![CSS seems a bit fuckered up, or I don't know about this feature [1343x879 - 106KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/Ws88UM.png){kind=link}
It is a recent change and seems intentional to me (may not be).
Notice the 40% opacity posts have negative "flare" icons next to their names; happy merchant, pepe, nigger, shit pile, etc.
These negative signifiers seem to be branded on trolls and shills to signify them as being such. Similar to how assholes who go against site rules and downvote things they disagree with instead of only off-topic comments and spam posts can lead to the Suspicious Behavior tag and all points removed.
The page element of these posts have gone from "commnotblocked" (a comment by a person you do not have blocked) as the others are, to now being "commblocked".
I believe it could be related to a soft-blocking aspect (partially dimmed instead of collapsed as blocked users are) being added to that site kike/shill/asshole-branding feature.
I love this. Thank you very much. I am now saving it:
If that is true, it's a 'feature' I don't want. It pisses me off when I browse Hacker News and people have their comments grayed out and sometimes dead in the water.
If it is not a bug and is intentional and AOU states it will be staying, here is one way that you can manually undo the change if you might be interested.
If you are not currently using it, Stylus is very helpful for altering the look of specific sites through full themes or just minor changes like removing this lowered opacity.

If you create a new theme in it and change what sites the change is active on to poal.co and all pages on the domain, you can revert those elements to being full opacity again with this CSS code:
.commblocked { opacity: 1; }
To be clear, "Stylus" is useful for custom CSS for sites, not "Stylish" - Stylish steals user data. https://www.theregister.com/2018/07/05/browsers_pull_stylish_but_invasive_browser_extension/ https://forum.userstyles.org/discussion/69229/anyway-to-stop-stylish-stealing-my-data https://www.izoologic.com/2019/01/14/popular-browser-extension-stylish-discovered-stealing-browser-data/ https://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/3ztpau/stylish_does_it_data_track/ https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/199218/is-stylish-safe-to-use-again https://robertheaton.com/2018/07/02/stylish-browser-extension-steals-your-internet-history/ https://www.iafrikan.com/2018/07/05/similar-web-has-been-this-browser-extension-it-bought-in-2017-to-steal-the-browsing-history-of-2-million-users/ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17447816
I'm not going to code the fucking sites I want to browse. That's for them to do. I do appreciate the suggestion, and maybe it will become useful, but this shit's just gay.
it's a 'feature' I don't want.
lol You're free to kvetch on fakevoat then.
