local-only comms landed in Lemmy so our comms for marginalized folks don’t have to deal with the influx of people randomly driving by with soft bigotry. we also got controls for whether DMs are federated or not, which also helps.

oh interesting. I wasn’t aware of that. thanks!
scaling sort thing? do you have a link describing what you mean?
that’s hard to do without exposing victims of CSA to it. better I think to recommend people go there if they need a place to talk about it.
fuck you, being forced to deal with people who would kill me given half the chance is not something I will ever do. I will oppose them by any means necessary, regardless of what the broader society thinks of such.
People using words other people don’t like that aren’t necessarily used in a hateful way, some people don’t want to see that some don’t care.
Was on a gmod server before that had a total free speech rule where people would say horrendous shit to be edgy but one day they banned one slur for one group of people specifically which felt kinda weird
nah, slurs 100℅ deserve a ban. miss me with this shit. Im also shocked, shocked that you defend the use of slurs. I wonder why you’d use a website like that
Furries, lot of people don’t like them but also don’t think they should be globally silenced unless they are actual zoophiles
lmao it’s definitely impossible to make the case that a group of largely queer people deserve protection - I’ve definitely never made this case at length and vigorously on this website because it’s impossible to do without uhhh checks notes .
hexbears
lmao, I and most other hexbears don’t give the smallest shit if liberals defed us because we’re rude. we carved out a place for ourselves and made a happy and comfortable home for 3 years without federation - we recruit offline, into orgs, not online. lemmy is a place for us to decompress and commiserate, not a means or an end.
getting banned is silencing them, fool. it prevents them from recruiting more people. they can talk to themselves day in and day out but without fresh meat they can’t grow. the lesson of the last decade is that deplatforming 100% works. your free speech bullshit is exactly how nazis cover for themselves. liberals clutching pearls about muh just provides them a defense.
free speech for who, for what purpose, and at what cost? do you ever stop and think about the people harmed by the presence of the people you’re JAQing off for?
everyone has a line past which they won’t tolerate “free speech” – if they were advocating for the murder of the people you love 0% chance you’d be pulling this shit. the problem is you feel safe and comfortable in the knowledge that they don’t threaten you. you’re comfortable with the bigotry, shielded by the bottomless chasm of your ignorance. wake up call: if they seize power, they will hurt you and everyone you love, just as much as the rest of us. you’re not fucking safe.
“free speech except these people” viewpoint requires some objective point of reference for what’s acceptable
it extremely doesn’t. communities have standards – they get to decide.
It’s fairly obvious to 99% of people when it’s things like Nazis and pedos but it’s not always as clearcut with more controversial topics
I’d extremely like to know what more controversial topics you have in mind
learn Haskell, write better code
it’s probably not code golfed and the type signatures probably weren’t elided. because otherwise I’d expect it to be above javascript.
it’s just active user metrics, otherwise hexbear is top of the charts
hexbear has ~1k users per month. we top the charts in comment volume but not users.
saying we should take a nazi seriously on their point that the asiastics are devilish is nazi apologia - Zenz isn’t merely an apologist, he’s straight up a christofascist.
this is deeply funny because they’re an anarchist user who’s normally criticizing China. you’re just so far to the right that they have the intellectual honesty to criticize your position.
nazi sympathizers don’t get good faith because they’re excusing people who want to wipe many of us from the face of the earth. I don’t care about how right their opinions are - they’re my enemies.
I don’t want Google to have my info. the ads are secondary.
frustration, usually, hoping against hope that the answer is relevant.
I use stackoverflow for minutes at a time and it almost never has answers to the questions I need answers to. if it has an answer, it’s usually “you can’t do that”. reference docs are 100% of the time more helpful. so no, I don’t think so.
the owners of SO make far more than the benefit provided to any single dev. if that were not true, they wouldn’t be in business.
yup, you got it. comms are communities, which is why it’s /c/comm_name on lemmy. an unfederated/local-only comm is only visible through the instance that hosts it. you can access it without logging in but only via the hosting instance.
e.g. people from other instances don’t need access to the instance feedback comm and shouldn’t be able to participate in internal discussions about instance policies.
