So the newswire about Rebel Wilson's experiences with harassment had depressingly predictable troll responses . . . which all got nuked. Normally they've been very slow to get rid of blatant trolls if at all. But all of them are gone, and the story was up less than 24 hours on a weekend.

I stopped by TOC for shits and/or giggles and Kinja is now... differently broken? You now have the option to hide or show pending comments and sort by newest, oldest, most liked, or most replied, and it looks like comments may even nest now. I don't see the Kinjamprove! button any more from that extension, and there's still all kinds of unnecessary whitespace, but maybe at least Kinja Ernie is eating his words now.  |

What kind of device, and what browser were you using? On my PC with chrome the comments look to still have the same format as always, but the Kinjaprove button has disappeared. Worst of both worlds! |

I am also currently on a PC with Chrome and saw the same thing as Crash Test - it's a little weird, the Reload Comments makes me think it's the "more comments" from Disqus but of course nothing happens. |

It's just a newer version of Kinjamprove that no longer requires pressing the button. You can pause or disable the plug-in, and see that it goes back to the old style. |

Tom's getting actual death threats from the grays for his clearly joking "Because after all, it was just a fucking dog." aside in today's excellent History of Violence column on John Wicke. PS Three more and we're done.  |

Yeah, I figured that out on the way home today. I feel like an idiot (and so should Kinja Ernie). |

I noticed a little orange dot with an exclamation point in the upper right corner of chrome today. When I clicked on it it says:
-----
Kinjaprove is disabled
To re-enable it, accept the new permissions:
Read and change your data on all earther.com sites and all univision sites
-----
Change what to what? I get in enough trouble by myself without somebody else messing with my data.

I get in enough trouble by myself without somebody else messing with my data. This is one of the most unclear things in standard internet speak. When you grant an app permission to access/change your data, you're not giving it free rein to go SkyNet. You're telling the target location that you will be using that app as an agent, and so when you try to use it to do things, the target location shouldn't freak out, that's just you with metaphorical gloves on. |

The willharrisinva random roles featuring Bruce Fucking Dern has less than 65 comments as of this time. Will and Bruce, you deserve far, far better than this. KINJA, YOU MANIACS! YOU BLEW IT UP! AH, DAMN YOU! GOD DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!! |

Anyone else noticing that the Kinjaimprove extension has stopped working? Using Chrome, and AV Club has gone back to total unreadability for me.

Are old upvotes being transferred over? This morning I was hit with a bunch of notifications, only they were of old upvotes, pre-kinja.

And looking at the other posters there, everyone has stars now, at a count more like the pre-kinja levels. |

So, now I'm showing up as pending again over there. I was cleared, but now I'm back in the grays. Also, the kinjamprove macro has the toggle button for show/hide pending, but it's not showing them, so I can't see my own comments anymore. Guess I'm fully done there. |

It appears I got switched back over to my old burner account instead, not the new "merged" account which I was defaulting to. |

Should this thread be subtitled "and now the coming net-neutrality Apocalypse"?

Are any oldschoolers still posting over there at all? I haven't been for awhile because I had a hard time registering and then all my posts were "pending" and it annoyed the hell out of me. I decided to go and scroll through some comments tonight and recognized not one single name among the commenters. Made me sad.
Sorry, btw, if this is a question that has already been asked/answered 100 times already but I haven't been back here in awhile either and I didn't have the wherewithal to plow through all 35 pages of this thread.

I don't go over there much anymore (and almost never post), but I still see at least dirtside and ghost of easy e over there, as well as a few others. |

Alien Jesus is still there, and Xanderpuss, if he counts as old school. Dikachu is safely back at the Avocado, after a falling out. |
