There’s going to be a part three? Good. I hope it gets rid of the comment cooldown. Gets annoying real first when you have to wait 30 seconds between each of six 5 second replies.

When’s part 3 starting?

@TwilightShitlord  
I learned a long time ago the world will only get worse. We can try to escape but at some point we will be forced to surrender. We can’t escape forever. All our solutions will eventually fall.

@manerg  
As long as it’s possible to escape it, those who truly want to will. I gave up thinking the world is going to get better, so I don’t care about the normies.
 
Flying under the radar is the future.

@TwilightShitlord  
We do, but it’s not going to happen, at least not in the mainstream. People value convenience over all else so they sacrifice any freedoms they once had to use centralized shit. These days it seems like every website is under Cloudflare MITM (every fucking booru is except this one), so Cloudflare could easily block a certain user from accessing the entire internet. Tor and I2P are suitable for now but won’t be once the governments and big corporations put an end to them. They’ve already succeeded in scaring the majority of people into thinking that Tor is evil. Federation isn’t going to work because all the instances suffer from lack of use. Shit like Invidious and Searx don’t free you from Google they just desperately try to patch up any privacy issues but it doesn’t circumvent censorship. Youtube-dl? That became more popular after the RIAA tried to take it down a few months ago. XMPP is good for messaging but that won’t protect you unless you’re using OMEMO. E-mail? A federated platform that turned into centralized shit because everyone used G-Mail. Decentralization is going to die. Normal people are lemmings. We are the refugees.

@manerg  
We need decentralization.

@TwilightShitlord  
And to think that sites like Reddit and YouTube used to be good until they were turned into shit. Or actually, were they even good to begin with? It’s only a matter of time before even Tor and I2P either turn into shit or disappear. When that happens, you might as well just stop using the internet, but by then even that won’t be an option because everything will be online only. We’re pretty much fucked and there isn’t anything we can do about it.

@manerg  
Everything eventually turns to shit or disappears. How long it takes is the question.

Everything is center-aligned now when logged out and site uses hCaptcha now what the actual fuck (at least it’s not ReCaptcha). I’m guessing this is a philomena issue.

I haven’t been on Derpibooru since I got banned but I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve done more shit which could be these updates you’re talking about. I’ve already listed shit about derpibooru (read here) so I won’t go over that again. I won’t be surprised if this site turns into shit and becomes Derpibooru-lite. Maybe it wont (although most websites which were once good do turn into shit), but it depends on what your “personal things” are.

@ZizzyDizzyMC  
It’s mostly just “anthro” vs “pony”

Hey I’m just rolling up updates, we don’t actually have to use the body type stuff, I don’t think. Pretty sure we don’t.  
Not even for sure wtf it is.
 
Also there will be more updates either tonight or tomorrow night to get the site all the way up to current before I can work on our personal things.
 
Edit: Also, I can make the default left align if you guys really insist. It’s such a small change it doesn’t really matter to me. After a full roll-up of updates I’ll make a strawpoll and a thread for that since I know the change mostly affects anons rather than logged in users. And I need a poll that doesn’t require logging in for proper results.
 
The new color tag is legitimately useless for our purpose so don’t worry about it. It’s just a color, apparently.

@Havoc  
This. They were completely separate species for years, suddenly deciding they are merely “body types” instead is furfag bullshit that should go and stay go.

@Color Anon  
I agree, but there’s always the future. I can see this site only growing over the next coming months.

@Sapphie  
I mean, from what I’ve seen about the users here so far they don’t look like the kind of people who abused the donvoting option to still downvote stuff they filtered or hid.  
On derpi, I remember groups of people who mass downvoted stuff they also wanted to hide or filter out of spite.

@Havoc  
This, that’s useless as fuck imo.  
Also I have never liked the centered thing either, it’s a bit annoying to me.

@evan555alpha  
i never understood most of the changes they do to the site layout, i only use the site on mobile but i heard complaining about the time they forced users to see stuff like rankings and top images on the main page on PCs for no reason at all  
i mean i dont care what piece of generic vanilla porn or generic cute or well done safe mane 6 art is top ranking this week, i care when you force me to see it

@Havoc  
We don’t get the option for that yet. I’d very much be fond of colouring IPs though.

@Sapphie  
I hope we don’t. Color some more useful tags like IPs, fetishes, or art median.  
I really hate that they colored such useless tags.

@Havoc  
We have the option now, but it’ll depend on if we change the colour of the tags. I don’t particularly care one way or another.

Happy to see that we don’t have the stupid ‘body type’ colored tags. That furry shit can gtfo.

@Color Anon  
How do you mean?

@Sapphie  
That shouldn’t be a problem in here, I guess.

Oh, looks like the gayass feature that prevents you from downvoting spoilered stuff made it through as well.

@Anonymous #D36A  
There’s a “Use centered layout” tick box on the Settings page, Display tab.

On the plus side, comments seems to be permanently editable now. Yay!
