It could be a long tap on the space to the right of the comment timestamp.

There should definitely be a way to select the text of a comment.

Option to make comment icon do same as comment number would be great.

Option to make both the comment icon and number on a post open the comments would be great. I basically never want to comment directly on a post without first opening it and I'm constantly fat fingering the icon when I want the number.

In general, yes. If you're getting harassed and threatened and you want that to change, you should fight and deal with it. Nobody ever won anything by simply rolling over for anyone who was mean to them. Worse than that, society probably won't support you if you do, even if they should.

It's up to the individual how strongly they want to fight for it, of course, but I certainly wouldn't discourage them from doing so.

Their first mistake was being an American.

Your advice is applicable to your own original comment, so it seems you do agree with what I said, at least to some degree.

Anyway, in the interests of constructive discussion, let me ask you specifically. Do you think this WEI proposal is good for and why? Does the proposal mention at all what the downsides of this feature might be, or how it could be abused? Is it proposed in such a way that the dominant implementors can't deviate later from the terms suggested in the proposal?

Seeing as you're having such trouble with people's reactions to this, maybe you should be the one in this thread to point out the specific reasons why individuals should be in favour of this.

Can you just run a cronjob to delete files in that directory every day?

(Maybe there's a reason you can't do this, I don't know how Lemmy instance works)

You're looking at it from the perspective of somebody who disagrees with Twitter as a company and a product.

I just hate their shitty UI.

FYI, whitewashing makes perfect sense to use there:

to deliberately attempt to conceal unpleasant or incriminating facts about (someone or something).

It has nothing to do with race in this context.

As an American, surely you should be much more concerned about what the US government can do with your information than what the Chinese government can do with your information.

Is it an option I have to turn on? "Always trust domains" seemed like it could be it, but toggling doesn't seem to make a difference for me.
