Except it is encrypted, and pretty secure. That's not really related to the issue. Facebook complied with a subpoena as they are legally required to do so. Signal would have to do the same. The only difference there is that Signal doesn't retain decryption keys for your data so subpoenaing them would be pretty pointless except to prove that some conversation happened.
If you click your name in the top right you can go to your Profile which has a list of subscriptions as one of the tabs. Also under your settings you can make your home view be just your subscriptions instead of everything.
No way to set newest as default that I'm aware of yet - would be nice because I'm like you in that regard.
I respectfully disagree. A sub like AskHistorians generates tons of traffic for the site via google searches alone. It's also got 2 million subscribers that happily remain subscribed for the quality content with all the spam filtered out.
How far is he willing to take this? I mean AskHistorians hasn't gone full NSFW yet - but they are in a protest mode. Albeit one that still will end up producing decent content, just less frequently.
There are a lot of customizations out in the wild provided as CSS scripts to install with Stylus or JS scripts to install with a monkey plugin.
I'm using this plugin for collapsible comments everywhere right now. https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/468923-kbin-improved-collapsible-comments
Not sure honestly. And I reallllly suck at CSS so take what I say and did with a grain of salt. Here's what it looked like before my changes (me replying to you):
I then lowered a few sizes.
.comment figure > a > .no-avatar {
//
border-radius: 5px;
width: 1.615em !important;
height: 1.615em !important;
//
}
Same for the vote buttons
Pretty slick. The absolute positioning and sizing of the avatars and voting buttons is a little finnicky on Chrome. But tweaking the sizes a bit made it workable.
I could be wrong - but I'm not seeing anything that will help search engines index kbin.social effectively. There is a loose robots file, but I'm not seeing any indicator of site maps. Pretty much a necessity if you want to get crawled automatically.
I won't be surprised if the board ousts him over the PR mess he has created in the wake of this. But I highly doubt you can compare the two so closely. The board wants money and is presenting him with strategies. The dude is the CEO and is acting on those recommendations on his own accord. All the earmarks of a tech CEO who has finally drank too much of his own kool-aid. If anything I could see Ellen Pao being entirely his doing - and this is some weird cosmic force of karma coming back for revenge.
I mean...yea. You damn near broke the internet with this.
I used to particularly enjoy getting banned from subs for being mean - with a link to my comment being a reply to someone calling me an idiot and me telling them why they are wrong.
