College Board says it won’t alter AP courses to comply with Florida’s laws

Reply in thread

Unfortunately they don’t care if they can actually enforce it. They’ve done what they wanted in sending the message to their base and they get to funnel taxpayer dollars to their lawyer buddies defending it in court so it’s still a win to them.

Meanwhile the rest of us become worn out trying to fight back against the onslaught of legislation based in bigotry and hatred and wind up getting worn down or moving out of state. It’s all a net benefit for an authoritarian fascist regime. It doesn’t matter if the laws actually stand. They’ve accomplished their goal.

Updated: Reddit is quietly restoring deleted AND overwritten posts and comments

Reply in thread

Same here. I’m a 12 year account on Reddit and I had been in the habit of deleting my history regularly due to an ex that likes to stalk my posts. Everything recent that I deleted this week is back but the stuff I deleted prior to that is still gone.

I just went back and edited it all again to state it’s been removed in protest in favor of moving to the fediverse.

Suggestion: Thread Entanglement, or automatic merging of duplicate threads

Reply in thread

Oh please don’t. I really don’t want threads from communities I’m not explicitly choosing to follow merged. Again, I’m here instead of Reddit because I want more control over what I do and do not see.

Features like this or the “discovery” feed showing recommended posts are the opposite of the experience I want.

If I didn’t explicitly seek out the community and subscribe to it, I don’t want to see it. I don’t care if there are multiple posts on the same article or topic - I’ll find the community I want to subscribe to and if I’m that interested in the topic I’ll go search for it myself.

If you feel like you must address this the “see other discussions” approach feels the least intrusive.
