db0 @lemmy.dbzer0.com Moreover, Bluesky already feels a bit like how social media would look if a non-TERF version of the Guardian was running it. It’s very liberal, very centrist, and very ‘don’t rock the boat too much’.
We’ll be keeping an eye on this, and for the moment we’ll be posting to both Twitter and Bluesky. We look forward to engaging with you wherever you end up.

Of course they don't mention fediverse as an option. Of course.
It's because mods in places like this sub delete their posts and centrists on /all downvote such posts in places like leftymemes.
You mean an exploit payload embedded in an image, and pwning a system parsing that image through python PIL? While there's never a 100% chance of anything, you're more likely to be struck by lightning than this coming to pass and at that point you're at more security risk at using the internet altogether.
I read most of it until I reached the point where it's a slow-burn advertisement for their own AI assistant
Why would it be a security risk?
To combar spam I'd imagine. Is there no possibility to reach and use a temporary email service or smt?

You realize however that government regulation also stifle progressive radicalism? It's why all newspapers and then radio and TV became status quo centrists which collaborated in obscuring and preventing every progressive policy from anti smoking campaigns to climate change. And that is without mentioning that regulations can be captured by the right through rich lobbyists or straight up fascist politicians. At which point the whole "regulated news" becomes a fully controlled propaganda machine. Just look at places likes Russia
We're not discussing that right now. Just about other people playing games as women. In the original situation that got you banned it's because you kept forcing the egg against the comm rules.

Or mastodon. But estabilished news media sites never mention non-VC backed solutions if they can help it.
Ye, if you hadn't posted there early on, it would be the primary reason you weren't seen. I got 20x engagement after I did with my comms
Were the communities you posted into subscribed from some of the larger instances? I had the same experience with some of my memes comms until I advertised in there so some people would subscribe to it. If nobody from an instance is subscribed to it, no posts will appear in the all tab.
Make sure you post about your new comms in places like [email protected] or [email protected]
You're literally asking for the perspective of cis people who play as the opposing gender in games. You're not discussing the trans experience.
I've played plenty of 3rd person games as male and female. If there's not an option, I did it because it's the game I want to play. If there's an option, such as in an RPG, I sometimes do it because I role play.
I don't see how it's a privacy risk since you're not exposing your IP or anything. Likewise the images are already uploaded to your servers, so there's no extra privacy risk for the uploader.
Because long hair is worth the hassle 😁

New Rule: We're not here to educate you.
Honey, new rule just dropped:
> This is an anarchist comm. You don’t have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We’re not here to teach you.
This means that comments mischaracterizing anarchism, such as conflating it with anomie or even worse, fascism will be removed and the user banned (time depends on how bad faith or trollish they appear to be). Ain't nobody got time to teach every lib in the world under every shitpost.
Likewise, if you find the memes in this comm disagreeable from a liberal or marxist perspective, realize they're not for you. Yes, we're going to be unapologetically anti-electoralist and anti-state-capitalist. Deal with it, or block the comm. We reserve the right to get rid of people who continuously start arguments about "lesser evils" and shit.

Hexbear admins decide to shut down two communities. All hell breaks loose.
Yesterday, an unexpected admin post was made announcing that hexbear would be shutting down and recreating two of their most popular communities (a): the_dunk_tank and dredge_tank. For those who are not aware, those two are some of the most notorious comms in the threadiverse which routinely cause inter-lemmy drama (disclaimer, the deteriorating relations between our instance and hexbear and my own ban from hexbear was ultimately triggered by various posts in the_dunk_tank)
The stated reason was to promote more thoughtful discussions and to prevent a white cishet mindset which was apparently promoted by the content in those comms, according to the mods and admins.
Within a day 1.3 thousand comments were made with hexbear regulars upset at this decision and discussing within.
However, before this announcement, the top admin of hexbear posted in the cross-lemmy admin matrix chat urging other admins to close down their "drama communities" as well.
Hexbears caught wind of this and quickly accused the admin of duplicity, and having other motives instead of their stated ones. The admin in question as defense admitted that it was their attempt to manipulate other lemmy instance admins and it backfired on them
After a whole day of this, the main admin decided to step away from hexbear (a) , followed by more resignations (a)
In the midst of this, people realize another old-mod had recently come back after a 3-year hiatus, and now people start suspecting some correlation. That mod makes a public post (a) before shortly after deleting their account.
There's also smaller pieces of chaos ongoing, such as one admin, banning one of their alts "as a bit" using wording that they were not aware is misgendering ("fella") which caused other hexbears to pile on. Eventually that was resolved, and admins are asked to tone down the "bit doing" during this heated period.
This "struggle session" is still ongoing, with people are asking the resigned mod to come back , and other admins unbanning accounts which were getting banned left and right(a) but it seems those popular comms still remain shut down.
In many ways, the Democrats are responsible for Donald Trump’s return to power. Let's explore why.
> Beefing up the institutions through which the fascists will enact their policies is complicity. Normalizing violence against the people that the fascists intend to target is complicity. Turning over the communications platforms via which people share information is complicity. Discouraging people from the kind of tactics one needs to fight against a fascist regime is complicity. Over the past four years, the Democrats have done every single one of these things.

I was originally planning to copy the whole post in a lemmy body, but mastodon makes it too painful to copy-paste as it truncates each link and images have to be copied manually. I also don't know if it fits in a post body. Anyway, If anyone wants to try their hand at copy pasting it in its entirety here, feel free.
Upgraded to lemmy 0.19.6 and the return of Tesseract
As mentioned earlier, I have now finished upgrading lemmy to 0.19.6 which should bring massive improvements to federations speeds and a ton of other stuff. So many thanks to all the developers who made this happen! I love FOSS!
Fortunately the upgrade took less than 10 minutes and everything appears to have gone quite smoothly.
A little while ago, I disabled mlmym as it was not working and someone in the comments suggested I re-add tesseract, as it's still under active development and compatible with the lemmy API. I had initially removed it at the suggestion of its core developer, but since it's still working, why not, eh?
So you can once again use https://t.lemmy.dbzer0.com/ to browser using the tesseract frontend. Let us know how it goes
Finally, if you appreciate this instance, please consider donating to its running costs. We're only at ~35% for covering our bi-yearly budget so we could use the support.
Will upgrade to 0.19.6 sometime today
Expect 30 mins downtime or so. You know how it is around here...
A while ago, when we set up the Haidra organization, we also developed a pretty basic website with the help of the Artbot developer (rockbandit) hosted at haidra.net. However this website remained pretty bare-bones as it not easy to maintain and the rockbandit remained busy with Artbot itself. I
