This. It's the modern world blocking JavaScript and then complaining is like punching yourself in the cock then being angry at yourself for hurting yourself

It's the modern world, any privacy or security concerned individual should be greatly hesitant about allowing arbitrary code execution on their device from unknown sources

I'm only pointing out the change in behaviour in these situations, the raising of any and all issues should be welcomed, especially when it's a regression from current functionality. The subsequent prioritisation (and deciding what is and isn't a blocker to a migration) is separate to the current assessment where we're making note of all issues, so I don't think it's unreasonable at all to comment on things like non-js behaviour.

I especially don't think it's unreasonable to point out poor UX when javascript is blocked, where a workable solution is just as easy to implement. That's on the developer for not considering the non js use case. It's okay for some functionality to require js (that's why it exists), but the alternative UX should always be considered - even if it's a general solution of "this page requires javascript, sorry". In the specific case of revealing spoilers, a better implementation in the non-js case would be having the spoiler hidden, and preferably stating that the user should enable js to view them (or do something else as a workaround, like quote the post).

I don't think it's a blocker to a discourse migration, but I think it's noteworthy all the same.

Probably blocked on that particular network. Test on 4G.

Aww, I don’t have 4G in the office. How will I be able to use this site for aggressive procrastination after the move?

It took me 2 weeks and I already did it.

There are some features that we would need to do a bit of modding to carry over as well.

The most controversial thing is likely to be pagination, I think. Although the implementation of infinite scroll in Discourse is quite good, I can't imagine everyone being happy with it, so I personally do think that it needs to be modded in as a user option. I also think we would also have to work particularly closely with Ironhide, as I know he uses a legacy theme for accessibility reasons, and I wouldn't want him to become unable to use the forum.
