Lulz, I just learned about #countersocial.
What a bad joke, that makes it even more sad that people are falling for it.

@Muto Nein, du zahlst #Rundfunkbeitrag!

@matilde @Gargron I guess you can't really prevent that. IMHO that feature was ann attempt to prevent people from posting screenshots of tweets, which is also an antipattern.

How should I deal with the described posts then? I see that the possibility of commenting a post publicly *enables* abuse, but in the end it matters of *how* stuff is commented to make it abuse or not. Furthermore, I'd prefer to "that thing @ foo did is bad" instead of "@ foo is bad (as a whole/ as a person)"

@matilde @Gargron It's probably another use case. I just wanted to point out that CommentRT doesn't only have downsides. One can weigh the different consequences of that feature against each other and then decide for being better of without it, though.

@matilde @Gargron I'd like to object to that: Rebroadcasting things you disagree with in a framed way is important for discussing/ pointing out things you find wrong with an explanation to your followers.
There are some things I don't discuss with the original posters (e.g. I don't discuss with nazis), but I still want to educate people about their manipulative arguments or lies.

Even more important, criticism and the object of critics are a single unit.

@Gargron What's your favourite oil then?

@leszek Übrigens ist die aktuelle Firefox Engine immer noch Gecko. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gecko_(software)#Future
Quantum ist keine neue Engine, sondern bezeichnet das Integrieren von Rust Komponenten aus Servo in Gecko.

@thomas @shibayashi I'm also using a stand-alone one myself but still am a bit torn by their decision because it is just one of the last important old subscription mechanisms of the open web.
I didn't really use these "live bookmarks", but feed discovery will be gone as well as the possibility of rendering feeds in Firefox at all. People will just see a pile of XML instead.

@shibayashi no, all support for Feed parsing & discovery is going to be removed.

The internet: "Hey, remember RSS? You can use that to follow news without manipulative algorithms in-between."
Mozilla: "Thx for the reminder, we now remove RSS feed support" m( https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1477667

What'cha doing, :firefox: ? ?
