I literally just bought a board book made by Girls Who Code for my 3 month old. Gotta get them hooked early

Sure, but do you like ads that masquerade as posts? Because if you do then you'll love the delicious taste of Diet Coke, grab one today! (16900 upvotes)

This is a lot of work if you're just trying to browse the site. Instead of spending hours blocking instances after first checking whether an instance is mostly bots (and safe to block) or if it's just a single group of bots in an otherwise fine instance in which case you block the users, a general list like OP suggested would be more useful.

Never heard of them. What did the acronym stand for?

I think it has less to do with their ideology and more to do with the fact that an instance with almost no rules usually attracts shitty people

The feed desperately needed a fix, so I'm glad they pushed it out. But agreed, they should be prioritizing methods to reduce spam and bots in the next release, even if they need to push out a relatively feature-sparse version first

I remember loving MGS4 when I played it on my friends PS3 in college, but I've never owned the system myself. Really looking forward to replaying it after... 15 years holy crap

By forcing them to moderate their own subs, they would have to (ideally) pay their own employees to do so. Not only would this be expensive, but it would hurt them in the eyes of investors right before they go public.

Tokens are usually never multiple words. Think of them like "information units". If you have a plural word "hats", there are two tokens: the "hat" one and the "s' that adds more information about it being plural. Combinations of words only really occur for proper names.
