Reply to How to bring back the old internet by Moonside
Ehhh, white supremacists were some of the earliest adopters of the internet. The problems with Parler, Gab, etc. aren't new. I don't think removing Section 230 will help anyone.
This person is arguing we should get rid of automated moderation is stone-cold stupid. There's more evils to be moderated than just nazis. Why should we subject humans to child pornography when we have automated tools that can identify a broad class of child pornography? And what's to stop the "good-faith human moderators" from being bad? Employing automated moderation is a necessary step of good-faith measures.
This person acknowledges that ISPs, etc. should still be seen as service providers, but the reality is that Twitter, etc. are practically utilities for common people nowadays. The common citizen doesn't have the ability to call a press conference or send mass mailings on a whim (like Trump does).
I think the root of this evil lies in the engagement and marketing algorithms that big sites use. It's like the Paperclip game about an AI that optimizes paperclip production (at the cost of everything else) https://www.decisionproblem.com/paperclips/index2.html
I almost feel like I'm missing some big parts of the argument here

but it's still very bad

Ahhh that makes sense, I am indeed using Ubuntu.
But, looking at the top playercount list, it seems I'm just lucky with the games I choose ;o!

Ah is this the case? Unfortunate :(
I've not had this experience, but I've not played many games with Proton. Primarily just Project Winter and Stardew Valley, both of which worked perfectly with no setup whatsoever.
Perhaps it can be remedied with some kind of community-built settings database, a-la the Steam Controller?
twovests wrote
All jokes aside, have you tried Steam Proton? I don't think there'll ever be a "year of the Linux desktop" but wow I can play so many games on Linux now

Reply to Does it seem like a security risk to have mods be able to edit other people's posts? by flabberghaster
So, we have moderation logs, but AFAIK they don't mark edits. This is good for, say, scouring the site of spam links or porn posts or whatnot.
For the health of a larger site run by postmill, I'd say it's definitely bad. Forum mods should not be able to edit someones post. Admins would have the power but probably shouldn't.
Not to be a "muh freeze peach" chud, but I think it's plainly icky for mods and admins to edit posts, even in jest. The only exceptions I could see are syntactically-clear mod edits, a-la "USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST".
