Crunchyroll Faces Cancelation: Why Anime Fans Are Choosing Piracy After Latest Update (fandomwire.com)

Recent reports have announced that Crunchyroll, the largest anime streaming service, will be replacing Aegisub with Israeli Software, OOONA, to produce subtitles more efficiently. Anime fans across the world are disappointed with this collaboration due to Israel’s ongoing genocide against Palestinians (via a report by the United Nations Commission of Inquiry).

Crunchyroll is also ignoring the needs of groups who require Closed Captions to understand the scenes better. They are isolating a large chunk of their audience in favor of AI-based subtitling, which defeats the point of a streaming service. Overall, this hasn’t been a great year for Crunchyroll, and this won’t be the end of it.

I love user tags and vote tracking for this exact reason. It makes spotting these repeat posters SO much easier:

Is that an app? I've been hoping someone makes a desktop client that improves the lemmy experience like the reddit ones used to do

Yeah, it’s Voyager. You can long-press on a username to add a user tag. And if you come across the same account later, editing the tag will give you a button to jump to the comment you originally used to tag them.

It also automatically tracks votes, so that [-6] is my running vote total for this user. So I tend to downvote them pretty often compared to upvotes. It makes spotting trolls/idiots a lot easier.

Lastly, (though it isn’t marked here) it will add a baby emoji to any accounts that are new. That one is nice because you often find brand new accounts posting really divisive shit, and they’re obvious troll/astroturf accounts once you realize they’re freshly made.

Yeah I'm still bouncing between apps bc none of them have all of what I want (mostly to do with swipe gestures plus picture and video functionality--basically trying to replace sync but nothing lives up to it). But at least the new user icon shows up on desktop these days.
