I know about Hexbear and wanted to mention that it was a Hexbear user but this ironically happened just a moment after I made my own Hexbear account. I know some of the users there are extreme, particularly that user, but the community overall I find worth it.

That said I have to wonder what you mean when you say to avoid getting in trouble and to stay safe. Is there a history of people being harassed or harmed by those groups?

Yep, and it wouldn’t be very far back in my history if you want to see it. My last comment in that convo started with “ugh”. I was talking about transgender issues with someone who was extremely argumentative and kept strawmanning my beliefs so I told them in no uncertain terms that I was done with the conversation and blocked them. Later I decided to unblock them and discovered that they had replied not only to that final comment continuing to tell me I’m a bad person for their strawman interpretation of what I said, but to another comment I made in a different thread.

So this person who is actively insulting me also has the ability to follow me around and continue insulting me, and blocking them just makes me unable to defend myself.

Actual functional user blocking. I don’t want users being able to see my comments and reply to them when I have blocked them and I was totally surprised when they did.

Yes, I agree. Particularly when it isn’t just rehabilitative and is punitive.

There are fates worse than death, you’re right. But I think you would be one of the few who would prefer it to prison as it currently exists. But I think a sub point you have made is that prison is tantamount to torture, and I in some ways agree with that, which is why I say that non-rehabilitory prisons are unethical. It’s also the model in the entire US.

That is frankly a disgusting point of view. Death and non-rehabilitory imprisonment are both wrong but not because it “costs money”.

This is clearly from an incredibly privileged person, because if you understood how minoritized people are treated by the legal system you wouldn’t be arguing for more executions.

since the metal end can slide in or out by just the right amount.

OMG! I genuinely thought all the tape measures I have handled were a little broken.

My intuition would be floor 2, as it is the lowest floor to the ground that isn’t underground

The majority of those are nothing burgers. They shut down their dedicated password app when they integrated its features into the browser, they shut down their encrypted file sharing tool when they realized it was being used for very nefarious uses, they shut down Positron and it’s affiliated projects because nobody started using it over Electron… and a lot of the rest are extremely niche (like viewing websites in 3d, cool but not all that useful).

Baseball cap! Wearing it now actually. It has a mesh back and a gray front with my state’s shape on it patterned with a rainbow 🌈

Funny, did you catch the part where he projected that on Harris? He accused her of claiming to have never met Biden 😂

All it would take is supplementing hormones at several points in development so that it develops its gonads and mind the other way.

Accelerationism isn’t a good look

Oh yes I see now:

If you have the time, it appears a user in that issue is hoping for your permission to update a patch fixing this very issue!

I can understand why it is low priority, but consider that it is outside of basic feature parity with Lemmy. In all other apps (that I have tried) as well as web based frontends (again, that I have tried) the display name is used everywhere.

I for one selected my username in light of the fact that I would be able to edit the display name on Lemmy, and I find that including my pronouns (I recognize this is a niche use of the display name feature) is an easy and generally consistent way to limit confusion and frame conversations involving me.

That state of that bug is disappointing, I see now why it isn’t implemented in this app. No worries, hopefully the Ionic team will prioritize it by the time Google replaces it with a brand new version lol

Thanks for replying!

I imagine it would be just another theme option, not replacing anything else

The people who hated on Bill Nye were conservatives, and they did so because he explained concepts like Gender which they did not appreciate (i.e. does not fit into their reductionist misogynistic harmful ideology). Bill Nye is great.

Montana has Zooey Zephyr, the woman who was famously censured by the state legislature and received national coverage.
