MODERATORS
As a web developer who's worked in the industry for 16 years, every snowflake requiring me to work harder to support their "choices" is just an annoyance. I get wanting to reduce tracking etc, but in all honesty, the 0.0X% of users running tons of blockers and JS off are in reality just easier to track, in comparison to hiding in the mass of regular users who might be running an ad blocker (or nothing).
As long as your browser is making requests, you'll never be invisible.
The change needs to come from regulation level imho.
Couldn't agree more.
It's great you can do it and you're free to, but not using javascript often means revamping the whole codebase and making everything 5x more complicated.
Which just won't happen to make 6 users happy
Amen. We do provide text versions though, but a few JS-blocking users have complained about having a barebones experience.
Well no shit, have they ever wondered why the language was created in the first place?
It's a god damn funny though.
