Reminds me of when unlikely hub of transphobia Mumsnet which has partially driven the huge amount of transphobia both in the government and society (JK Rowling) said "we're not transphobic, actually" then in the same post said the word "cis" was banned.
I have no idea if you're lying and will never find out, that makes it funnier
At the very least he didn't bury the lede, I got the idea after he said "we are conservatives that respect the constitution"
Yeah, I get like this. I post all the memes in the world about standing up to fascists but if anyone ever said anything homophobic or transphobic to me I just kinda nod and try to change the subject or just walk away.
Oh no you're not missing anything, I understand now. Thanks for explaining
Idk if i said it right in my post, but that's what I'm trying to say. Probably about 1000 words too long and confusing lol.
Wrote this as a comment, but was too long. Feel free to disagree.
I think that lemmygrad should be defederated, but i think that lemmy.ml should not be defederated, not for now anyway. The vast majority of people on lemmy.ml are not tankies, and politics or tankieism is not a major topic of discussion on lemmy.ml.
Idk if this is true, but I heard that they suppress anti-ccp views, but as long as they don't defederate from other instances, you can always just post them here or on whatever other instance and they'll still be fully visible from lemmy.ml (i'm pretty sure this is true but not 100%, still pretty new to all this fediverse stuff). If they did however start defederating from every instance that allowed truth about "left" auth governments, then yeah ok you can defederate. But that is not what lemmy.ml is doing, at least not right now.
There's different rules based on instance, this will probably be a sticking point and has the potential to derail lemmy entirely if every instance is only federated with the "correct" instances. Lets say lemmy has 100,000 users, its not that much yet but for example. If there's 10 different "networks" that only talk to each other from that same network that has the same rules (obviously, bigotry/"don't be an asshole" rules need to be enforced for every instance), that site is doomed to failure vs if there's 1 network with everyone talking to each other and generally agreed upon default communities for each topic, or even the idea of "multireddits" in whatever form.
I'm not saying federate with every instance, I'm just saying it should be a HIGH bar, not a low bar like a differing signup policy. Being focused on porn makes sense or even if an instance was 50% porn, that'd make sense. Or obviously if there's bigotry, extremism or violence coming from an instance. Which lemmygrad.ml passes, but lemmy.ml doesn't.
If you defederate based on small things, then there'll be 10 gaming communities, 10 NFL communities, 10 "ask reddit" communities. Which is not sustainable obviously. This was one advantage of reddit, it was a "hub" that had 1 (maximum 2 if a split, there was never 3 that were totally equivalent for any topic) forum for literally every topic in the world. A single for profit company controlling pretty much every equivalent to a 2000s forum on the web was very convenient, but was always going to end badly.
Beehaw.org just defererated lemmy.world and shitjustworks, because of the open signups policy (as opposed to the waist high fence of a few paragraphs explaining why you're not an asshole)
That's a major mistake imo and i don't think I'll be using that account as my "main" anymore. Not like I dislike the instance or anyone from it, but a lot of lemmy is now invisible entirely from there.
TL;DR defederating should be used only when you are fundamentally opposed to the core of an instance. Otherwise the lemmy universe will fracture and fail
the boss move of: just pirating it, at least then you'll actually have the physical files
That's true. It does feel a little strange to have to refer to someone's gender any time you want to refer to them in a sentence. Although conversely for both cis and trans folk alike it's gender affirming for them. It just comes down to language though. It probably seems 100% fine to have genderless pronouns in languages that don't have them.
It's interesting how most of the answers are not just "gay" or "straight" but more complex, because it definitely is for me. I'm pansexual but definitely more into girls. And cis male but wishing I could be a femboy lol
Man he's just cheating with that face and chin shape lol. If I ever tried this shit it'd just be the Chad meme in a dress lol
You have to zoom in and actually focus on the details. Another thing is tiny breaks in the lines or multiple features merging together. It's getting better at words, but if it's a photo for example, look at the background. If the signs and text looks crisp and just more or less normal then it's fine. If background text looks generic or garbled that's means it's ai.
It is very hard and will only get harder. The next evolution is people making videos of them physically drawing as that's pretty much gonna be the only way to tell soon
(sorry if I trolled anyone with the meme lol but I did my best to warn you lol)
Both were down for me before, they seem to be up right now but just made this account on Lemmy.blahaj.zone (Henry is the name of my actual blahaj lol). It's probably because of the traffic influx from reddit refugees from the absolutely disastrous spez ama (where he doubles down on everything and doesn't apologize at all). Allegedly they're trying to suppress Lemmy mentions but I guess it's not working well enough lol
A good problem to have although long term we're going to have to figure out how to deal with these spikes in traffic.
