Every big web site in 2024 looks like the sites people warned you not to visit in the 90s

“Yo ho, fiddle-dee dee, a [REDACTED_DUE_TO_LEMMY.WORLD_POLICY]'s life for me!”

but also

“Having fun isn’t hard if you have a library card!”

I’ve been checking out so many good shows and movies from my local public library

Jfc even with uBlock Origin, that site is unusable. It won’t let me scroll, pinch to zoom, or do anything. Even archiving the page results in the popover. One of the worst offenders I’ve ever seen.

For anyone who has this same problem: Firefox’s reader mode works, and you can even pinch to zoom if you have impaired vision like I do. I’d like to support sites that support queer culture, but in this case I’m utterly disgusted by the site’s data harvesting and ableist design.

r/fatpeoplehate

They were so toxic that the site got noticeably better within 24 hours of them being banned.

They all migrated to Voat. Later, people from r/The_Donald also tried to join voat, but the fat hate people were too toxic even for them!

Yeah, they were awful, awful people.

I hope so too. Since it’s the weekend, I’d try emailing whoever is in charge right now for your own peace of mind. I’m almost 100% sure they’ll take them down, no questions asked.

I used to teach high school and have an advanced administrative degree. I highly doubt any school staff would think less of you for this, unless they’re exceptionally shitty people. I hosted some activities where pictures were taken, and if a student had returned later and requested one or more of them be taken down, I would have complied with no questions asked, even if consent had previously been granted by the student/their guardians.

While it’s true that there are some awful teachers and administrators, the vast majority wouldn’t have a problem granting a simple request like this.
