The best part was how they explained it by saying something like, "We're removing our comment section in order to improve the way we interact with our readers!"

As if they were doing us a favor lol

I’ve had a yahoo email for years and have to go through their site. They turned off their comments a while back for some ridiculous reason (which as a private company they can) but since every article was some far left garbage/latest in the lgbt pandering a lot of the comments were pushing back.

That's how I remember it, maybe as late as 2018 when they stopped comments.

It was during BLM protests in 2020. I distinctly remember comments criticizing how the media painted those as "totally safe" but going to church made you a covid super spreader. Good times. I miss comment sections on news articles. The real story was always in the comments.

If you're using Microsoft edge browser on pc, the loading page is random news articles.

Has choices to react to articles with 5 different emojis and comments enabled. Based on my browsing, I would say about 80% of the comment section on these articles is people with our mindset. Only some NPC work, but the replies are pretty solid from the based crowd.

Mine shows articles from all over the web. The source could be from any website that got shoved into the algorithm, but I'm unsure of who manages the actual comment sections. It does ask you to sign in with a Microsoft account, I believe. I haven't done that though.

the Dissenter browser was supposed to be the answer to this: a browser with an overlay you can post comments to that other Dissenter users can see.

What happened to it?

The gab ceo attempted to make a browser that had a built in comment section but neither of my computers allow me to download it

It does, but not too many people use, at least when I started using it, it so its not really that great. Maybe it is better now, I dont know.

Its a stand alone browser, but what it should be is an extension app usable on any browser, especially on your phone.

It was that, and it was blocked by Google (app store), Apple (app store), Firefox, Apple (Safari), and Google (Chrome).

The only way to install it was to put your browser in developer mode and load it in yourself, which most people didn't bother with, so the Gab team decided to just release an entire browser instead, which should have been easier to use than the extension.

I recall GAB(?) trying to get an app launched when this took off. The app would allow you comment on any article but within app. Anyone else with the app could see the comments. Basically took away the MSM ability to shut down comments as they were now somewhere else that they could not shut down. It never launched though, IIRC both android & apply preemptively banned it.

I was just reading an "article" about how "reverse racism isn't real" and scrolled down to look for the comments section, and lo' and behold! You are correct. Nonexistent.

Then I came here just dying to talk about how much I hate all of this. The white guilty bullshit. The victim complexes everywhere. The cucks for blacks movement. The trans rights faux revolution. The vaccines. The masks. The idea of people being "cancelled." It goes on ad nauseum and I'm so fucking sick of it.

I just started typing a huge fucking rant and deleted it instead, because you all know what I was going to say - because everyone here feels it.

Historically most mass movements have largely been people either frightened into it or going with the flow.

There's a BIG gap between doing something and posting about it. Look at the two of us for example.

There are parents going nuclear over CRT being taught in schools everywhere. There are hundreds of lawsuits against the vaccine mandates everywhere. People are fighting this shit because it’s threatening their jobs and their families.

Canada has next to no opposition as well.

Only 5% of voters are truly against COVID bullshit (the PPC popular vote) if you think the federal election on the matter was a referendum of sorts.

I just can't get over the mathematical fact that your individual vote makes no relevant difference to the democratic outcome even if politicians were trustworthy and genuine.

I understand that the collective of individual votes ultimately elects representatives, but your individual vote doesn't mean shit no matter how you slice it statistically.

The pain of doing nothing has to exceed the pain of doing something before the masses do anything. A news article isn't going to move that needle.
