Against.

Pretty much eeveeryone have clarified the good reasons Against already, and I share most of them. The one that I want to emphasize more is that regarding this point:

But I also have an expectation (mainly from other forms of social media) [...]

Half the point of lemmy is that it's not like other forms of social media, at least the big ones. This is not Twitter where we know already everyone is nazis, or Reddit where people can just brigand and go bomb-review software projects or stuff like that with impunity. The other half is that it's federated and public. That, by nature, has to somehow include the votes.

We're on lemmy. Let's own it.

and it seems they want to only allow it in urgent cases where terrorist attacks

Then they just have to call anything they don't like "terrorist attack" (let's say, a comment on climate change) and bam, instant nazism.

How did you acquire this power?

BRO JUST ONE MORE CHURU, BRO

Maybe instead of removing the RCE, we can lock down the sandbox better and reduce the amount of information advertisers can collect.

By all means but then someone do it, because it's 2025 and even Firefox sends all this information that is absolutely not needed to show a webpage. It's at least 25 years late by this point.

If you remove code execution in the browser, then many websites will need to ship desktop apps instead.

Which in quite more than just some cases would be good, precisely because some things should be native programs instead of requiring that the web browser basically provides all the tasks of the OS.

Just because there are other ways to serve you ads does not at all mean we should not be able to not only stop at least one, but also the one which is most dangerous since it literally allows for RCE on all clients. by design.

JavaScript is needed to actually build anything useful.

Yes.

It's impressive that for a technology that's supposed to be better than Mastodon (bloated) or Reddit (ass-corporate), Lemmy still relies on the same basic evils.

the website wouldn’t need to embed any JS code.

That's the point.

Okay lemme make sure but...

...this is the UK right? Where Windsor is located? Where they have literal royalty? With castles and stuff? Where they have all the money ill-gotten from invading Africa and the Americas?

And they are expecting the commoneers to pony up to place a statue for a cat?

Consider:

On Linux, you'd only be fighting the Steam Launcher if things come to blows.

On Windows, you have to start fighting against the entire system, on day 1.
