Good riddance, one less pedophile instance to worry about.

servers that will perma-ban you if you don’t post for a week

Citation Fucking needed.

Yeah the amount that it’s offensive is dependent on the context, but that’s really true of any descriptive term. In those contexts it’s the insults or animosity that determine offensiveness, not the descriptive terms.

I.e. “those dirty fucking cyclists” in this phrase which would be offensive to cyclists it is the insult and the animosity that make it offensive, not the descriptive term itself.

Obviously it’s different when you use actual slurs to describe the person but in the situations described with use of cisgender that usually isn’t the case (there are slur uses of cis but they’re rare and not used much, therefore have low recognition).

I find it strange that many people here are against this when the alternative is a surgical treatment that often can’t be easily reversed, and even when it is, often lowers the likelihood they will have a kid.

Chemical solutions are way better in that regard because if they are done right they don’t damage any tissue and their affects are temporary.

Cis isn’t a slur the same way trans isn’t a slur, they are words to describe those particular gender identities and/or gender modalities.

I’ve heard it used in hostile contexts but I’ve also heard trans used in similar contexts as well. That doesn’t make these words slurs, they are descriptors used in a context that is hostile.

Also ways to disable the call recording prompt they forced into it. They force that even in one party regions where you can record your own calls without needing permission from the other person.

I think they’re trying to argue that transgender women aren’t real women and that respecting them and allowing them to use spaces that align with their gender identity is endangering women.

That’s how their comment reads to me, the way they dismissed the meme gives off those vibes.

Mastodon.social had a whole thing a while back where they had NDA meetings with Facebook in regards to threads federation.

It’s later come out that they are censoring Palestine content on their platform.

So yeah people who often push for Federation with bad actors like Facebook are very often bad actors themselves.

Thankfully Lemmy.world hasn’t been pushing any pro-Israel content, or censoring Palestine support, at least not yet (hopefully never).

Could always try reaching out to @nm@veganism.social as they’re the person credited as the creator on the bottom of the page.

I don’t think that really makes sense because revenge porn is technically porn and it’s not consensual.

So I would disagree calling something porn doesn’t imply consent, it merely describes sexually explicit material.

Probably but they certainly don’t want you to know that and almost certainly will say that you can’t.

Neither did Mastodon.social or Mastodon.online, though honestly I’d recommend people steer clear of those instances when signing up for a different reason, they’re also very widely blocked or limited by a lot of servers due to issues with spam and moderation. Ironic that these instances are already too big to effectively moderate, yet threads is bigger and also way worse (see link in other comment about their moderation issues) and yet people still want to federate with them.

I don’t think it’s accurate and actually a bit disingenuous to lump WordPress and Flipboard together with Facebook/Threads, because these entities behave drastically differently, Flipboard and Wordpress are sharing their content with others on the Fediverse (plus wordpress is hosted software, people can run their own versions of it independently) without trying to compromise and manipulate users, Facebook is trying to recruit Fediverse users onto their platforms, that’s why they’re doing one-way Federation and banning Keywords related to Fediverse related platforms. To say “iT’S All cOrPOrATe” is ignoring these key facts, which is why I say it seems disingenuous.

Bad instances are going to be a struggle always, that’s just the nature of a federated network, there will always be bad actors, compromised nodes, and malicious users that we have to deal with, that’s never going to end no matter what happens. Even if it becomes infrequent it’ll still always happen.

They also manipulated the modlog on their site to not differentiate between removed by mod and removed by admin. So even When something is removed by Dessalines or Nutomic it’ll still show as moderator and not admin in the mod log.

Of course they didn’t, they’re just reactively replying to comments that trigger them hoping that the people they reply to also get triggered. They are a troll.

Paradox of tolerance, if you tolerate the intolerant then tolerance quickly goes extinct.

Yeah it’s a very common misconception, I find it weird that people are still having it though when 0.19 is widely available.

Maybe they’re just saying it as a way to be dismissive of the issue, this kind of stuff happens often when people report or call to attention malicious instances or malicious users.

Btw you are also free to block any instance yourself.

Not how the instance blocking feature works. it’s a common misconception because people don’t read the docs and just assume it does what they think it does. From the News Section on Join-Lemmy:

Users can now block instances. Similar to community blocks, it means that any posts from communities which are hosted on that instance are hidden. However the block doesn’t affect users from the blocked instance, their posts and comments can still be seen normally in other communities.

It’s not an alternative or replacement to defederation, not even close. I’m really surprised this misconception still persists even after widespread adoption of 0.19.x across the Lemmy network.

I found a decent amount of right-wing trolls on ml also. Though the majority hang out on other instances because ml does silence the more extreme alt-right talking points.

Right there with you, I’ve actually found that it very often is the case.
