That person seems like one of those toxic assholes who misgenders people on purpose and is okay with forcing gender stereotypes onto people even if it means misgendering them for what they believe to be some greater good. I think they probably should've gotten a permaban, not a temporary one.

Couldn't agree more, this shit is toxic as fuck. Really don't get how they're saying the mod is abusive, that mod was probably too nice.
You sound like an alt of @dragonfucker@lemmy.nz. Just further reinforces my opinion that you deserve it that much more.
YDI, your behavior is incredibly hostile and uncalled for. Also WTF? Claiming people can't play the girl characters and have long hair while still being cis? What the hell, that sounds so dumb and outdated, people can like whatever the fuck they want without it having a deeper meaning. Who the Fuck do you think you are to try and argue otherwise?
Also it's a two day ban, take the mod's advice and cool your head, instead of starting more shit.
Which instance? I'm on many of them.
(Some are Mastodon, those ones have more content than shown in search but microblog content isn't visible to Lemmy)
Even if I could donate to one of them I couldn't donate to all of them.
I would if I had extra money, even if I did though the big question would be which one should I donate to?
If you didn't post the previous one in 196 I'm not ever going to see it because I'm browsing in !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone
Maybe so, but I could still imagine her signing some awful bills because "people" wanted it. No where near as bad as what is to come but still awful.

Image Description: A knight riding a large pale blue dragon. The dragon has bright orange eyes. The saddle and cape are a bright orange color. In the background a palace and trees can be seen mostly cut off by the left border of the image. The sky is a blue-yellow color, likely early morning just before dawn.
Not having a government and police doesn't mean there aren't rules, it means there isn't one single governing body and enforcement team, like there is with most governments. This community having rules is very different than a government which enforces laws and spaces like this would continue to exist as they do in an anarchist society.
Hear me out, there are trans people who are indeed extremists (I should know, I've been victim to many of them). However that doesn't mean all trans people are. Trans people are just people, and like all people there are good ones, evil ones, and ones who make mistakes.
Hexbear are extremists though, there might be some decently alright people on there but for the most pat the active ones there are very extreme and tend to spam, lash out, throw insults, and it's very likely they were the ones who DDoSed Lemmy.world in the days of frequent outages shortly after Lemmy.world denied them. OP you made the right call, it is a very bad idea to recommend people go to hexbear.
A solution I thought of is that we could potentially create a bot that checks if a downvoter is subscribed to the community they are voting in. If they downvote more than 3 posts a day in such as community they get a 3 day ban, second time they get a 7 day ban, third time they get permanent ban.
Also if they downvote more than 70% of a community's posts they get permabanned either way. Downvote happy subscribers are clearly trying to game the system, so they don't get two chances to correct the behavior before a permanent one.
Could have the rules be customizable or not, basically it would check those two statuses and impose a ban if correct conditions aren't met or the user goes overboard with downvoting. Users who would want to use it in their community could simply add the bot via photon or the API.
It would be much better if more servers actively defederated or limited their server, that way the things they say and do would have less effect on the other servers that aren't affiliated with them.
I probably would've signed up at lemmy.ml if they hadn't closed registrations in the Reddit migration, very glad I didn't though from what has happened there. I signed up to Lemmy.world instead, and even though it is problematic in many ways at least the Admins there aren't trigger happy power tripping bastards, trying to promote their pro-russia tankie shit.
I heard that the filter used to be hardcoded and there was a lot of controversy because the devs refused to remove it or allow it to be customized but they folded when people were willing to fork it to remove the limitation or remove it altogether.
Remember in the early days of the Fediverse when people said it was all about "freeze peach"? Yeah that was not good. Not only is it wrong and would disappoint and piss off a lot of people when they learn about defederation and that you can still get banned, but it also attracts a lot of extremely rotten people to the platform. Remember exploding-heads? Yeah that was a side effect of that lie to try and promote the Fediverse.

