Sorry to disappoint you, but this kind of behavior is not exclusive to Reddit. Lemmy has its own share of power-trip mods in some communities. I thought (wrongly) that someone that took the effort of leaving Reddit and coming here would think differently than the average Reddit mod, but I guess the allure of demonizing anyone that disagrees with you is too irresistible for them.

Yeah, I noticed that the JavaScript bloat is slowly taking over Wikipedia.

Most CPUs I've found in these Chinese sites claim they're used parts, probably from old servers from Chinese companies, which explains the amount of Xeons being offered. But if the part comes in the original box, why would Intel/AMD create an official package for these failed QA parts?

Why are grey market CPU parts more prone to failure? For GPUs I can understand due to possible mining usage, but CPUs too?

Yeah, Dark Reader is a godsend. I just got tired of all the light mode webpages and took matters into my own hands.

In a world where historical figures are repeatedly represented in media with the wrong ethnicity, that VA's complaint seems like irony.

But seriously: if Genshin really aimed at accuracy, they'd have to portray the character as some old guy, which is totally contrary to the tone of the other characters in the game: youthful, cool-looking, modern.

I'm a user of the fork "NewPipe Sponsorblock", and so far I received no update.

I read it too fast that I thought TorrentFreak was down. 😅

I'm not saying it's a literal witch hunt. Never heard of metaphors and figures of speech?

And just shouting "your opinions suck!" and running away is hardly productive to a healthy discussion. If you have any counter-arguments to the topic at hand (the individual "likes" being hidden on Twitter/X), feel free to present them.

I think people with ridiculous views should not have an issue with being ridiculed for those views.

You're under no obligation to agree with another person point of view. But, if you're presenting your arguments in good faith, you should be prepared to listen to the person you disagree with in good faith also. If you immediately disregard what others have to say just because you think it's "too ridiculous to consider", or throw the ad hominem starter pack: bigot, nazi, far-right, trumper, etc, then you're just insulating yourself in a bubble in the best case scenario, or showing you don't have the capability to articulate your argument effectively in the worst case scenario.

It really feels like you're the immature bunch, trying to hide who you are because you're too fragile to own up to it if it's being scrutinized.

It's not a matter of trying to hide anything for the sake of it. It's just that some people use the free availability of a user's previous posts/likes as a shortcut for "whataboutisms". You may disagree with other posts I made, but what is being discussed here is the reasonableness of individual "likes" being public or not.

I think the crude scrutiny of a persons past posts to be, in many cases, dishonored. The person being scrutinized may have changed their views since then, specially when the post is years-old.

If you disagree, you're free to offer your counter-arguments.

You have just proved right there why current internet users in general don't have the maturity to have likes publicly visible. The urge to do a witch hunt is just too irresistible.
