Again, if you’re already that far down the rabbit hole, anything that tells you, “No, you’re wrong” is going to upset you. That includes a shadow ban, explicit ban, or somebody just telling you that you’re wrong.

If you think I’m wrong and you think shadow bans especially push people towards being alt-right and believing conspiracy theories, then I’d love to see a study that says so because that’s what would likely convince me.

So, you’re suggesting that shadow banning has caused the rise of the alt-right and their conspiracy theories, which implies that they wouldn’t exist without shadow bans.

Or they already exist and are in such a fragile state that even an explicit ban makes them upset (which it does.)

I'm pretty sure anybody who develops anything in the jailbreaking scene can tell you that Apple's source code is not open to the public.

I would hate snaps a lot less if Ubuntu just stopped trying to force me to use them.

I think a lot of people buy Macs because they think the only other choice is a computer running Windows.

I know this is a slightly different category, but Snapchat's UI is absolutely the worst- far worse than all of these. It's my go-to UI to pick on.

Oh, this reminds me of the company I'm working for right now.

"You want this promotion? Great! You're qualified and we'll have you do this project first to see if you like this work."

"Really? I have almost no experience with this programming language, but okay!"

Does project

"Actually, you're not qualified enough. Sorry!"

A week later one of the devs on that team apologized for the situation (not that it was their fault at all.) But still, what BS that all was.

Have you met Windows admins? 😛

In fairness, I’ve seen some Linux admins become completely hopeless as soon as any GUI appears.

… I am, though.

I guess it depends on habits, then. I use them all the time. Not as much as folders, but enough that I would rather the 2 have the same behavior.

People will be damned if…

  1. They are forced to do something for an additional 10 seconds.
  2. Their opinion is wrong.

Which is just another, less convenient way of turning a single click into two, no?