Why doesn't the image display a preview or display in the post?
Here's the image by the way for other people who can't see it:
I think it looks very nice
Is this bot really needed anymore? I mean Lemmy now embeds tags into the posts, probably could be better at doing that but still.
Oh for sure. The name bot or spam defense is really a lie or doublespeak, their real purpose is anti-competition by automatically banning people who post in different subreddits. Combating spam isn't their real purpose (they just say that because you can't openly violate moderator CoC, you can only do it if you say you aren't doing it), it's making people afraid to visit competing subreddits or punish people for using subreddits the mods of the current subreddit hold a grudge against.
Hello and welcome to Stable Dragons, the community for sharing AI generated artwork and imagery of and related to dragons. Despite the name we do support usage of multiple AI models to generate the images, our Avatar and Banner were generated using DALL-E. However stable diffusion and AI-Horde is preferred and recommended here, even if it is not explicitly required. Please make sure to read the rules in the sidebar before posting.
If you have anything to ask please feel free to comment in this thread.
This community has a rule requiring NSFW content be marked and also in addition banning certain forms of NSFW content altogether. The purpose of this post is to clarify exactly the types of content that must be marked and content that isn't allowed.
Content Which must be flagged as NSFW
---------------------------------------------
- Sexual content
This includes scenes of mild nudity, such as a naked woman or people bathing in a stream or river. Images with naked humans must be marked as NSFW regardless if they have genitalia visible due to possibly offending people on the count of cultural reasons associated with nudity. Nudity in dragons or humanoid dragon characters is permitted as SFW provided they do not have visible genitalia.
In addition content that can be seen as sexually suggestive, such as alluding to the act of sex must be marked as NSFW.
Note that Pornographic content such as sex scenes or maturation is not permitted at all in this community or on dbzer0 as a whole.
--------------------------------------------------
- Violent content
Minor amounts of blood and violence are to be expected in a community about dragons. However any content which contains it must be marked as NSFW. An example could include a dragon ripping apart and eating a fish, a dragon eating an animal, a dragon fighting against a knight. Things which may contain minor amounts of violence but are otherwise natural. Content like this is permitted provided it is not too graphic (if it's more violent than a BBC nature documentary it may not be acceptable, will be handled on a case-by case basis).
--------------------------------------------------
- Controversial, political, or potentially offensive content
Content which could be considered controversial must be flagged as NSFW, this could include usage of political flags from now defunct imperialist or fascist regimes. As well as fantasy usage of flags from currently operating fascist or imperialistic regimes. It can also include wars or combat scenes. There is a limit to whether things may be considered propaganda but we do want to encourage artistic freedom and exploration.
------------------------------------------------
Content that is not allowed under any circumstances
-------------------------------------------------
- Beastiality
Any depictions of beastiality or encouragement of the practice no matter how seemingly mundane or benign they may appear are unacceptable and will be immediately removed and lead to a permanent ban, as well as Admin notification. This is more extreme than simply pornographic content as beastiality is illegal and morally disgusting.
--------------------------------------------------
- Sexual depictions of underage characters (CSAM)
Any sexual depictions of underage characters are not allowed and highly illegal. Posting material containing them known as Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) will result in a permanent ban on sight, Admins will be contacted, as well as law enforcement. This is a heinous crime in many jurisdictions and can have severe and dangerous implications for instances caught up in it. Yes this does include underage dragon characters, fantasy CSAM is still CSAM.
--------------------------------------------------
- Violence towards underage characters
Content depicting violence towards underage characters is unacceptable and will not be allowed here. This includes content which portrays violent or gruesome attacks against underage characters, killing of underage characters, or the live consumption of underage characters. This type of content will be immediately removed if posted and ban will be applied to the user who posted it. This content's legality isn't entirely clear but it is safe to say it might be illegal, and so admins will be contacted in the event this content is posted.
