You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
None of them really fit me. Do I need to hand in my transfem card? :P
2·19 hours agoThink of it like email.
You have an email account with yahoo. That allows you to send and receive emails from gmail users, but it doesn’t let you login to gmail with your yahoo account.
There are projects around to try and change that, so you can login to one instance using your account on another instance, but at this point in time, it’s basically not a thing that can be done by most fediverse software.
Thanks. This is one of the reasons we generally don’t upgrade immediately :)
You think a trans person getting death threats wouldn’t love to be able to identify as their AGAB?
No… That person wouldn’t be me, they’d be someone else…
I don’t remember him speaking like that though! :P
1002·3 days agoIt’s a federated protocol, but the network itself isn’t meaningfully federated, and is basically just Bluesky (the company) infrastructure. Hopefully that changes, because until then, it’s still a centralised social media platform, despite the underlying technology
Maybe I’ve just played too much Shadowrun with too many Australians, but lots of them ended up speaking like that, even when they weren’t meant to be Australian! :)
A poster in that community posted a link to stonetoss (a vocal transphobic nazi artist). The post was removed by an automod, only to be manually restored. The person who posted it (the only mod of the community) hasn’t deleted it. It’s still visible on the home instance today.
For that reason, the community and the person who posted the nazi artist have been removed from blahaj, because if they won’t moderate nazi content, it means I have to double check every submission to that community.
If the sole moderator of a community was banned from an instance, does that make the community unavailable to the instance they were banned from?
No.
No, it doesn’t make the group inaccessible by other users, however, if the content posted by the banned user is also removed, it means that a lot of the group content also goes away if that user was active.
In this case, I also banned the group itself, because a group that won’t moderate against nazis is a group that I have to moderate to ensure nazi content doesn’t slip through.
But if it’s a one-off then I understand that you might not have the context to know that this guy is an asshole.
If you have any evidence of Lawrence acknowledging that stonetoss is a nazi and making it clear it won’t be posted again, I’m happy to restore that user.
If they just stayed silent on the whole topic, and didn’t acknowledge, I’m not giving them the benefit of the doubt.
Question for the mods: Is it possible to open a proper investigation to see if we can restore access to [email protected]? I love comics, it’s kind of a bummer that I can’t look at content (or even find) the largest comic community on Lemmy
If you can show me that something has happened to ensure that stonetoss won’t appear in that community again I’m happy to restore it, but as it stands, the stonetoss comic that started this is still visible in that community on lemmy.world. Lawrence (the only mod of the community) hasn’t removed it.
8·7 days agoI don’t drive. At work and at home I have multiple fast food options within a very short walking distance
Children tempted to drink gasoline, for example.
Sure. But the goal with kids is to work them towards being able to think for themselves. We guide them until they can, and even then, the guidance should look like rules and guidelines, not indoctrination of thoughts and beliefs.
And lets take your scenario and extend it. Lets say that aliens come along, and they see our planet, and they realise that it’s doomed because if they don’t intervene, scenario X will happen. They can’t solve this for us, so they need us to mobilise to save ourselves.
Aliens that come along and set “rules for our own good”, and enforce certain protective rules and regulations, like strict space parents, but do so without trying to control what we think are more “good” than aliens that indoctrinate away our free will and artificially create “voluntary” compliance.
In the first scenario, the space parents are saving us. In the second scenario, the space parents are replacing us.
It doesn’t matter how you do it, if your goal is to make someone think the way you want them to, rather than trying to get them to think for themselves, it’s the same problem
Because it’s fast… Because I can take it home… Because it doesn’t feel like I’m trashing something nice when I order it to be delivered…
There isn’t, because installing chips in everyone that effectively over-rides their identity is mutually exclusive with “goodness”
Hey, so this is posted from a brand new account, with no post history or engagement, other than two posts linking to an offsite blog. If you’re legit, I’m going to ask that you engage with the post or reply to me.
Many years ago on reddit, you could get given gold. It gave you paid benefits. My comments earned me literally years worth of gold, and my karma was similarly increasing.
Then I came out as trans. Suddenly the gold stopped and my karma stagnated
That kind of bias is built in to the karma system. It doesn’t just punish shit takes, it also sidelines visible minorities
110·11 days agoNo. I just thought some browsing all saw this post and decided to give the OP shit for no reason.
Not even!
