Comment on Mozilla is shutting down their Mastodon instance.
Clbull@lemmy.world 1 day agoGab tried to pull the same thing with their Dissenter plugin. It was such a bad idea that Mozilla and Google banded together to remove the extensions from their stores for ToS violations.
Now imagine what a nightmare it would be to moderate the ability to comment on anything online with actual standards and decency.

Why was it a bad idea? Seems like a wonderful idea. Minus Gab.
Some kind of web of trust and inheriting ignored users based on it and weights - and it will work.

Sounds to me like an extension that by design tracks every Web page you visit.

Not necessarily and only those you comment.
That’s the point, to comment any webpage. It’s clear you visited it if you comment it.

Presumably it loads comments when you visit a page. That would send a request with the URL to whatever service they’re running.
