Ban evasion is used by malicious actors to spread trouble to moderators, but when do you think ban evasion can be moral and justified, and when is it immoral?

We know that these platforms have incredibly powerful ban evasion filters that filter on browser fingerprinting, OS fingerprinting, machine learning, etc. The question is, which of them is the most powerful at detecting ban evaders?

Are there any browsers similar to LibreWolf for mobile and Android?

    Do you mean this? I don't want any Tor-related stuff, and this says something about Tor, so that's something I'd avoid.

    Edit: Someone said that it does in fact not use Tor, so I am safe from landing on those websites, but do you think Mull can handle fingerprinting blocking better than Brave?

  • I use LibreWolf mainly because it handles fingerprinting and tracking blocking well and is open source. I also do not want Tor-related stuff because I don't want to risk going to illegal websites. So do you know any LibreWolf alternatives for mobile and Android that handle fingerprinting and tracking blocking well, automatically delete cookies and are open source?

    YTA for setting the community language settings to disallow specifying English as an option though

    Can you explain what you mean with this? I don't understand it.

    This is a backup in case the post gets deleted by creator or removed by mod:

    Hello, this community exists because !amitheasshole@lemmy.ml is deleted by creator, thus effectively abandoned by the creator. My problem is that there is already one in lemmy.world called !aita@lemmy.world. So AITA for keeping this community open, while the subscribers are wondering why there isn’t any activity here?

    I know, but the admins of lemmy.ml also control the whole Lemmy software, so these rumors will damage the entirety of Lemmy, and I don't want it to be ruined by malicious rumors.

    Hello, these rumors are getting out of hand. To make matters worse, they are rejecting Lemmy (the software) because of the rumors about the developers. You really need to do something about this, because the reputation of Lemmy (the software) is in serious danger. Thank you for listening to my concern about malicious rumors.

    We all know their true colors. They have the aggression of your typical Reddit mods^TM^, who are power-tripping and permabanning users on steroids. Mods are users on steroids, so admins are on steroids' steroids. Admins are the niceguy^TM^ version of Reddit mods^TM^. Enough fooling around; you see how abusive someone in power can be? Don't even be fooled by their kind attitude. They won't hesitate to show you their true colors.

    Why is it harder to evade a subreddit ban than a sitewide suspension?

    But I don't get it. If Reddit admins implemented new ban evasion filters, then how can we still circumvent sitewide suspensions while subreddit bans are impossible to evade? I hope that it stays that way.

    Why is it harder to evade a subreddit ban than a sitewide suspension?

    **I am not advocating for ban evasion.** Reddit has implemented a powerful ban evasion filter that catches ban evaders who use alternate accounts to post on a subreddit they were banned from. Though, the same cannot be said for sitewide suspensions. While simply using a fingerprinting-blocking browser that deletes cookies every time you close the browser, you can circumvent a sitewide suspension, but evading a subreddit ban seems impossible. So why does Reddit prevent circumventing a subreddit ban while they are okay with sitewide suspension evasions? Don't get me wrong, I respect Reddit for not being too punishing to its users, but it still feels weird that they gave moderators so much power while administrators don't use it at all. Mind explaining their choices? **Again, I am not advocating for ban evasion, and please do not circumvent a ban.**

    Funny idea for people who want to edit their comments in protest

    The idea was to fake Reddit removals so the users would think Reddit admins censor information. Remember, you cannot see whether a comment is removed by Reddit or faked by a user. Only posts show that on new.reddit.com, though reveddit.com can indicate whether a comment was removed by Reddit or not.

    Funny idea for people who want to edit their comments in protest

    Remember the people who edited their comments where it said that they were editing their comments to protest? Then they deleted their accounts. What if you people who mass-edited your comments edited it instead with `[ Removed by Reddit ]`? Like, you edit all of your comments (not posts) with `[ Removed by Reddit ]`, so if people see your comment that has lots of upvotes replaced by `[ Removed by Reddit ]`, then they will think Reddit is censoring information. This is kind of accurate because Reddit is known for removing random information and punishing people for ridiculous reasons. This feels like an effective way to protest. So what is your opinion about this idea?

    I like the current design, but the way the lines are too close to each other confuses me, so how can I get the design above me, where a line stops when a new child reply is dropped?

    Personally, I prefer Lemmy over Kbin because I hate karma and reputation points. I do not want to worry about downvotes, and Lemmy feels so fresh. I can post things that will receive lots of downvotes and not need to worry about losing karma.

    The URL looks currently like this: ``` https://lemmy.ml/?dataType=Post&listingType=Local&page=1&sort=Active ``` But `&sort=Active` is at the end, while `&page=1` is right before. This is bad design, because `&page=1` is the one that changes every time when scrolling and pressing, so put `&page=1` at the end of the URL please: ``` https://lemmy.ml/?dataType=Post&listingType=Local&sort=Active&page=1 ``` See? It looks so much better.

    When I rotate my screen sideways, the `Cancel` button is near `Reply` button, but when rotating my phone back to original, the `Cancel` button is under `Select language`, which is annoying, so can you fix that?

    The new UI with the parent-child replies is so confusing. It used to be more clear when the child lines stopped when a new child reply dropped. The reply lines are now a mess. Please do something about this.
