Wait, THIS is what people are talking about when they say the devs are transphobic?

The dev admitting he said stupid shit in private, supports human rights for everyone, and his personal views should have nothing to do with his work?

Consider the first rule of the Lemmy code of Conduct is:

We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all, regardless of level of experience, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age, religion, nationality, or other similar characteristic.

Let’s examine that.

The points on Who’s Line don’t matter, as a rule - but they do matter because they give the rankings at the end of the show. If the points really didn’t matter, we wouldn’t know about them. “Points” wouldn’t be a subject on the show, and yet they come up at the end of every skit. One person even tallied them up. The points mattered to them, a lot.

Anyway, do you have information or were you just itching to make that quip?

As are the rules of most instances.

The name/s Adolf/Adolphe are still in use in German and French former colonies in Africa, and WW2 wasn’t that big of a deal in a lot of the continent. A lot of them had other shit going on, still do.

The internet and easy-to-access translators are more common now, leading to a further decline in the name, but in Namibia in the 1960’s? Totally understandable someone would hear/see the name Adolf Hitler without context, assume a strong German name would help their kid get by in German-Occupied Namibia, and leave it at that. Looks like it worked.

Edit: Just checked, Lemmy.Today isn’t blocked by any instances.

Last I checked .today was defederated by one instance, don’t know why. I’m open to more info.

The description and the rules are boilerplate, no bigotry or transphobia kind of thing. The admins have been helpful and responsive. I can see why conservatives would join an instance like this, but there’s nothing inherently conservative about it.

When I joined the most-visited local community was conservative, but they’re pretty tame by right wing standards. A couple of the mods posted left-leaning articles to my community, too.

I don’t pay attention to a lot of Lemmy drama unless it crosses my feed, so I could be wrong.

I joined Lemmy.today to see all the instances, they don’t block anyone. I expected chaos, but it’s richer. To be fair, I rarely browse ‘All,’ instead sticking to subscribed coms where the backwards-speaking wanderers from hexbear are more of a feature than a bug.

Now it’s my main account.

PR Edit: I meant no offense to the good people of hexbear, I’m just confused by your ways.

Got ready to read some bullshit,

Vitalik Buterin

nevermind. But damn, what a great read. I haven’t given much thought to on-chain ID in years and he lays it out pretty well. Still sounds like encrypted tokens are the way to go, but we all need to have multiple forms for it to protect anonymity.

Thalidomide, the Y2K bug and the Challenger disaster came to mind when I read the question. There’s nothing to say the person who found the flaw isn’t an expert, themselves.

I legit came here to comment about The Gods Themselves. Stellar novel. Everyone should read it.

Great points about the commercial pressures on science, cults of personality and perceived intelligence of successful people, too. Rumor has it Asimov wrote the book out of spite for another sci-fi writer who willy-nilly used an impossible isotope in his novel and did not care when corrected.

Not a spoiler: there are trisexual interdimensional trans people.

Edit: Zodiak by Neal Stephenson has a similar theme.

I cycle between high and low/no sex drive.

Open relationships work best for me. I know it’s not for everyone, but I support my partners sharing a sexual relationship with someone else while keeping a romantic one going with me, rather than fuck just to keep them happy. Sex without desire rarely makes anyone happy.

Looks like the majority of Jewish organizations consulted on this supported the Nakba exhibit, it was just the squeaky wheel who got the attention.

It’s a bold claim that a museum thought up by a famously Jewish head of a media empire to feature stuff about Jewish people and funded in part by the efforts of his Jewish sister is somehow not about Jewish people.

This is funnier if you know about the museum guides who had to censor their tours for groups who only wanted a tasting menu of human rights. To only learn about the people they think deserve rights and skip the rest, like those damned women and gays.

That sucks and I’m sorry. Did you dm the head mod? She’s said her dms are finicky so @ing her would probably get a response.

They’re not supposed to ban by default as far as I know, could have been an overzealous mod or a mistake. I get the same thing online, so I find it fucking infuriating to gender personality traits and tone. As an active poster on that sub I don’t want to see things go that way.

If your goal is accessibility, you’re taking quite a long walk to get there.

In trans-inclusive spaces we use “woman,” in reference to the gender, as opposed to female, which usually designates sex.

Like a nature documentary, for example: “The female meetkat seeks out her pack,” as opposed to “The woman meetkat hollers at the girls.”

I can agree everyone should get to enjoy equal access to the web and still believe censoring user names is nice. There’s gotta be a balance between accessibility and preventing harassment.

Have you asked OP to link the comment in the post text?

How about a transcript for the image? That way user names could stay blocked.

Probably 'cause they commented to the same thread.

I disagree.

Never said anything about morality. I said would be nice.

So you don’t have data.

As you can see, women have trouble keeping men out, too.

I’d like to see your data.
