Thanks for clarifying :)
I guess the filter is looking for non-woke stuff? Whole lotta cuss words not filtered there…
Gonna guess things the n word, the b word, the r word, etc will be what gets the filter.
Should I switch to .world? It was borked when I went to create my account so I went with .ml, and I didn’t really expect to see any functional differences like comments getting filtered :)
I refuse to download their shit, and as such, I have no access to it. I don’t visit reddit on my computer, never have, never will.
Bacon went tits up at around 7PM pacific for me, and that was that. My last post was a farewell message to one of my subs, and I don’t even know what my last comment was. The baconreader icon still sits on my top 4 buttons at the bottom of my phone screen, and I’ve opened it first thing in the morning once or twice since, but it’s borked, and that’s that. I’ll put a Lemmy reader app there once I decide which one it’s gonna be…
C’est la fucking vie reddit.
Ok God damnit… Someone fucking explain the shitty ass chat filter to me please? I don’t know what was removed from dudes comment, but I’d kinda like to know if anything will get me banned before I go fucking around and get settled in here…
Sorry bud, not picking on you personal or anything like that, just a FNG from baconreader trying to sort shit out ;)
Edit- not a single “removed” here? I got the word removed removed from another comment…
More edit- yeah that word lol… Can I get banned for bypassing? Like if I say b***h? Can I get a warning or some shit here please?
You don’t have to die anywhere ;)
It’s got merit, and quite a few US insurers have similar programs, either via an OBD port dongle or through an app. My wife has an app on her cell phone that monitors her driving, and mainly cell usage, and frankly, I think that specifically is a hell of a good metric for safety these days.
I like it as an incentive. I DONT like it as a matter of law or policy, for previously state reasons.
You don’t gotta die on any hills though, I come for the simple discourse and don’t consider disagreement to be hostility. I just got removed resting comment syndrome or some shit I think ;)
God damn bud, thats the best comment I’ve seen in a long damned time :)
Lol… First they came for the people doing 20 over, and I don’t drive 20 over, so I said nothing. Then they came for the ones doing 15 over, and I don’t do 15 over, so I said nothing…
You’re talking about applying fees and profits to people deemed “less safe” by some arbitrary measurement, and assuming that said fees and profits will never be applied to you because you meet what will be the likely initial standard, but you’re assuming the arbitrary measurement will remain fixed… And it absolutely will not.
The thing is, the revenue you’re suggesting as an incentive to avoid those behaviors will become a documented and budgeted source of revenue for someone, somewhere, and if your pie in the sky works, and said revenue reduces because the roads get safer, the people who’ve budgeted that revenue will be incentivised to tighten the restrictions to regain the revenue loss, all in the name of safety, of course…
Of course, you have nothing to worry about if you’re willing to comply with the increasingly restricting goalposts…
It’s worse than it sounds… You’re not actually paying for ink, you’re paying for pages, in a similar context to how you used to pay for minutes for your cell phone.
A buck a month gets you 10 pages printed, 100 pages printed a month sets you back $6/mo, and so on.
The ink is shipped “free” when your cartridge runs out, and naturally, they figured out how to increase the ink capacity in the carts to be much higher than the ones they sell, so shipping a cart out will be much less frequent if you’re ponying up for each page you print.
Odds are it’ll be cheaper over the life of your printer as long as you’re a member of the residual income brigade…

I still open baconreader once in a while out of habit.
There’s a little message about “hey sorry but reddit fucked us”, then I remember there is no reddit anymore and I wander off :)
Former baconreader user. Made a Lemmy account specifically to upvote this ;)
I used baconreader, it was always ad free, so gold never actually did anything at all for me, they were always useless.
I thought that was the whole point of killing 3rd parties… either you get the feed full of ads that pay them via clicks, or you pony up for the gold.
The gold system allowed reddit to collect revenue from payers to give premium to non-payers. Basically it meant a non payer could pay. They’re eliminating that aspect. They’re reducing the number of people that can have paid access…
I don’t know what their intent is, but removing gold isnt logical, and it’s doubly illogical since the disabling of third parties increased the relevance of gold dramatically.
It’s like they went out and set up a T-ball stand and put the ball on it to set themselves up for a nice home run, and are now walking up and kicking the tee out from under the ball. Dafuq are they thinking?
