Wouldn’t be a properly fascist bonanza without them, would it?

In future, try using a descriptive post title, such as the article headline, rather than something generic.

I definitely agree that the ability to share filter lists would be a major improvement to how Arctic handles it, particularly when Lemmy and Piefed need all the help they can get in streamlining the experience for new users.

An official repository would definitely be useful, likely increasing user adoption of filters.

Just goes to show that Trump’s statements about peace in Ukraine are pure theater, and nothing else.

What’s vile are the MAGA attempts to falsely tie the shooting to transgender Americans who are already being persecuted for who they are. Pushing back against that, particularly when the far-right is responsible for far more extremist-linked deaths than the far-left, is the only sensible thing to do.

You and your transphobic perspective are the problem, not the other way around. Just as there’s no place in civilized society for racists or bigots, there’s no place for those who go out of their way to deliberately put people down for expressing who they are.

While I think that approach would be beneficial to new Lemmy and Piefed users who are likely to be overwhelmed by a deluge of unfiltered content, I think it would also be helpful to have an “expert mode” built into the app to construct such filters. As a comparison, while uBlock Origin’s filter lists are extremely helpful for ad blocking, the ability to write additional filters oneself locally adds a degree of personalization to the process. If the process were confined to filter lists, I’d personally write my own given the meticulous detail to which my existing filters go.

Regardless of which approach is taken, however, I definitely think that there is merit in supporting the five aforementioned filter types; identifying filters as applying to either the title or post content enables the blocking of specific reoccurring posts without accidentally catching others in the filter, blocking URLs enables filtering out fake or biased news sources (per one’s own standards), or otherwise unwanted content, without blocking posts discussing those sources (i.e. blocking links to YouTube without blocking headlines mentioning YouTube), blocking community names enables pre-filtering communities that a user isn’t interested ahead of time in without blocking them individually (i.e. any community with ‘meme’ in the title), and username filters enable the blocking of posts by certain users without blocking the visibility of their comments on other posts.

Lastly, I also think that even if json filters were used, that regex support should be maintained, so as to minimize the number of individual filter entries needed and apply the filters as broadly or narrowly as intended by the filter’s creator.

Zombies in the ocean? /s

Edited it again to avoid implying that they’re not underpaid, as the billions in profits that those companies make is certainly exorbitant.

Countries are legally bound by the 1948 Genocide Convention to oppose genocides, something that recognizing the self-determination rights of the Palestinian people before they are wiped out entirely is consistent with, whether or not Republicans recognize it.

I’d prefer to be living in a liberal democracy than in a xenophobic, conservative, fascist state is all.

Trapping hard-working H-1B immigrants—who are already (relative to American citizens without a visa at stake) in a weak bargaining position regarding salary increases—in the country unless their employers pay a $100,000 bribe is such a despicable thing to do.

Edit: As a reply pointed out, the law mandates that such employees be paid at par with other employees. Despite this, the dependence on the benevolence of one’s employer to remain in the country, in addition to the filing fees associated with any job transfer, already puts such employees at an inherent disadvantage.

Good thing they don’t believe in evolution either, or they would see the political Darwinism of geriatric MAGA voters not only being less likely to survive COVID, but also less likely to take any protective measures against it whatsoever.

Level 5?

Not only is Nintendo raising prices, but cutting jobs like that shows that they’re far too focused on profit over anything else.

Freedom of speech swirling further and further down the drain each and every day…

While the TestFlight version does have a ‘compact’ version, I think there should be an even more compact option that is just the headline, upvote/downvote count (or combined, per user preference), comment count, and time since posting, similarly to Arctic’s ‘Headline’ UI option.

Example:

The cruelty of right wing fascists and racists is beyond words.

Entirely unrelated to the original incarnation of LimeWire.

Unfortunately not Starlink: Battle for Atlas, which was one of the games I was hoping would have improved support implemented before Nintendo took down Yuzu and Ryujinx. There’s the Steam version, but being able to play as Fox makes it feel like the Star Fox game that the Switch is missing.

While I originally did get the game on my Switch, I’d much rather play it with the rest of my games on the Steam Deck.
