Think 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 :)
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 !comicstrips@lemmy.world? 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.
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
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.
For what it’s worth, I admin lemmy.blahaj.zone and I’m nearly 8 years in, and I’ve done basically everything in the post (except I haven’t done botox, but have done voice surgery).
We’re around.
And I believe Lady Autumn, the owner of this lemmy community also transitioned around the same time that I did
That thread should be a lesson in learning not to take things at face value or believing what you read.
What actually happened, is that 6 months ago, a poster that is popular in NCD posted a meme that conflates Hamas and Palestinians, and in effect blames them for their own genocide.
As a result of that post, the poster in question was instance banned from lemmy.blahaj.zone.
That’s it.
As a result of that ban, no further content from the poster in question made its way to lemmy.blahaj.zone.
Yet the mod of NCD incorrectly assumed that it was only NCD content that was being removed, and rather than investigate or contact someone from blahaj.zone to clarify, they went in guns blazing with accusations based on their own misunderstanding. And when I explained the situation, they double downed on the aggression.
And the lesson from this is that whatever else happens, some people will still walk away from this thinking that the mods description of events is true, and blaming us for their fuckup.
If they’re against our guidelines block the community or defederate; if they good under our guidelines then just leave it even if it’s “just a hair under crab”, to use a metaphor
This is literally how it works.
I’ve manually removed those groups
Your language settings are probably hiding a lot of content. You need to enable any languages you speak and also enable undetermined
And other people deliberately use all of the “come on man” and “Hey mate” and “Dude is not gendered” explicitly at trans people, because it lets them get away with misgendering. So trans people, who experience that stuff every day, can be a little sensitive when someone does that, even if they aren’t doing it deliberately.
In this case, not knowing the person, and not having access to their pronouns, the comment was fine. But once you know it’s an issue, repeating it despite knowing it’s an issue is a shitty thing to do.
It could easily have been anonymised. The conversation can happen without misgendering someone a second time around.
Literally just edit the person’s name out of the image, and boom, same discussion, but this time without repeating the same mistake
Whatever your thoughts on the original situation, you know her pronouns now, and you’ve directly reposted the thing that got you banned. This time around, you don’t have an excuse. You know that it’s an issue, but you didn’t anonymise the post, effectively sharing the misgendering with even more people
Pushing the boundaries of the question, but 40k orks! How can you not love the big green lugs?
Fricken’ dinosaurs with fricken’ sword arms.
The undersells them by a lot! That makes them sound comparable to Deathclaws in Fallout, but K’chain Che’malle scared gods!
I don’t even know if I am autistic, let alone where it diverges from my ADHD or how it differs from the experiences of other ND folk.
Not even!
