Citizen complaint of the day: That citizen complaint of the day site sucks
By adamg on Tue, 11/09/2021 - 7:54pm
We might as well retire - it's all downhill from here now that a disgruntled citizen has filed a 311 complaint about Universal Hub:
The comrades at universalhub are so excited. Everything has been working out perfectly for them. Maybe the city should disassociate with these lunatics. I request that the city archives and every other city agency be banned from all communications. These are radicals!!!

Oh no
We won’t know where the mystery photo of the day was taken anymore.
I'll submit my own post to 311
I'll express my gratitude, and suggest that Uhub be honored in some way. Anyone else care to follow along?
Oh yeah? Well I have demands too
I demand that every posting on UH begin with a moment of prayer.
I presume ...
... it'd be prudent to start with the satanist congregation from up North, just to avoid the inevitable legal hassle.
Never. Their exclusion and
Never. Their exclusion and ensuing lawsuits are free content.

Every time I click on the comments, I think 'Christ, I hope there's not a Magoo comment.'
Did you see the news?
AdamB made an extension so you don't have to!

I don't use Chrome
but AdamB is doing the work of (non-denominational) angels.
Me neither
But I might have to start.
You can probably convert it to a Firefox extension
For better or worse, Chrome and Firefox extensions largely use the same APIs, and I think there's a way to automatically convert the extensions for use in the other browser. I haven't looked into this recently, though.
(Even easier would be is if this were written as a Greasemonkey script, which would be portable. If I get half an hour I can write one up...)
Not closed as so many are
How did this person read this?? Associating with lunatics?
They're onto us, comrades
Alright, the jig is up, we'll have to disband the whole operation and regroup at the designated spot. It'll take a while to rebuild, but I'm confident we can transpile most of the bots so that they can comment over on the Herald--I mean, the unnamed designated meetup spot--instead.

Can we petition the city to
Can we petition the city to fly the official UHub flag in front of city hall?
You'd have better luck
You'd have better luck getting the Uhub convocation recited in City Council chambers.
case noted
No violation found at this time.
I'm confused. How exactly is the city associated
with uHub in such a way that it could "disassociate" with it?
It doesn't help that I have no idea of the context in which Swirly's post is quoted. I'm guessing it's BPD-related, but that's just a guess.
The city censor ...
Will force me to wear a scarlet U whenever I leave the house.
@Swrrlygirl is famous now!
@Swrrlygirl is famous now: mentioned in Official City of Boston Dispatches no less. That's quite an honor.
Adam, just tell them that the
Adam, just tell them that the position of hub czar, like postmaster general, is an open-ended appointment to prevent political interference and can only be replaced by appointment from the next acting mayor of Boston. Then mark "incident closed".
Make that
the next acting Czar of Boston. Since nobody knows who that is, or who appoints them, Adam’s title can never be revoked.
Actually, the idea of an appointed Czar is a little self-contradictory. Isn’t the Czar God’s anointed? Doesn’t he do the appointing?
Definitely the funniest
Definitely the funniest complaint of the day, if not the week! If the complainant actually mean it, they need brush up a bit on the US Constitution, starting with Amendment #1. That's actually something you are required to learn about if your weren't born a US citizen and want to become one.
Really, now…
I think this is the same person who has hidden the turkey liberation front because it was too offensive…
Miss TLF!
I guess Magoo was pretty mad
about that "no Magoo" browser blocker extension, huh
Which works great, BTW
(That is, he's still here, right? )
I just added last night. Swirrls and Kinopio on the list!
I don't mind Magoo. He has a gem every month or so. Swirrly's boomer humor though and story time? See ya.
So, what do you need to edit
to add names to the list?
(Nothing wrong with blocking people. Nothing wrong with blocking different people than someone else does. )
google chrome edit
at the chrome web store you should be able to install an Advanced profanity Filter. Put the name you want to block in the domain section. It has worked so far for me, buy you might need to play around a bit.
I wrote an alternative

(works in both Firefox and Chrome/Chromium, and you can edit it without too much trouble)
My only complaint about UH
Is that Adam does not freely make accessible stenographic notes of editorial meetings
This is a uHub deep cut.
Nicely done!
RIP to one of the OGs
I miss that guy. Hopefully he's reading every transcription he could ever want in the next world.
Hmm...
As far as I know, Don Saklad is still inhabiting this world. Anyone know any differently?
Although he's not neurotypical...
... he is, nevertheless, on the side of the angels. Openness in government is a good thing. For a generally progressive state, Massachusetts often ranks at or near the bottom of all states for public access to government info.

Hey Adam!
This is great! And this is exactly why I come to UHub - so I can laugh my biscuits off!

False flag
Maybe she filed the complaint on herself as a false flag operation. Sneaky Swirly..
Thanksgiving
During this season of Thanksgiving, I want to give thanks to Adam and the whole UHub community. Adam prints all the news that’s fit to print from the serious to the mundane; from the tragic to the hilarious. And, the commenters make me chuckle almost daily. I depend on it all to stay informed and reasonably sane. Thank you!
This seems like an overly complicated way to make a UHub post
They could have just made an account!
Existential dread now
The complaint has been marked closed:
But if it's been closed, does that mean UHub no longer exists?
Perhaps
it never really existed. It can happen, in the Twilight Zone.
