Is it "widely used"? An aim bot directly affects everybody else, actively making the game worse. This only affects a small number of people who choose to opt-in and trust the labeller's opinion. I can't even find that labeller and I learnt about it from you. And again, it's not BSky that offers the labeller - that IS an important distinction.

I do think it matters a lot whether it's a thing the app offers natively to everybody or something certain users have implemented on their own and that other users can choose to use or not. You don't blame the contents of a mod on the game itself, do you?

"They" don't have that. Most labellers are user made and people can subscribe to them or not.

I was interested until I learnt that the story is going to involve young Adam crashing on Earth and spending the next 20 years there. Don't. For fuck's sake.

They need to be very careful though about not ruining the goodwill they now have thanks to Agatha and Rio's relationship.

Feeds are aggregators that show you posts that fulfill certain criteria, such as mentioning keywords (which can include but is not limited to hashtags). They're a lot more versatile than just hashtags. I can't tell you why they chose the # symbol to represent feeds ┐⁠(⁠ ⁠∵⁠ ⁠)⁠┌

On your profile you have a following count, that's where you'll find a list of people you follow.

I'm just here to tell you that this is a very US centric view. I'm not from the US and, outside of random internet posts, there are no records of any of my political associations, past or present, and I've voted in all local and national elections for >20 years. Seeing as extremist forces are unfortunately currently gaining power over here, I REALLY wouldn't want any type of public record even hinting at who exactly I've been voting for.

Fucking hell it's true. This is exactly the kind of obscure nonsense I love, how did it take me 30 years to learn this?

The key concept you want to look into is feeds. They're as, if not more important than hashtags. There's a feed called Following which is all posts from people you subscribe to.

It might deter other people from bad actions.

The thing is, other shitty people care. They see how we treat dead shitty people and, because humans are irrational, see it as a reward for their behaviour in life. That's also why I'm against the notion of not speaking ill of the dead - no, people need to realise that they won't be respected when they're dead if they were shitty.

I know it doesn't matter, rationally. But humans are weird and care about what people will think when they're gone.
