But think of the ads we can’t play! THE ADS!

Okay, but can you back up that guarantee with sources? I want to know how likely this is, as I will be applying for jobs soon. Also, remote tech jobs, which are probably more likely to have these.

That’s funny, one of my most downvoted is also about drag, but from the other side.

Bunch of ones where I’m defending Hexbear downvoted 0 to -5, but then I found this one:

Context is something about the election. The post is deleted, so idk what the photo was of, but I was responding to something about how not voting or voting for a 3rd party makes you a Trump supporter.

gendered by placing a sticker on the door

We have that at my work, but they are still gender-neutral bathrooms when the other one is in use and someone needs to use it. You can’t really ungender-neutral those bathrooms.

Your views are quite extreme and aren’t shared by most. Interesting that you group .ml in there too. Tell me, what instances do you find amenable?

You also have the option to not react to people you believe is trolling in bad faith, and report them if you feel they are brewing the rules.

Leaving more power in the user’s control- you decide a user is a troll and the mods don’t see it that way, you block them and anyone who does want to see them has the option.

I was just correcting your misrepresentation of drag’s neopronoun. Asking someone to call you dragon fucker every time they referred to you would not be shorthand. Plus, drag’s username was dragon rider where I’ve seen drag.

Here’s the thing - who cares if someone wants to post about flat earth theories? If people like it, it will be upvoted, and if they don’t, it will be downvoted. Why remove it? That’s the point - let the users decide, not the mods. Power to the people, the mods just step in when they post 10 times in an hour about flat earth theories.

Unfortunately, you’ll have to switch to subscriptions when you sort by new.

This is not true, the neopronoun was ‘drag’. Sorry you’re so caught up on what people want to be called. 🤷

Imagine running, say, a community for vulnerable trans kids, and being forced to allow a constant influx of ‘helpful suggestions’, just so long as they’re phrased in pretty language.

What will happen is Trans kids will go over to one of the trans-friendly instances, and the .world will be where the trans defenders go to debate chuds.

Imagine, letting people decide for themselves… 😱

Wait, it was about the VEGANS again?!

I agree with this, as long as lines are drawn at the kind of conspiracy theories of “homosexuality is a mental illness”, and the like. I want to make a point that this would pertain to memes as well.

This is the time to draw clear lines, because we are deciding the tone/direction of one of the largest instance in Lemmy.

With the timing being suspiciously close to Meta’s clearly bigoted “relaxation” of the mod rules, this brings with it a bad feel, but let’s remember, the fediverse is just growing and taking shape, so this was inevitable (and many of us have been watching it unfold). But we have to remember that we shape it, unlike the corporate shit we left. Make your voices heard.

The town I live in now has not.

I needed to fill the medicine boxes for me and my partner, and I had a few bottles of medicines I just got that I needed to put in, so I’m carrying them down the stairs, one of the bottles falls out of my hand, lands like a wheel on a stair, I step on it, and I fall down 3 stairs. My butt and elbow hurt and I was so mad. 😡

This was yesterday, btw.

What was he trying to say?

Underfly

to me this just sounds like social media passing the buck to their users with no regard for accuracy.

And for free, no less!

Can you direct me to something that substantiates this? Did he write that he didn’t want to hurt anyone? From what I’ve read of his stuff, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was just that dumb.
