The point wasn't about never blocking anything from being seen and showing all content regardless of what it is, the point was being able to choose an individual instance where the moderation lines up with what you want to see or not see.

There isn't even an admin statement yet about the reason, let's just wait at least more than 40 minutes before pulling out pitchforks. I'm sure there's a perfectly valid reason, considering the admins here are pretty transparent about this stuff.

I've seen a few posts that have done this. I was thinking that maybe it was just because someone commented on an old post, and it bumped it up into the feed, but I've also seen one or two that don't have any new comments at all, just 2-year-old posts with 2-year-old comments randomly sprinkled into the feed.

Yes, I wrote a comment here on it but there's some more technical explanations on other comments on this post

tl;dr: it's basically DRM but for websites, also serves as adblocker/trackerblocker prevention that can't be bypassed.

I've never used it myself, but I've heard a lot of people use something called birdtray to do that

It is, but for this it could still be considered separate depending how sites implement it because this is checking how the page is loading itself on the browser, not an is-chromium checker.

I wonder if sites that implement this and lock certain browsers out are valid for web compatibility reports

Have used a GTX 1070, RTX 3060 and an RX 6700 XT on Linux, and I've had the best experience on the AMD card so far. AMD has been really nice and I've barely had any issues. Since the driver is in the kernel for AMD, it tends to have better support overall, though. Main difference with AMD is you might need to keep Mesa fairly up to date for some cards, I haven't ever had to worry about it with mine though, it's just plug and play.
