@Grenade123 Another interesting tidbit from the article on Marsh v. Alabama:

While the Marsh holding at first appears somewhat narrow and inapplicable to the present day due to the disappearance of company towns from the United States, it was raised in the somewhat high-profile 1996 cyberlaw case, Cyber Promotions v. America Online [...]. Cyber promotions wished to send out "mass email advertisements" to AOL customers. AOL installed software to block those emails. Cyber Promotions sued on free speech grounds and cited the Marsh case as authority for the proposition that even though AOL's servers were private property, AOL had opened them to the public to a degree sufficient that constitutional free speech protections could be applied.

In that case, though, the court disagreed

That's why we have spam filters at the ISP level now

but that was a company vs another company

This is true

Below that the article also mentions that the original case may be grounds against current Social Media companies, and that would be a case of the people vs. a company again

exactly

@Timcast i know its 1 am for you, but Marsh v. Alabama might be interesting for you to cover

I dunno about you, but typically if I get mentioned in the middle of the night, I don't bother looking for it in the morning (on this server, at any rate)

You might want to just DM him

i do, there is a way to just look at mention

Yeah, but without seeing the context of the conversation

i mean, i gave him all the context needed, the rest he can get from just a quick look up

also, you can click on the mention and it will jump to the location in chat, from there its like 2 sentences

Wait, you can click on the mention and it will take you there?

there is a little button that says "jump"

on desktop

on mobile just tap it

I never noticed that

here

I mean, if I scroll to the bottom where the mention inevitably is, I'll see the context, but when I went to that channel there wasn't anything of the sort

That might have something to do with the fact that I've muted the channel though

i mean, i just put it there so that, while looking in this channel, you can open the mentions window (@ symbol in the upper right on desktop, or bottom by your name in the service list screen on mobile) and just click the mention to jump to it

Is *that* what that button does

_had never clicked it before_

learn something new every day

I don't get too many mentions either

It would help if it lit up when you had an unread mention

i don't usually either, but like you said, useful when you come back to a mention from the middle of the night that is now a mile back in chat

Wow, the server is unusually quiet right now
