My uBlock Origin is blocking 7 things on this page. Not that 3 more is any higher a number as far as trackers go these days.

I love uBlock. I recommend enabling the side-panel-thingy that lets you block specific things so that you can crank-up its aggressiveness.

Begone ye assorted feds and spooky corporation trackers!

I wonder which part made you realize that this was satire?

Well, if I read it naturally: point a.) is that you formatted this the same way as you format your "explain the joke" posts and b.) would have to be when you suggested changing the website slogan.

Although in fairness, I read the very first sentence and my blood pressure went up, jumped to the responses, and I saw something about a list of wrong-thinkers, and opened the .txt document. For me, that instantly signaled parody.

A list of users with atypical and extremist opinions can be found in the attachments of this post.

didn't read, but i saw this line and knew it was going to be fucking cringe , anyway this is a niche basket weaving forum not an economic asset .Forums aren't profitable and never will be , plus most us don't even want this , we want a quaint community.

Very triggering, nice work.

Yes, we must take action immediately. Quickly! Round the corners on every last bit of the UI!

3/10 idea. I had my contact over at Activision Blizzard input this into their diversity measurement tool and the results show that it does not have enough signaling of positivity, which could be detrimental in securing investment from the big firms.

The Agora-chan mascot, a kawaii anime woman, presumably white Caucasian which sets unrealistic expectations for the youth. I suggest we introduce BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ characters in place of her, I'm considering a queer black girl with gay parents; better if we make her a bit chubby because we welcome fat acceptance. Say hello to Agora-shawty:

The dislike button is also a terrible idea as it encourages hate, we should be on equal level with all other major social networking sites and only use emojis. This is a good preparation if we are aiming towards a buyout from Meta.

Why did this thread die? Site is shit and is in need of a rework. Agora Road mobile friendly UI update when?

Better yet, make the Agora Road mobile app a real thing.

I think we could have an influx of really good, helpful users if we made the site more accessible. It'd really help people make good contributions if the site were made quick and disposable.

if the Alerts worked like on Quora, and youd just clicked on arrow Next, to skim you thru your notifs...
