sides present so it's not just an echo chamber.

"due to of"

Yes I like having downvotes. I use downvotes to notice trends of spam so I can better identify who to report/block.

That site sabotages the back button, fyi.

ALSO the downvote disabling feature never worked as intended. It only blocks lemmynsfw accounts from downvoting anything, lemmynsfw or otherwise. THIS account could already downvote anything federated.

I love this kind of community in theory, because I love learning about how things work, but I don't love the posts asking for creature identification. Those are less how things work and more "I need an expert on this geologic region's fauna" so they seem like completely different topics to me.

I don't want to see spiders in my feed, but I'm happy to see curious objects. If I block the community due to the spiders, I miss out on the curious objects.

Just started today. Possibly related to the recent updates.

Swiping to back out still works, at least for images

After editing a comment, UI fails to load the next page. Haven't tested if it's only in non-native instances.

Anyway, if I want to review an edit, I have to hit back twice, refresh, then scroll to find my comment again.

I'm all about insulting pathetic losers like him, but the content of this picture isn't what makes him a loser. Gutting Twitter, releasing that horrible car and being a sexual abuser are what make him a loser.

No offense to other guys with long hair who wear leather.

Looking at the blown-up thumbnails while waiting for the full-size images to load is pretty uncomfortable for my eyes... they search for detail that isn't there yet, and get strained. If there was an option to just see a spinning wheel or similar, I'd choose it in a heartbeat. Alternatively, displaying the image line by line as it loads (slow scan from top to bottom) would be even better, as it would allow me back out before loading the whole thing.

I just upgraded from a Galaxy J7 to a Pixel 3, which seems to have fixed the following problems:

  • Clicking on my profile shows me someone else's profile

  • Refreshing immediately after changing profiles results in no block list being applied

So, it seems those issues were specific to older hardware.

I am still seeing the issue where trying to save redgifs videos in-app only saves a stub file instead. Though, seeing as redgifs made their videos unsaveable in browsers, maybe this is due to deliberate site shenanigans. Voyager seemingly also can't do this. Though, Voyager doesn't download anything at all, as opposed to Connect's stub files. If the resulting file is non-functional, I think saving nothing would be better, ideally with an error message saying the file could not be saved.

I mentioned this in a comment but I figured it would get lost there.

The recent update means redgifs videos now load (yay) but reveals a new problem: videos cannot be saved in-app. Attempting to do so (with file permissions enabled) instead saves a tiny file with the same name, but none of the data.

As redgifs disallows saving from their site in-browser, this effectively makes redgifs content unsaveable.

Any solution or workaround would be appreciated.

Do you have a cat? There would be several episodes about Spot breaking various ship systems and causing cat-astrophes

  1. Get a password on your phone

  2. ~~Get a girlfriend who isn't a jealous bitch~~ explain to your girlfriend that if she wants people to respect her boundaries, she should respect theirs

Hello everyone. I recently learned there are a handful of people in my community who engage in non-barriered intercourse by default (sex with multiple partners without condoms).

I try to keep to only one non-barriered partner, to minimize any STI spread that may occur. Though testing is important, there are risks that 1. A test may be wrong, and 2. An infection can be introduced and spread after a successful clean test.

Also, my partner has a history of getting BV if her non-barriered partner(s) have other non-barriered partners. So, we keep it to only one non-barriered partner (for intercourse).

Any thoughts on this? Is it ethical to have more than one? Is it sustainable to only have one?

If you are going to sit there and pretend that dems do damage to our country like republicans do, go sit at the kids' table. Voting is for grown-ups.
