You didn't even read it, did you? You just disregarded it because it doesn't fit your world view. You are pathetic, scum of the earth. People present you with scientifically backed evidence showing how the world really is and you disregard it because it is brought to your attention by a group of people you find inferior to you.
you'd only be finding the comments on the articles that are already being talked about anyway, where there are comments on forums regardless. Seems pretty useless
Reminds me of a time in school when I got all browsers other than Internet Explorer banned for sharing a plugin where people could draw/write whatever they wanted on webpages and others with the extension could see it.
Could this be the true continuation of the legacy of drawing cocks on the school website?
It was hilarious when teachers didn't know shit about computers so you could just be a straight up asshole in so many ways. We put a set of speakers on full blast, unplugged the monitor while Peanut Butter Jelly Time loaded up. Old lady librarian was screeching like a banshee about it and couldn't figure out what to do.
Ctrl + Shift + Up Arrow would flip the screen upside down, do that on their computer and they have no idea how to fix it (think this only worked on Windows XP)
Inspect element edit the school website, claim it's been hacked, watch them freak out
Put a space and then back arrow in the login window before they get to the computer, watch them fail to log on for 20 mins
Use free website creators to host sites bullying teachers or someone else, host games, etc. Change the domain name for free when it's blocked
Fucking with them and wasting lesson time because they couldn't use their computer was probably our main source of fun in lessons
Good times. We used to ctl+alt+↑ or → to rotate the screens on all the library computers, then hang out and watch kids who put things off till the last minute panic when they sat down to write their essay at lunch.
I hate this shit. I mean sure 99.9% of the comments in comment sections are trash, but every once in a while there would be something worthwhile. Like if a news station posted some horseshit story that was easily debunked, typically someone in the comments would be calling it out. Not anymore. Convenient.
lmfao you actually treated comments on news stories as serious analysis hahahahaha your opinions are informed by NEWS STORY COMMENTERS omfg you fucking loser
When you read an article you're just reading the output of some 25-year old B- journo grad. When you read the comments, statistically, SOMEONE will know what they're talking about. There's just some shit mixed in alongside it.
They were fine with the trash comments for like a decade or more.
But then everyone decided they couldn't handle reading opposing political opinions, and site owners have no ability to tolerate stuff they don't like, so they just started deleting stuff or turning them off selectively.
Iâll get to the long version eventually, but first I want to stress that this isnât just my story. Itâs the story of everyone whoâs tried to host a space for political discussion on the Internet. Take the New York Times, in particular their article Why No Comments? Itâs A Matter Of Resources. Translated from corporate-speak, it basically says that unmoderated comment sections had too many âtrollsâ, so they decided to switch to moderated comment sections only, but they donât have enough resources to moderate any controversial articles, so commenting on controversial articles is banned.
And itâs not just the New York Times. In the past five years, CNN, NPR, The Atlantic, Vice, Bloomberg, Motherboard, and almost every other major news source has closed their comments â usually accompanied by weird corporate-speak about how âbecause we really value conversations, we are closing our comment section forever effective immediatelyâ. People have written articles like The Comments Apocalypse, A Brief History Of The End Of The Comments, and Is The Era Of Reader Comments On News Websites Fading? This raises a lot of questions.
Like: I was able to find half a dozen great people to do a great job moderating the Culture War Thread 100% for free without even trying. How come some of the richest and most important news sources in the world canât find or afford a moderator?
Or: canât they just hide the comments behind a content warning saying âThese comments are unmoderated, read at your own risk, click to expandâ?
The fact is, itâs very easy to moderate comment sections. Itâs very easy to remove spam, bots, racial slurs, low-effort trolls, and abuse... ...But once you remove all those things, youâre left with people honestly and civilly arguing for their opinions. And thatâs the scariest thing of all.
Some people think society should tolerate pedophilia, are obsessed with this, and can rattle off a laundry list of studies that they say justify their opinion. Some people think police officers are enforcers of oppression and this makes them valid targets for violence. Some people think immigrants are destroying the cultural cohesion necessary for a free and prosperous country. Some people think transwomen are a tool of the patriarchy trying to appropriate female spaces. Some people think Charles Murray and The Bell Curve were right about everything. Some people think Islam represents an existential threat to the West. Some people think women are biologically less likely to be good at or interested in technology. Some people think men are biologically more violent and dangerous to children. Some people just really worry a lot about the Freemasons.
Each of these views has adherents who are, no offense, smarter than you are. Each of these views has, at times, won over entire cultures so completely that disagreeing with them then was as unthinkable as agreeing with them is today. I disagree with most of them but donât want to be too harsh on any of them. Reasoning correctly about these things is excruciatingly hard, trusting consensus opinion would have led you horrifyingly wrong throughout most of the past, and other options, if they exist, are obscure and full of pitfalls. I tend to go with philosophers from Voltaire to Mill to Popper who say the only solution is to let everybody have their say and then try to figure it out in the marketplace of ideas.
But none of those luminaries had to deal with online comment sections.
