Hexbear has a bad reputation for many reasons, but I’ve never heard anyone claim that they’re anti trans. They are known for being incredibly protective of their trans members.

It doesn’t block them though does it? My understanding is that it simply filters them so that you don’t see them anymore. They’re still there doing their thing though.

Before Musk, Twitters advertising was driven by engagement, and engagement was driven by encountering things that made you angry. So they were slow to respond to anything but the most egregious cases of hatred and bigotry.

He’s mostly on nostr of all places…

Does this not address the federation issue that is causing some instances to fall ever further behind lemmy.world?

See, this is exactly the sort of thing I was talking about! :P

I’m not sure about that place… I’ve heard things can get quite animated in that community…

This is an editorial article on a moral philosophy essay site. It’s not science news

Fedipact is an anti meta pact that some instances have taken.

Blocked is instances that have blocked meta but aren’t part of that pact. Blahaj zone is one of the latter for example. We block threads because it houses hate groups. Were it to stop doing that, we wouldn’t block them, but fedipact members still would, because their concerns are to do with what Meta itself represents

I prefer Sharkey, but I’m sure that comes as no surprise :P

This article was the first time I understood that particular way of implementing nomadic identity, and it’s the first time I’ve felt genuinely excited by the idea.

My concern is that with “instanceless” nomadic identity on the fediverse is that ultimately, it would mean that instance would lose their sense of differentiation and community, and would simply be infrastructure instead, and that’s how we we end up with bluesky.

This implementation though is amazing. It lets people actively lean in to community based instances, without having to only pick one, and it gives people protection against loss of any particular instance.

I don’t see why not. And in fact, they would benefit from the whole relay thing, allowing multiple accounts on different instances to be the “same” community

Oh, now that’s fascinating, and explains some of the issues we’re having. Our hosting provider had some issues, so all of our queues were delayed. It took us a while to recover, but we got through all of the outstanding queues, except for lemmy.world, which still has a huge amount outstanding. And I’m guessing that’s because we’re processing them only slightly faster than new ones enter the queue!

Probably because in Egyptian mythology, Thoth, who was an Ibis headed deity, was the god of knowledge and wisdom, and thus Ibis became a symbol of knowledge and reason.

It’s somewhat amusing that the Egyptian Ibis is so closely related to the Australian Bin Chicken that they may actually be the same species

What do you mean waiting to migrate?

Post history migration will never be implemented. But you can already use apps to move over your subscribe lists etc.

Lemmy’s Image Problem

I see what you did there…

So, I admin a gender diverse instance. We have a zero tolerance policy on transphobia, including the “just asking questions” stuff and dogwhistles that many folk don’t recognise.

Some of those accounts will not get actioned by either community mods, or admins where the remote accounts are based, but because I get the reports on them from my users, I can ban them from my instance, which means their content will never show up in the feeds here.

We were getting them on our instance when images took more than 10 seconds to upload. It was timing out and returning that message
