You can mute territories now either by visiting the territory or in the overflow ... for an item belonging to that territory.


Territory founders can enable moderation in their territories:

  • their territory gets a moderated badge
    • the badge includes a count of how many items they've outlawed
    • territory founders can turn moderation on and off, but the badge does not go away if they've ever outlawed an item
  • in the item overflow ... they can outlaw items with a click
  • anything outlawed by founders is still visible in Wild West Mode
  • anyone posting or commenting in the territory sees some help text letting them know it's moderated

In general moderation is a sledgehammer and we plan to introduce more economic tools to avoid needing to use it, but some people will want it anyway and we haven't made those economic tools yet.


We think we might've finally fixed PWA push notifications on iOS but tbd. 🀞

All about the iOS PWA notification fixes lol I enjoy following the discussion on the GitHub bug

Unfortunately, it is still not fixed lol

Do you have an iOS device to test with yet? I know for a while you didn’t.

reply

Not yet, @k00b and me are currently discussing exactly this in Slack, lol

Quote from me:

I can't believe Apple is making me buy an Apple device so I can debug their shit lol

I'll get try to get my hands on a used 6s next week

Oh, this is big! Maybe some old friends will return.

Let's hope

Wonder he still would’ve left if territories initially shipped with a mute/ subscribe feature

reply

I’m under the impression he left for other reasons. Surely he understood everything is a work in progress here. He’s been here since the beginning.

maybe something happened and really fast, this was from the same day - Dec13

That's why I stop working any job and I dedicate my time to Bitcoin and SN...

Wouldn't it be nice if Apple didn't intentionally kneecap their browser's own functionality to prop up their centralized bullshit, while also limiting even further what other WebKit-based browsers can use through the few API's Apple allocates overall?

It says a lot when even Orion is kneecapped, considering it's the Safari made by technically competent and user-respecting developers.

I don’t think we’re quite there yet XD

reply

No, we are definitely not haha

reply

Yeah these counts have been wack lately

reply

yay!

could we have batch mute? Or how about the default mode is opt-out, then need to choose which one to join, but then how can we even get to know there are new territories in the first place haha... tricky indeed.

reply

Let's see how this goes first. There are a variety of tradeoffs to any approach.

If territories were opt-in only, then we'd have to default people to some set of territories (which would biased as hell) or have none selected to start in which case you'd have an empty experience like on twitter.

While this might not be a forever approach, it is congruent with muting and unmuting stackers which is very nice I think.

reply
but then how can we even get to know there are new territories in the first place haha... tricky indeed.

Maybe this could indeed be a bot that posts into ~meta when a new territory was detected

reply

It could be, but we need territory discovery features in general.

reply

Yes. We'll need a map :) thank you for the mute territory feature so far!

reply

Yep, it's just a bandaid. Maybe someone will read this and feel inspired though lol

reply

good, or @saloon at the same time 🧐

now need to do some manual mutes.

Excellent. This is a good feature to improve user experience.

reply

Mute is great but potentially superior thing here would be the ability to select or deselect (like subscribe or filter) the territories you want to see on your feed in the territory dropdown menu.

I see way too many subs I'm personally not interested, this would be a great improvement

loving it, back to basics [...]

this is a new territory though

reply

Haha, this is like most of human psychology in a single comment.

reply

I call it the Stack Overflow Effect:

Post something which has a slight error in it and a lot of people will correct you and in turn give you the right solution so they can feel superior.

Post something asking for help and no one will care to help you or give you the solution.

lol :)

Maybe there should be a mute all feature and then you can just enable the ones you want. Would make it easier, especially as territories grow.
