Admittedly even though I’ve been listening to chapo since 2018-ish I only became “officially part of the community”, as in i started following the podcast every week and joined the subreddit, a few months ago when i became very politically invested upon seeing how bad the government dealt with the pandemic. as a result i’m not too familiarized with a lot of the inside jokes one of them being this collective annoyance at Amber. I’ve heard some rumours about her criticizing the subreddit and telling us all to “get a life” or something along those lines, but apart from that I don’t really know much about her outside of the chapo realm. Care to elucidate me?
Also a known thing. I find there’s two cases in which it happens:
-
It takes you to just slightly below the comment, and the topbar/navbar covers it. The topbar was added after the comment link function. In this case, just scroll up a wee bit
-
The comment it far enough down the page that it doesn’t load in with the first set of comments that load when you load a page. Then it just leaves you at the very top of the post. In this case, I tend to scroll alllll the way down, until all the comments have loaded, and then looking for the linked comment (it’s usually grey)
As for the filter and the word sl*t, that’s pretty much the main change being made to the word list, seeing as it’s mostly a reclaimed slur.
The slur filter is still super important tho. You probably haven’t seen the chud shit that’s shown up here already, and we’re such a small site, but it definitely exists. Maybe the devs will get rid of the slur filter altogether someday, but as someone who doesn’t have many dimensions to my identity with slurs custom-made for, I don’t feel like it’s hugely my place to decide that. But there is a broader convo happening for sure. There’s prolly posts in !feedback about that one.
Sorry I can’t keep replying on here, this shit is broken. Direct link to comments does not work.
Good luck, I’ll keep checking in daily to see if it gets better
Couldn’t even read your full reply without it resorting four times
