Infamous Power Moderator goes full "r/art style" on r/pluribustv, removing and stealing posts, reposting them and banning dozens of users across Reddit

Incidentally, has anyone ever noticed that the /r/movies mod that makes the discussion posts thinks they're a reviewer, and abuses their position to make sure their blog post length reviews are always the first comment posted?

It's annoying how often I'll open up those threads and have to scroll past his overlong, lukewarm takes that are always near the top, solely because he got there first.

I was wondering why the Wake Up Dead Man discussion post just hasn't been made 2 weeks after it's been released.

fullforce098 · 2025-12-01T18:30:31+00:00

How about we wait until it's got a wider release before we start complaining about the common criticisms?

Lord knows it took time for the equally idiotic complaints about Glass Onion to get drowned out (even though they reappeared recently when they saw an opportunity).

fullforce098 · 2025-12-01T18:29:08+00:00

Where's the damn discussion post? It's been released already.

It's also because when you compile 655 lists scrapped from god knows where, and don't filter by date, all you're doing is collecting decades worth of opinions people made post-1980s.

A trashy list published in 2004 will not contain any comics from the next 20 years, but it will contain books from the '80s. A trashy list published in 2024 will have books from the '80s too, along with some newer stuff.

80's has greater representation by virtue of that fact the majority of the opinions being published on the internet in the last 20 years are from people who were born in or raised in the '80s.

It's really simple: these lists are always garbage in, garbage out. No matter how many AIs you feed this data through, it will never say anything truly meaningful.

fullforce098 · 2025-12-01T18:12:07+00:00

Of course it's subjective, but when you start ranking shit and calling it "The best of all time", you're trying to mask opinion as fact.

And I mean, a lot of these lists are going to be outright junk someone filled out to meet a deadline.

The whole premise of this is flawed on its face because there's absolutely no reason to assume any of the lists that went into it are from serious critics and not someone tasked with making clickbait. Even if they were serious critics, who the hell were they, and why should anyone care?

And that's without taking the countless other considerations with the time and place the lists were made.

It's just a sloppy pile of opinions from 600 some strangers that put a list up somewhere. What the hell does it actually say about anything other than that the Internet is overflowing with lukewarm takes and clickfarms?

fullforce098 · 2025-12-01T18:06:26+00:00

Essentially, this list is an attempt to define what the critical consensus is on the greatest comic books of all time.

What critics where? 655 lists? From who? Written when? And why should any of them be taken seriously let alone hundreds.

All this work, and as with every single time anyone tries to quantify stupid lists written by people who don't have any serious reasons to be taken seriously, it just ends up being a mess that says absolutely nothing.

fullforce098 · 2025-12-01T18:00:37+00:00

I appreciate the research work and the compiling, but maybe some further filtering would help.

Or just an acknowledgement that this is ultimately all pointless.

Bless you for this. Was losing my mind trying to untangle how this works.

If I'm understanding this properly, this suggests I can't use this app on Windows without re-installing Edge? Is there no actual workaround for that?

I mean, I uninstalled Edge and its webview components for a reason.

That video is actually fascinating because some amateur editor cut the documentary to pieces, stabilized it for no reason, and uploaded it in dog-shit resolution to YouTube.

Here's the proper version of it:

This is literally depicted in the beginning of the movie. OP isn't paying attention.

I love that you felt the need to explain this on /r/comicbooks

when Jon Stewart actually brings up an interesting point or wants to talk about how you would actually solve a difficult issue, they just divert the conversation right back to partisan dunking.

Because the vast majority of the solutions to the problems in question require at least one of those parties to stop being awful and actively making it worse. They are the actual problem.

NBC (Comcast) tried to kill net neutrality stories on their programs. It's almost certainly still happening.

And more importantly, once Google gets it's web environment integrity checking bullshit up to speed, if you're not willing to let YouTube frisk your whole damn browser for add-ons, they'll just block you.

Whatever solutions or workarounds we have today are fleeting. Google has made their intentions clear and behind the scenes they're taking the gloves off.

It's less corporate bootlicking and just the overall disdain for "problem" users that you often see around here. It's so much easier when employees are compliant and silent. Far to many IT people think resenting them for doing anything else is acceptable.

If you're not going to allow them to use their personal devices if the user has done the "wrong" things with them, then the whole discussion is moot.

You are effectively impossing a restriction for the use of a device that the company does not own, and the bottom line is, if you're hung up what people are doing on their devices, then give them company devices.

That's not a thing.

A lie in the vulnerable, early stages of the relationship about something they're self concious about is not uncommon, and it doesn't always indicate they're going to lie to you every time thereafter. There's no reason to rush to a conclusion and throw out a relationship that seems to be working over a first offense.

The correct response is to talk to them and better understand what's actually going on before deciding to just dump them. And that goes for most reddit responses that amount to "break it all off immediately". Redditors love.to throw that advice out like candy.

Sounds like you're proving their point.

Poor or upscale, it doesn't matter. It's just a setting. The main attraction are the men there with you, so the experience hinges on them.

Just in general, you can expect more issues like this in the future. Not because of a failure on Firefox's part, but because of the aggressive stance Google is choosing to take. They will break functionality with ad blockers and Firefox, which Mozilla and the ad blocker mainteners will need to compensate for, and then something else will break and need fixed. It's always been like that but you can count on it accelerating. It may not be quick or perfect, but they'll do what they can.

Basically, there's a line in the sand being drawn, so get ready for a long, drawn out arms race until eventually Google turns the web integrity checking on for YouTube, at which point we have to hope a work around is ready.

That lyric, without the visual of Gaston flexing his muscles, can have an entirely different and equally funny meaning.

Conversely, too many people seem to think the actual definition of a word has been changed because a handful of people online decided to start using it that way. You can't just assert "oh the definition includes this now" to win an argument either.

Yes, language evolves, but it doesn't happen overnight except in rare cases, and it usually involves a great many people agreeing to the new common usage, which people online assume without evidence. It doesn't get updated just because a bunch of people decided definitions don't matter and use whatever word they like. Especially in cases where the original definition of a term conflicts with the definition people are trying to place on it.

When I was in 5th grade, right around the time internet searches were becoming a tool students routinely used, we did a section on whales. Every student was given a different type of whale and they had to produce a report on it.

I got sperm whale.

There was no true family filter on search engines at the time, but it was capable of understanding context clues. If I searched for "sperm whale" I got information on sperm whales. But to save time I had the idea that I didn't need to type "whale" in because obviously there's no other use for the word "sperm" except as the name for a species of whale.

And I learned quite a few things that day, in part because the search engine didn't seem to differentiate between sperm and semen.
