  • I don’t think I can help her become more comfortable with HER sexual side;

    Well you could start by not calling her attempts to make advances "childish". In those instances when she does her advances, how exactly are you communicating with her? How do you react, what do you tell her?

    If she's genuinely trying to be affectionate with you but gets shut down, it's not hard to see why she wouldn't be partiularly into it. So it definitely would be a good idea to find out how she feels about your reactions to her advances.

  • Blocked instances question
  • The line in this instance is to not use defederation as a political tool, and that is IMO correct

    That doesn't really mean anything imo. Not defederating is just as much a political decision as defederating is. There's no way around taking some sort of stance, intentional or not.

    Blocked instances question

    Hey, I just did a quick browse through the blocked instances list for infosec.pub and have a few questions about it. Seems like we are blocking sh.itjust.works which at first glance just looks like one of the bigger general purpose instances. Meanwhile more overtly problematic instances like lemmygrad (tankie instance) or exploding heads ("free speech extremists") are federated with. Generally the block list seems fairly small compared to a lot of other instances.

    So are these intentional choices or is it more a matter of the admins not (having the time to be) bothering with it? If it's not intentional, maybe checking some other instances blocklists to weed out the biggest trolls/offenders could be useful.

    How can I block an instance?
  • I don't think Lemmy proper has that feature yet, but some apps might.

    Other than that you could open an account on an instance more in line with your prefered blocks or use kbin which already allows for instance blocking.

  • Stop installing urban honeybee hives
  • will eventually select qualities to sustain survival. Commercial beekeeping does little for natural selection

    I don't think we can consider this a guarantee for any species at this point. Climate change, habitat loss and pollution are way too fast-moving and hazardous factors, that natural selection is just guaranteed to be able to catch up in time.

  • so Twitch is blocking Firefox now... EDIT: It was my firefox's enhanced security causing the problem.
  • From the twitch pages

    The desktop web browser experience of twitch.tv and supporting sites, officially support the latest two versions of Google Chrome, the latest two versions of Mozilla Firefox, the most recent version of Microsoft Edge, and the most recent version of Apple Safari.

    What's your browser version OP, so we can rule out whether it's just a version issue

  • Defederation is just another form of censorship
  • Limiting the visibility of somebody voice is also censorship

    It's not (always). Especially if the people "limiting your voice" are the ones giving you the platform to reach other people in the first place, usually out of their own pocket or thanks to donations. In the fediverse at least you can always set up your own instance.

  • Are there alternatives to platforms like youtube and twitch.
  • Peertube is a video and streming platform (like youtube) and owncast a streaming platform (like twitch) that are FOSS, self-hostable and connected to the Fediverse. Although I don't think getting any amount of viewers on those platforms will be any easier.
