not many available explanations for 330ml of epoxy. I'm sure he tried to find one, but i'd be hard pressed to find one in the short timespan on the way to the ER.

If someone is searching for that paper, here you go

Edit: The reference list sounds like the who-is-who of shitposts.

Those were the times when my ISP, which was owned 100% by the city, had it's own newsgroups server full of warez lol

Still not as intrusive as the bottom example

There is a massive difference between the two scenarios: In the UK, Monarchy is a tourism thing without any real power and the propaganda is more like an advertisement; In China, the power is concentrated in the party, the propaganda has a completely different goal.

I can understand the reservation against an AP-Platform not making clear that they display only a subset of messages, but not against the practice by itself. After all, it's a platform specifically for showing images. A notification when following a non-pixelfed account that only image posts will be shown would do the trick too, but implementing the option to view text posts gives the user more agency, which is normally the best path as long as it doesn't mess with usability.
