Hey, how can I get Discourse to do X?

[Woolen_Horde]

Is it just me, or did iOS 14 break mobile view on Discourse?

[stusser]

It’s just you, I use it all the time.

[Woolen_Horde]

I’m not sure how this is happening

It’s like a blend of mobile and desktop

[Falco]

Check the hamburguer menu, there will be a “mobile view” option.

Did you see my post above about the ignore bug?

[Woolen_Horde]

I found the issue. For some reason in the Safari settings, Qt3 was set to 50% zoom.

[Diddums]

Why is it so hard for ignore to stick, especially on mobile?

This may be a byproduct of wumpus’s desire to have no ignore, period, but it is nigh-on impossible to ignore a poster forever, no matter how many times you apply that setting.

Discourse’s ultimate design failing (or feature) is that it has all these systems but basically just shrugs and says “moderation”. Fundamentally Discourse’s philosophy is not systems driven but moderation driven, which is an odd duck in modern times, since moderation ultimately fails on every possible platform, every time.

So i think ignore is verbotten because Discourse’s philosophy assumes that someone whom everyone ignores should have been taken care of by moderation, not by a per user level - and that for some reason individual instances of particular Ignores are somehow less valid and reflect badly on the ignorer rather than the ignoree. There’s a lot of assumptions about what the ideal “discourse” is around such users on a software level. Unless it’s a roundabout way to force moderators to “do their job” or whatever.

But you know exactly how many people clicked on that link you posted! Priorities, man!

(Not to mention all sorts of irrelevant shit under the first post in the thread that I Tampermonkey’d the fsck out of my way.)

[Balasarius]

Can we fix embedded tweets to show local time instead of UTC or whatever the hell that is?

@Diddums

You mean that this doesn’t work?

[stusser]

Wow, you added that? I am honestly shocked. Wumpus saw it as an ideological issue. Good stuff.

[Falco]

I even posted here about it on this topic back in June:

@Falco

You can ignore forever in the latest version.

[stusser]

Hah, yes, and I updated so we’d get it. 2020, man. It’s all a blur.

[RichVR]

But we won’t know if it actually works. Forever hasn’t happened yet.

[stusser]

Hasn’t it, Rich? Hasn’t it?

[RichVR]

Did I miss it? Damn!

[stusser]

I remember tomorrow. It feels like yesterday.

The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose in the Mountains of Mist, and QT3 finally allowed someone to be permashunned.

[stusser]

NERD!
