@BraveSirZaphod I mean, if they’re not, then that means that they’re fine with hate speech and run away bigotry, and to be honest, that’s not a truth I want to face
@emi What worked best for me was going in to Sephora and getting a makeover there. She didn’t know how to deal with trans features and did an awful job, but I walked away from it with a lot of useful techniques that let me start experimenting in a meaningful way. It also meant that I could watch short tutorial videos and make sense of what I was watching
Kebin is too similar to Kbin
That’s why it’s good!
@julian_schwinger You can upvote it :)
Not really. I used to mod /r/brisbane, but basically stopped interacting with reddit around 6 months ago. I’ve been on the fediverse and threadiverse ever since!
I mean, to me, it sounds like it was written by someone who doesn’t deal with marginalisation in any real way. No unique selling point? The fact I can exist here without being constantly harassed by bigots that have a green light from a mega social media platform that doesn’t give a shit about me is a pretty strong selling point. Strong enough that having experienced it, I will never return to a centralised social media platform that isn’t aggressively supportive of minority rights.
@xray I wear pride gear, because my queerness often isn’t visible to people otherwise, and I want the other closeted and scared queer folk out there to know that they’re not alone. So I tell the world who I am loudly and proudly
@Matte I haven’t found that. I mean, luck is definitely involved of course, because it has dice, but with good preparation, you can mitigate the luck elements, and it becomes more a game of longer term planning than make or break based on a single roll.
That being said, Rallyman Dirt also has an interesting change that addresses part of that. The lead player rolls different white dice to the other players, with a slightly higher chance of failure. So being in first place for too long increases your risk, but giving up first place makes it hard to be certain you’ll get it back.
As an instance admin, the instances that I block are explicitly ones that I don’t want my users to be able to subscribe to for any reason because they are full of bigotry and hate.
If I have a user that really wants to subscribe to a blocked instance, then chances are my instance is the wrong one for them.
@beto It might be a good idea to not do that thing that happened with Mastodon, where everyone thinks the Mastodon is the Fediverse. There is more to the #threadiverse than just lemmy!
tbh, there is no such instance. Not blocking any other instances is often a reason to be blocked by other instances.
An instance that blocks no one is in effect a “free” speech instance that prioritises the right to be bigoted over the need to provide safe spaces for folk. And that means that instances that value the need for safe spaces over “free” speech are going to block the instances that don’t block anyone else as a means of creating and maintaining that safe space.
@Generator And just like Mastodon and the fediverse at large, after initial growing pains, we will find a way
@SafetyGoggles The difference between those two is the moderation policies of the instance. Beehaw doesn’t federate with the same instances that lemmy.ml does, and has an explicitly more inclusive and less generalist approach. They both cover the same ground, but you couldn’t just merge them.
Having said that, it would be nice to see a user level feature that lets end users combine communities in to one “virtual” community in their interface.
@blob42 kbin has the ability to aggregate content in to a community by hashtag (in a distinct tab) and it’s incredibly useful. I think lemmy could really benefit from something similar
I don’t think they’re even close to ready, but, somehow, we’ll muddle through
@thedavemiester Well, this is the first time the fediverse has been how I first learned about a local disaster, so that’s something…
