On this day in 1980, the South African government banned Pink Floyd's single 'Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2)' after Black children adopted the song as their anthem in protest against inferior education.

@pfefferle @snarfed.org AFAIK, it's the "default behavior" for the comments section in the latest themes (> Twenty-Twenty-Three) : as a brigy webmention (like or repost) is a comment first, the comments code is not able to manage it and shows it as a comment containing "brigy response" and a like or repost in the facepiles.
I solved it with the Facepile option in @janboddez 's IndieBlocks plugin.

@pfefferle
Well, that's not how I thought of it...
The 1st place I looked was the AP main options, as it's where you select "all authors", or not.
Then, individual users' profiles, as that's where many options are set.
There are so few options to set via the users admin page, that it's not a natural place to look for specific instructions pertaining to a transverse use...

@pfefferle the users admin page allows access mainly, and you could have done a specific dropdown, visible, like "change role to"... Hidden like it is, nobody will ever check without prior knowledge

@pfefferle @atomicpoet Thx... well hidden, indeed...

@pfefferle @atomicpoet Sure, but where/how? I see the new "capability" at the bottom of each user profile, but it can't be edited.
Does it mean, I need to disable "enable authors" first, allowing the "blog" option only?

@inthehands @badrihippo As a French Tech Lead, with all my problems due to localization, naming conventions in OS and so on, I probably was the problem for the US dev/mktg team...

@inthehands @schrotie Don't know if it was used outside France, but when I was @ MSFT in the 90s, we called (some) users (even inside our teams) the "problem that exists between the chair and the keyboard"

@badrihippo The French acronym was PCC (Problème entre la Chaise et le Clavier)
