Probably not gonna work very well with a bunch of bullet holes in it.

You’d probably be tossed out a window before the day was over, TBH.

show runner who isn’t going to monkey with the source material

When’s the last time THAT happened?

Ah… I’ve heard more than one person saying they can see it despite having blocked bots and not seeing other bots. Sounds like there’s a technical issue somewhere.

Pretty much all Israel sites, for one. Jerusalem Post, etc.

It’s a standard lemmy feature, yes.

… that this bot doesn’t respect.

Some people have mentioned https://ground.news. I haven’t tried it, this is not a vouch for their credibility.

Mods, not admins. Though there’s some overlap in this case.

Not the whole comment, but the word would get removed. It also applies to any comments posted to communities hosted on the server.

So much for free speech, eh.

Jihad, civilised disagreement. Potayto, potahto

Many people disagree with the bot existing. Blocking it is just a surrender, downvotes show that the disagreement continues and lets others know it exists.

Says an attempt to manufacture outrage.

I hate to say this, but you’re exactly the reason why Youtube and other services feel safe and comfortable enshittifying their services.

Capitalistic? Lemmy.ml does it too.

You mean things like babies with extensible arms?

This isn’t lemmy, this is a specific community. And your argument brings us back to the whole issue between mods and community members.

Being a dick to someone trying to make the place better

Members of a community do have a stake in the community, and in this case, are trying to keep the place from getting worse. It’s an open question who the dick is in the discussion, especially since it was an open call for feedback that then subsequently ignored every comment that disagreed with the idea. It very much came across as a call for ‘positive feedback only’.

‘Feedback’ does not mean ‘fix my idea for me’. Just because something isn’t your area of expertise doesn’t mean you can’t point out when there are flaws in something. It’s like getting served a dish that tastes horrible, then the restaurant says you can’t complain because you’re not offering a solution.

We should want analysis to be from the perspective of a typical fast food eating, reality tv watching, not-super-engaged American

Why? Lemmy is a worldwide site.

It’s fine to reward those who’ve spent more time and effort more - as long as we remember and acknowledge that we need everybody else to make society work too, and the baseline of even the lowliest workers is reasonably comfortable.

You’re missing the point of the comment you’re replying to, which is that the devs don’t understand decompilers RIGHT NOW, and it’s formatted in a tongue in cheek way similar to their current comment about VCS