The thing about an online comment section is that the guy who really likes pedophilia is going to start posting on every thread about sexual minorities âIâm glad those sexual minorities have their rights! Now itâs time to start arguing for pedophile rights!â followed by a ten thousand word manifesto. This person wonât use any racial slurs, wonât be a bot, and can probably reach the same standards of politeness and reasonable-soundingness as anyone else. Any fair moderation policy wonât provide the moderator with any excuse to delete him. But it will be very embarrassing for to New York Times to have anybody who visits their website see pro-pedophilia manifestos a bunch of the time.
âSo they should deal with it! Thatâs the bargain they made when deciding to host the national conversation!â
No, you donât understand. Itâs not just the predictable and natural reputational consequences of having some embarrassing material in a branded space. Itâs enemy action.
Every Twitter influencer who wants to profit off of outrage culture is going to be posting 24-7 about how the New York Times endorses pedophilia. Breitbart or some other group that doesnât like the Times for some reason will publish article after article on New York Timesâ secret pro-pedophile agenda. Allowing any aspect of your brand to come anywhere near something unpopular and taboo is like a giant Christmas present for people who hate you, people who hate everybody and will take whatever targets of opportunity present themselves, and a thousand self-appointed moral crusaders and protectors of the public virtue. It doesnât matter if taboo material makes up 1% of your comment section; it will inevitably make up 100% of what people hear about your comment section and then of what people think is in your comment section. Finally, it will make up 100% of what people associate with you and your brand. The Chinese Robber Fallacy is a harsh master; all you need is a tiny number of cringeworthy comments, and your political enemies, power-hungry opportunists, and 4channers just in it for the lulz can convince everyone that your entire brand is about being pro-pedophile, catering to the pedophilia demographic, and providing a platform for pedophile supporters. And if you ban the pedophiles, theyâll do the same thing for the next-most-offensive opinion in your comments, and then the next-most-offensive, until youâve censored everything except âOur benevolent leadership really is doing a great job today, arenât they?â and the comment section becomes a mockery of its original goal.
You can apparently still comment even if they remove the comment section from what the article said. BBC never allows comments but people were able to comment on it.
I feel like there should be at least a minor barrier. Maybe at least force account registration to post, but yeah, maybe you're right, read should probably be open to all.
Its kinda like that one extention that makes reddit comment section appear on YT videos rather than the yt comment section. Reddit comments are trash, too, but nowhere near thr degree of YouTube's. If I can have the slightly better comment section to look over, I'll take it.
Its a similar situation here. If people want comments that are more relevant to them, there's nothing wrong with that
There are so many of these internet commenting extensions now, it's completely fragmented and that especially sucks. My favourite is hypothes.is, but there's also the genius web annotator, and some are buggy some are not, some are popular some are not. Some support other filetypes, ex: local pdfs. Some don't.
I currently use 2 web annotators: Kami for local files and Hypothesis for web, but there isn't much of a hypothesis community.
It's so bizarre, when I was growing up freedom of speech was still seen as a left-wing thing. My opinions on it didn't change, but the support for it sure did.
Honestly, ceding freedom of speech and expression to the right-wing because some people have icky gross problematic opinions has got to be the biggest political blunder of the last few decades.
Gab aren't the first to try this, e.g. genius and hypothes.is
I was actually hoping for a fully decentralized, open solution. But if gab has the userbase to make it big, they may end up becoming a serious competitor after all. wouldn't that be sweet
some right wing retards made a platform literally only viewable by other right wing retards, and journo faggots are still seething
day of the broken pen when
I think there's clearly a market for this kind of thing, so it's only a matter of time before this or something along these lines proliferates. Must be absolutely terrifying for the journos, because currently they can get away with spewing absolute nonsense if they just turn the comments off. A good comment section is like peer review.
the new service lets users comment on news articles, YouTube videos and even individual social media posts â even if those sites donât have comment sections or have comments switched off.
Only the people with the extension can see the comments made in it. So essentially they made their own little retarded echo chamber comment app to feel special. Bless their hearts
To be fair though, if more people used it then it wouldn't be an echo chamber, it's a natural echo chamber because everyone is repulsed by gab users, not a manufactured one like you see on reddit
so even though this has comments only visible to other people with the browser EXT it's somehow still the wrongest of think. The only recourse is to bitch about this thing you can't see anyways as much as possible. Why am I not surprised.
Yea, this seems like the kind of thing that could take off if it was backed by a site that wasn't shit
We have built something like this that isn't full of MDEfugees like Gab (built by and for /r/drama radical centrists). https://www.remarkenable.com/install
We already have this for YouTube with the alientube extension. It's a well done concept, any YouTube video you go to, it searches for that link on Reddit and puts the Reddit comments below the video.
I guess it's far right in the same way voat is far right. All the people who get banned from the mainstream platforms, mostly far right, move to these alternatives that make no censorship a selling point.
Another popular use is to comment on YouTube videos where comments have been disabled.
YouTube last week purged the site of tens of millions of comments after it was revealed that they were being used to direct users to potentially sexual videos of children, allowing them to participate in a âsoft-core pedophile ring.â

