UK ISPs block around 1500+ domains through High Court orders and police make 12k+ arrests a year for online speech. You don’t need a formal firewall when the effect is the same in practice.
I'm sure people are so confused by someone using the long established English dictionary definition of racism and not the new far left interpretation of the word that now includes social power structures that conveniently allows non-whites to be racist without being called out.

So at first you're sympathising with discriminating against those that you see as suffering less and then your big idea is treating people equally and that's a 'hard sell'. That is like being a basic good fucking human, it's not a novel idea.

I actually thought it was a well made parody site, funner zooming/mmhmm, the bs marketing speak. On further inspection it actually looks like it could be useful in presenting slides, like a corporate obs or something.

Poaching has a much broader meaning than the one you describe. It's simply taking someone's property without permission. With modern employment contracts (non-competes/no outside work/drug tests...) I believe the comparison to property is quite apt.

You can use a CDN and fallback to local if it goes down.

Unattractive guy dared to look at me or ask me out, what a creeper. Onto the shit list he goes.
Knowing how many read a comment would help with comment assessment but how do you get that information. I suppose we could track scroll positions, I'm not sure how reliable it would be.

It'd be cool if websites could use eye tracking, then we could easily tell what got read. Maybe in the future.

Data mining has been mentioned before on Reddit. Admins aren't keen.

Well it would be considered exceptional as women rarely ever lead in number of start-ups in any field.

The fact that YOU want to discriminate based on skin color today means you are the only racist. Multiple races have faced systematic oppression eg. Chinese/Japanese/Jewish and are now some of the most successful in society. They didn't need affirmative action to get there.

This wasn't some exotic exploit either. Public, numbered (1,2,3...) accounts, all of them editable - it's almost funny. Can you imagine what other security problems exist in the code.

If this guy was white and calling everyone "dumbblack------" no one would be upvoting this.