----------------------------------------------------
- Extreme Violence or Terrorist content
Content which contains extreme violence such as excessive dismemberment or depictions of genocide, as well as any and all depictions of terrorism is not allowed under any circumstances. Examples of terrorist content include imagery evocative of terrorism, promoting of terrorism, or terrorist propaganda. Propaganda encouraging genocide or violence towards any groups or excusing the genocide of any groups falls under this rule, even if the groups are fictional. Terrorist content can be considered illegal in many countries so violations to this one will be taken extremely seriously and may result in a permanent ban, and will result in Admins being contacted.
-----------------------------------------------------
There may be grey areas or areas where the distinction between acceptable and not is unclear. In these situations it is up to moderator discretion as well as intent of the person posting it which will determine if it is acceptable or not, as well as the action which will be taken if it is deemed in violation. As of note if the dbzer0 admins determine something to be illegal or unacceptable their discretion takes precedence over the moderation team.
Requirements Is this a feature request? For questions or discussions use https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support Did you check to see if this issue already exists? Is this only a feature request? Do not p...
An idea I just recently had was to add the ability for users to verify accounts on Lemmy using Matrix accounts as an alternative to Email. I think this would be a great idea since it allows for users to have choices in how they sign-up to their accounts. It would also encourage more usage of Matrix accounts for secure messaging between users, a feature which hasn't seen much use among users here.
It would still in most cases be optional and server admins could choose if it's even enabled at all, just like how email verification is right now. Even if it was required I feel like it should be a supplement to email in most cases but servers could choose to make it required instead of email, especially in cases where they don't have a mail server.
The different states of it could be:
- Matrix or Email Required
- Matrix required, Email optional
- Email Required, Matrix optional
- Email and/or Matrix Optional
Servers could also choose to have the matrix account used for verification be on a server that isn't their own, though this would generally be discouraged and would be specifically for admins who don't have their own infrastructure (like the ones who don't have a mail server).
I made an issue on the Main Lemmy github, feel free to check it out here. Feel free to either share your opinions on this here or on the Github issue.
Hello I'm not a person who is affected by this community moderator but I'm posting on behalf of people who are, since they don't seem to know of this community yet. I attempted to reach some via DM but I'm not sure they'll respond. So I'm making this post since I feel this needs to be addressed.
Recently I was made aware of a community that appeared randomly on Lemmy.world. It seems to be a troll community given the type of content, but the reason I'm posting about it here specifically is that this mod seems to be banning anyone who points this out or goes against his narrative. Furthermore he is only using the autoremove on ban function, not removing any content the users have posted, which I believe is deliberate in attempt to prevent the content from showing up under the modlog and revealing the hypocrisy.
---------------------------------------
Some samples of comments:
Comment from: @glimse@lemmy.world
>Everything else you posted has been pretty cringe but what he fuck is up with this one, dude lol
comment from: @rain_worl@lemmy.world
>free software is SLOWING DOWN tech advancement??????? WHAT???????
comment from: @rain_worl@lemmy.world
comment from: @the_toast_is_gone@lemmy.world
>First off, nice new community. I look forward to days of quality posts such as this./s > >Second, how many Linux distros have this level of data collection, and what is their estimated market share?
--------------------------------
All of these were retrieved from the API, even though they aren't included in the modlogs, I could've included more but it's kind of a time consuming process to look for them and retrieve them. Viewing removed comments is easier on Lemmy than it is on Reddit but it still isn't easy.
What do you guys think, does this seem like power-tripping? Also does this person's content seem like blatant troll content?
CC: @glimse@lemmy.world @rain_worl@lemmy.world @the_toast_is_gone@lemmy.world
People who's comments I mentioned, I CCed them so they know I did this on their behalf
I messaged a mod from the community, not sure if that was the one who did it but this was weird. Not sure if it's power-tripping probably a mistake but it's certainly weird and seems like a knee jerk reaction since I didn't have activity in those last 10 days (I checked for votes too). Also no other bans in the modlog for "sock puppet account" so I don't even know why I would be singled out.