Wait, so who gives a shit then?
1 gemininature 2019-02-27
Vice, apparently. All they're doing is giving it publicity so it's kind of counter-productive of them to do an article about it

Losers
1 falwin 2019-02-27
To be fair though, if more people used it then it wouldn't be an echo chamber, it's a natural echo chamber because everyone is repulsed by gab users, not a manufactured one like you see on reddit
1 Metatron58 2019-02-27
so even though this has comments only visible to other people with the browser EXT it's somehow still the wrongest of think. The only recourse is to bitch about this thing you can't see anyways as much as possible. Why am I not surprised.
1 ineedmorealts 2019-02-27
TL:DR the extension adds it's own special comment section
1 dramasexual 2019-02-27
I actually love this idea but it's ruined by ensuring the only comments I'd ever see would be from the kind of people who post on gab.

a 4chan thread that won't die
1 dramasexual 2019-02-27
if it was actually 4chan I'd be about it but gab-type nikkas take themselves WAY too serious
1 ineedmorealts 2019-02-27
Yea, this seems like the kind of thing that could take off if it was backed by a site that wasn't shit

But alas I use firefox. Also lol closed-sourcecel
1 remarkENable 2019-02-27
But we're on Reddit, which is also not open sourced.... thanks for the feedback, we have Firefox version in the works.
1 remarkENable 2019-02-27
This works w/ Firefox! https://www.remarkenable.com/https://old.reddit.com/r/Drama/comments/ave6nz/journos_seething_over_browser_extension_that_lets/?st=jybyb7yk&sh=ae16fc43
1 remarkENable 2019-02-27
We have built something like this that isn't full of MDEfugees like Gab (built by and for /r/drama radical centrists). https://www.remarkenable.com/install
1 dramasexual 2019-02-27
I don't think I trust any program written by people on /r/drama enough to install it on my computer tbqhwufamiglia

This should just be tied into Reddit.
We already have this for YouTube with the alientube extension. It's a well done concept, any YouTube video you go to, it searches for that link on Reddit and puts the Reddit comments below the video.

Alternate headline: New app lets neo-nazis talk to other neo-nazis while continuing to pretend that anybody else cares
1 BeiberFan123 2019-02-27
Donât know anything about Gab, but what makes it far right?
Is it just an alternative to something thatâs accepting people banned from other sites?
1 falwin 2019-02-27
I guess it's far right in the same way voat is far right. All the people who get banned from the mainstream platforms, mostly far right, move to these alternatives that make no censorship a selling point.
1 BeiberFan123 2019-02-27
Ok that makes more sense than having owners just being actual Nazis.
1 wulf-focker 2019-02-27
sweet sweet free advertising for gab
1 Vurtizontal 2019-02-27
That's a pretty neat idea actually.
1 BigDaddy_Delta 2019-02-27
Awesome, Iâm getting it
1 mohkohnsepicgun 2019-02-27
Holy non-sequiter, Batman.
1 KingNothing305 2019-02-27
Gab is still a thing?
1 ardasyenden 2019-02-27
this extension is actually god tier
1 Assault_Rabbit 2019-02-27
The dissent on drama is about what you would expect.
1 JustStopDude 2019-02-27
Lol... Vice is journalism now?
Gab is somehow shitier than Twitter.
The internet is a failed experiment.
1 Tyestor 2019-02-27
this is pretty cool
1 Boltfacekilla 2019-02-27
This is basically an advertisement for Gab. No way it isn't a paid article or that Gab is owned by someone that is a part owner in vice
