  • Folks like you and the hundred other people also "just asking questions" or playing devils advocate" and expecting trans people to engage in a debate as to whether or not we actually deserve equal rights is exactly why this shit never works.

    It's interesting to you because it's purely intellectual. To the person having to endlessly argue that they do in fact deserve equal rights, it's a shit fucking experience that we actively seek to disengage from when possible, because it's all around us, all the time.

  • You see, I’m an anarchist. I trust in the power of people to self-organize, self-regulate, and self-police. I am philosophically opposed to whole instances making the call to defederate from another no matter how Nazi or capitalist that instance is.

    That's great, but it's not for everyone. What you're saying here is that when bigots appear, every member of the minorities they target needs to individually block the troll, which they can only do after they've been exposed to the bigotry, and which doesn't help them at all in the future when the troll moves to a new throw away account.

    Counter intuitively, what you're asking for is exactly how you create spaces that actively discourage diversity.

  • FediDB has stopped crawling until they get robots.txt support

  • Yep!

  • Gotosocial has a setting in development that is designed to baffle bots that don't respect robots.txt. FediDB didn't know about that feature and thought gotosocial was trying to inflate their stats.

    In the arguments that went back and forth between the devs of the apps involved, it turns out that FediDB was ignoring robots.txt. ie, it was badly behaved

  • Big uptick for us at bhzon recently, but a degree of magnitude less than this

  • Nancy Mace repeatedly shouts anti-trans slur in House hearing: 'I don't really care‘

    Jump

  • You’re free to argue for the normalising of slurs people level against you. I won’t stand in your way. But again, you don’t get to decide that slurs used against other people should be normalised, when the impact of those slurs isn’t felt by you.

  • Unless you’re trans, that isn’t your call to make. You don’t get to decide that it’s ok for people other than yourself to be exposed to slurs. Stay in your own lane.

  • The key word there was paper. As opposed to plastic, which is what they use for notes in Australia...

  • I didn't think that could happen just from licking the notes!

  • I said paper currency, not currency! I’ve handled plenty of cash, it’s just not made of paper

  • I see plenty of content from people I don't follow because people I do follow have boosted it

  • Interesting. I feel like that might be less of an issue for the microblog fediverse though? It doesn't have the same problem with content generation

  • A nazi sympathising president was voted in, because the overton window has shifted sufficiently to the right to allow that to happen.

  • The US has a nazi sympathising president, backed by a billionaire who gives nazi salutes in public. So I don't agree that saying the US is to the right of most of the world is incorrect.

  • I'm not saying that if you don't want to destroy capitalism that you're not left. I'm saying that the perspective that reddit itself was "definitely left of center" is not a widely shared perspective, and if you believe that reddit of all places was left of center, then lemmy, which actually is left of center, is going to feel very left of center.