Why would someone think I was a sock puppet account? Because I have multiple accounts on different instances? Really weird...
Account is @Draconic_NEO@lemmy.world, I didn't post from that account since I try to keep each account on each separate instance (helps prevent accidental vote manipulation).
Right wingers encouraging others to buy upvotes and downvotes on Reddit to push right-wing politics and suppress their opposition.
Just wondering if it would be possible to enable the instance on LemmyFederate since then we could more easily distribute communities from here to elsewhere since as it is it's kind of hard to grow communities or even just have them be discoverable on other instances.
Uh for those who don't know LemmyFederate is a service that allows communities to be distributed to other instances via a bot that subscribes to them, then unsubscribes once a real user joins. It's helpful because communities don't become visible on remote servers until someone from that server searches and subscribes to it. Due to a limitation of how the Activitypub system works.
I was looking to try and get the Steam Deck's keyboard themes, the official ones but without getting them via the official methods. The main reason is that when getting them through the official methods they don't work offline but CSSloader themes do work offline and have no DRM.
This post contains a list of resources for people wishing to play Minecraft for free, including launchers, bypasses for launcher account checks, and skin/auth services.
Launchers
This section focuses on custom launchers.
PollyMC
PollyMC is a fork of the popular launcher known as PrismLauncher, it has been modified to remove the Premium account requirement, and also has had other features re-added like FTB modpack support and curseforge bypass which many other launchers chose to remove. In addition PollyMC also comes with support for Alternative Auth Services.
The launcher is available on Windows, MacOS, and Linux, and even has flatpak available (not available in flathub).
Legacy Launcher
Legacy Launcher, formerly known as TLauncher is a Minecraft Launcher with support for the Ely.by auth server as well as robust modding support. In Legacy launcher you need to download mods and modpacks manually as it doesn't have download support built-in to the client like PollyMC.
To download you will need to use a VPN to another country as the Admins of the site disabled downloads to certain countries. You could also use the russian Mirror version of the site.
For the Flathub version you will have to run this command to bypass Microsoft account requirements:\
flatpak --user override ch.tlaun.TL --env=TL_BOOTSTRAP_OPTIONS=-Doomsday
Prism/Poly/MultiMC Bypass
If you really want to use the Original Prism or MultiMC Launcher versions these have Microsoft account requirements in them, however it is possible to bypass this requirement. A guide by the name of PrismLauncher bypass highlights how to do this, both automatically via commands or manually by copying the file. The accounts.json file also works on MultiMC and other similar forks.
Warning about Malicious Launchers
There are certain launchers out there such as TLauncher which are malicious and include spyware in them. Such Launchers are often named after or similarly to well known reputable launchers. It's important to only download reputable launchers from official sources.
Alternate Auth/Skin servers
This next section focuses on alternate auth servers, these are a few picked from the list of auth servers on PollyMC's github.
Ely.by
Ely.by is one of the more popular Auth servers, it includes its own Skins system, which is proxied with the official one allowing both skin systems to be active together. In addition Ely.by can also be installed on servers which allows for it to be used as authorization in place of the official servers.
Blessing Skin Server
Blessing skin server is another popular authorization server, as the name implies this one's primary focus is on Minecraft skins, it supports both regular and also HD skins. It does have auth support as well but its auth support isn't as well documented as ely\.by.
LittleSkin (alt Instance of Blessing Skin)
A secondary instance of Blessing Skin with basically the same features, just on a different website.
Non-Premium Servers
While the majority of Minecraft servers these days are premium servers there are still plenty of servers which do not require premium account login.
You can find these servers on various lists such as:
Mos of these servers are public Minigames servers, if you want more survival oriented or building servers these are harder to find. People can feel free to share servers they know of here.
Also there are basically no free servers at all which use alternate auth servers like ely.by and BlessingSkin, Hopefully this can change in the future, if you know of any such servers feel free to share them in this community.
