Only users and communities. I'm not really complaining if it changed, I'd just like to understand the feature. That said, I usually thought blocking is about preventing interaction, and not about hiding content.

 

Until some time ago (a few weeks or so), I'm pretty sure I could still come across comments written by users I blocked. I know that because I started to tag the users because of that. Now I've noted that not only comments by blocked users are completely hidden from me, but the entire thread starting from them, including responses by other users, is invisible.

I'm not really sure if that's the intended behavior (and if it's piefed or my instance that does it).

Sorry, the "meme ecosystem"? What?

And let's assume the opposite side wins: Then there would be a ruling that if someone does not market their copyright and does not contest other people using it non-commercially, they also have to allow third others to use it commercially.

Which sounds to me like effectively abolishing the copyright system for anyone who can't afford paying lawyers to hunt down every little infringement, only leaving it up for wealthy corporations.

...so that's probably exactly how it's going to go, isn't it.

(Also, AI or not is really irrelevant for this case.)

There should be a law that if more than x% of the workforce is laid off, the entire C-suite has to go too.

Ugh. Whoever wins here, we lose.

Never heard of this. I have difficulty imagining where these Bluetooth mesh networks exist where they can cover more than a small neighborhood.

Why do they even need to change the designs?

I guess this could explain why I recently saw a comment having "-1" downvotes.

Is this a glitch in my app or how does this comment have a negative amount of downvotes?

I mean, it is a good quote.

There's no way this will become common. Non-visually impaired people don't want to read like that either.

Unless you're running a pottery.

Fair points. Thanks for your insight.
