Lemmy.ml enacts censorship in this manner as well

I was talking about censorship in general, but you might be right specifically about Luigi mentions on those instances, I would not know.

There are whole entire communities dedicated to discussion of this effect - e.g. !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works.

Your example removed comment is fair, although done by a community mod rather than as the OP article here suggests done without the Reddit sub mods even being able to see the comments prior to removal. Then again, Lemmy.World is rather authoritian on the spectrum. You can always move your account to some other instance that you prefer better btw, like lemmy.dbzer0.com if you want a more anarchist experience or slrpnk.net for communism.

The beauty of Lemmy is not that we are a so-called "free speech platform" - bc we are definitely NOT that! - but rather that we can easily shift over to somewhere else if need be, even spin up our very own instance (that one takes resources, time, and technical knowledge).

For example, I've given up on most of the largest communities on Lemmy.world, most of the time, and subscribe rather to smaller versions elsewhere.

Apparently saying [some stuff] is now against the rules too even though they never told us

Lemmy.ml enacts censorship in this manner as well, as too does Midwest.social. But there are so very many other instances that do not, making the former easy to avoid while being able to engage with a ton of content:-).

The ultimate trolly problem solution!

Silly!? Low-effort?! On the Fediverse?!

Sounds like !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone to me! 🤪

they managed to keep the domain in the end

Thank you.

Isn't intelligence somewhat like the word "good" - as in, someone must be "good at" something, rather than inherently. Are cars "good"? (sometimes but not always...) Are cats? Are people? e.g. regarding the latter, there are many tasks for which a computing device is much better than most people - e.g. sorting a list of >1000000 elements, within one second (and then doing that task, without pausing or slowing down or error, in perpetuity). So the term "good" is only definable given a known fitness landscape.

Which then becomes somewhat naive to try to extrapolate beyond that - bc then someone good at sports could be said to be "intelligent" (at performing their particular sport?), or someone with high emotional flexibility at adaptive to new circumstances, etc. Ironically enough, someone with good accounting skills (always thinking within the box, that being the whole point for them) would likely make a horrible scientist (who needs to think OUTSIDE of the box), and potentially though not guaranteed vice versa.

So intelligence must be reflective of.... SOMETHING, blah blah hand waving meaning things that "I" am good at, basically. I know right, I have all the best-er-est words, I am such a jenius, and so on.

How would that measure the intelligence of a tribal person who has not seen abstracted geometrical shapes?

So yeah, they would be less "intelligent" at performing those tasks that are measured by the test. Corollary: people on average may legitimately have gotten more intelligent over time, depending on availability of schooling. Thus necessitating adjustment of the measurement system, if the real goal was not to measure "intelligence" and rather to provide some kind of separation among people based solely on that singular metric (which itself should be questioned, if the people doing so are wise rather than merely intelligent:-).

Hrm, I would hate to think so but... maybe? If only it would helpfully label itself, we could appreciate the message itself untainted by such worries.

For or against won't matter when he's made king.

Invited Alexander over to an event, then regretted it THAT much (he had to make a plausible excuse somehow!:-P).

Thanks - I actually had the setting turned on already but triggering it off and back on again caused it to start working properly, for whatever reason. Indeed that is a helpful indicator:-).

This account (that you responded to) was created a mere few hours ago. It might even have been created purely to troll people, possibly by someone who has gotten used to being banned using a recognizable account name.

On PieFed I find it very helpful to see an icon next to people's names indicating brand-new accounts. Some Lemmy apps can do that as well (I switched over to Voyager here to see if it would, but nope, at least not by default). Anyway I wanted to point out that it is a very useful feature, for exactly such scenarios as this!

AI Trump, brought to you by Musk:-D

Counterpoint: then why emphasize "nude photos", over e.g. the patients' financial information?

This title is clearly leaning into the sensationalism.

Which has enormous ramifications, e.g. right-wingera world-wide right now have mostly stopped listening to traditional media sources, citing how untrustworthy it is.

In this case the info is at least correct just slanted, though in other cases it gets so slanted as to qualify actually for the word "biased" (even if it was an editorial decision purely for the title of a piece rather than the actual author).

On such events the decay and fall of entire empires democracies rests.

Well, I need to step off of this soapbox I guess - whatever was going to happen has already done so, it would seem, so it may not matter anymore (except... shouldn't others attempt to learn from these mistakes to avoid similar from continuing to happen again?).

Sounds about right to me. I'm not a toxic alpha-male, nor a proper Karen female, all I know is that regardless of what they say I'm actually

South Bank of the Rubicon

Bold of you to presume that they would think of that before doing so!

@mighty_orbot@retro.pizza

What I mean is, the link in a Lemmy community when viewed from a Lemmy instance works just fine. So it's not broken at that level.

I can't speak to how it comes across to Mastodon, or your particular method of access to that, as you showed in your screenshot. In general, instances running the Mbin software seem to work better to access both Lemmy and Mastodon, but overall communication between Mastodon and Lemmy seems not perfect, as you said.

I'm not sure if you'll get this reply @mighty_orbot@retro.pizza, but here's the link visible from Lemmy itself: https://tuta.com/blog/digital-fingerprinting-worse-than-cookies.

Your method of accessing this Lemmy community seems not to be working on your side somehow. You might try a different app - I've never used Mastodon so I don't know what might work.
