OP here: I haven't tested how exactly this would work but I think with some tweak to the scraping script I think I could have it hide muted comments pretty easily. From there moderation would also fall back to how things work on Mastodon- if someone is posting abusive comments I can report the post and have the instance admins take whatever action necessary against the infringer.

Whoops, I accidentally set the post to just the image rather than the site itself. Just corrected it ๐Ÿ‘

Wow thanks for posting this. I read through "On Being a ~~Computer Scientist~~ Human Being in the Time of Collapse" last night and haven't been able to shake its suggestions. The talk seemed to explicitly intend to be depressing but I found it weirdly inspiring.

I wish an ethics class were a mandatory part of more CS curriculums. The one elective I took was easily my favorite CS class and one that I think put me down the path that has lead me to be so enthralled by permacomputing (and, by proxy, the Merveilles community). It feels like far too few engineers I meet question the things they're building for their employers, and most worryingly, aren't very open to the idea of beginning to do so when presented with the idea that maybe tech doesn't solve all of our problems.

Hmm not sure if I'm missing something from Lemmy's UI but it looks like this is just linking to the image. I think this is the article page, but correct me if I'm wrong.

Either way, added to my reading list. Thanks for sharing!!
