Sites that force javascript on you, like Poal are very dubious.

Two things everyone should know, but very few people do know about JS.

  1. It is completely unnecessary to make a website work. It can all be done on the server side, devs who use it are simply cheap fucks putting the work of content delivery off on you CPU instead of their own. Users are either ignorant about it, or brainwashed to just go along with the ass fucking and keep quiet about it.

  2. More importantly. JS is a security risk to users. Again, JS is a security risk to users. Enabling JS puts you at risk to all manner of evil fuckery by webdevs. Not saying that is what AOC is up to, but definitely could be. The problem for a user is the only way to find out if a website is up to fuckery with JS is to allow their JS to run. Once you do that, if they are up to fuckery, you just got fucked. The only intelligent thing to do is block all JS on all sites.

There is no reason whatsoever for a site to require you to allow JS to run in order for their site to work properly, anyone who says otherwise is a liar and almost certainly up to fuckery.

Poal does not work with JS blocked.

I'm not talking about their alleged 'spit and polish' 'features', I'm talking about basic site functionality. Block JS and away goes your settings, inbox etc.

Any site that forces you to allow JS for basic site functionality is dubious at the very best.

That's true, be he's not technologically literate enough to understand it.

Poal's server does the python to html rendering before serving the pages. JS is mainly used for buttons and to submit forms.

I tried to (it's not the first time he's been reeeeing about it).

He still mad.

I guess it would be possible to turn all buttons into target="_blank" links, but every time you upvote a new tab would open. The other option is every time you upvote you are navigated away from the page.

We (you and I) know that. It's not viable on a larger scale.

Well it's also a terrible idea. We could, but that would be stupid. I'll leave it to OP to build a site like that.
