Atheistic Satanist - justice, compassion, science.

Helltræf - We are a nontheistic antifascist anti-bigotry Satanic organisationContra Odium - Antifascist/antibigotry extreme metal radio show The Devil's Library - Podcast of atheistic Satanists discussing booksDevil's Discourse - Podcast of atheistic Satanists talking about existence from a Satanic perspective

  • Looking for recommendations for a conversation style podcast

    Jump

  • Sorry for the self promotion, but I'm part of a group of atheistic Satanists who operate a podcast about books and reading called The Devil's Library - its literally 4 friends talking each month about a particular book we agreed to read - bit like a book club I guess. It does skew horror/fantasy/scifi heavy I guess.

  • I walked outside and owls were hooting. Why do they hoot?

  • They're not what they seem.

    How can I create or start my own community on here

    Jump

  • According to a two year old post Voyager can't create Communities. You can get around this by visiting your instance (lemmy.world) and logging in via a web browser.

  • UK government starting to think about leaving X

    Jump

  • I'm no fan of Starmer, even less of the OSA but Grok is literally producing deepfake CSAM and other non consensual images. The UK government, like I would hope the vast majority of people, think that's appalling and don't want it to happen. They asked X/Musk to stop Grok producing non consensual deepfakes and all they did was limit its availability to paying subscribers - essentially making the creation of deepfake CSAM a premium service. All Musk really demonstrated is that X can act swiftly, despite the numerous times it said it can't, but doesn't want to deprive its paying users of the ability to create CSAM.

    It's totally insane to me that this is being framed, by US Republicans as a free speech issue but I guess a country that can murder a woman driving a car is fucked up in plenty of other ways too.

  • Looking for Castopod opinions/experiences

    Jump

  • Could you DM me a link too please? I've got no issues paying for something that makes my life easier!

  • Looking for Castopod opinions/experiences

    Jump

  • Yeah, things going wrong is a concern. From the very brief look I've had at the repo, it looks like PHP and a standard MySQL/Maria DB runs Castopod so I'm hoping that side of things would be minimal and similar to self-hosting a WP instance.

    The VPS side, I'm reasonably OK with. I've been running static sites for a few years with zero issues so far but I am less familiar with this side of things.

    In terms of bandwidth, based on (basic) stats up until now I would guestimate we have about 100 downloads per month and each episode is approx 90-100mb in size so the package I have my eye on, which offers 24TB bandwidth per month should easily cope with that.

    Thanks for the info, much appreciated.

  • What principles you wish to see social networks (or the fediverse) adopt in their design?

    Jump

  • For the threadiverse in particular I'd add transferable user created Communities (between instances).

  • Is there any unedited conversation podcast you actually recommend?

    Jump

  • Apologies for pushing stuff I'm involved with but The Devil's Library fulfils that criteria - it's a book related podcast with myself and fellow atheistic Satanists talking about books (nothing to do with Satanism, just ordinary fiction). No ads, no sponsors. It is very lightly edited just to improve audio quality and eliminate the odd moment when we talk over each other but other than that, what you hear is what we've said.

    It is mostly also available on PeerTube but the last couple are missing as the instance we're on has been struggling a bit, we're trying to get it sorted in the new year.

  • At your age, what surprises you the most about yourself?

    Jump

  • I am almost constantly amazed that, given how I lived up to the age of 40, I am somehow still alive. Conversely, I am appalled that I have survived to see the resurgence of fascism.

  • Would you pay for online services like search and email if they offered a better experience than Google?

    Jump

  • For email, yes. For search, not until the subscription engines like Kagi go open source (maybe Kagi are and I just missed it but I can't see a link to a repo on their website).

    I have no objections to paying for a service but I am long past just trusting software. As for kagi in particular, $10 (plus tax) per month for unlimited search is a ridiculous price.

    How do wealthy young and women stay safe at night?

  • I think I'm probably more interested in the train of thought that lead to you wondering such a very specific thing.

  • Lots of assumptions in this thread that the concept of 'religion' is interchangeable with 'theism'. It isn't. There's quite a few large religions that are, or can be practised, in a nontheistic way including Buddhism, Hinduism, Taosim and Jainism. There's even a branch of Quakerism that is nontheistic.

    Wider definitions of religion exist than simply 'belief in a supernatural deity/deities', including my own - that of modern atheistic Satanism.

    In terms of bigotry - being shitty to whole groups of people based on their belief in a non-existent being feels weird to me. Being shitty if they then use that belief to justify their own bigotry is not weird and is called activism. Or to put it another way - if someone believes in a god and prays in a church and makes no comments that support the infringement of other peoples rights to exist and live their lives as they want to then that's totally fine by me.

  • Briar - secure p2p group communications

    Jump

  • Lack of audit is not great I agree. I can see from a basic web search that security is an issue but I'm not sure 'nightmare' is warranted. The lack of audit seems to be main focus of concern and I'd say thats a judgement call for each person depending on threat model. I was hoping for something more conclusive than that. Its certainly adequate for a more privacy-centric way of communicating than an app that doesn't cater for Apple users at all.

  • Briar - secure p2p group communications

  • Could you link me some resources for that? I may need something to demonstrate that to others.

  • Seems pretty similar to Jami except that it lacks the iOS and desktop clients that Jami already has.

  • Do gender roles have a stranglehold on heterosexual relationships, or does social media just make it feel that way?

    Jump

  • At the risk of sounding like a boomer - as long as you let algorithms decide what your expectations of both yourself and any potential partner are, you are hamstringing yourself. All people are more than a set of preconceived roles that a bunch of influencers decided were relevant.

    You need to date. By which I mean go outside where people are, socialise, find people you like for multiple reasons (so not just perceived attractiveness, not just wage, not just the role you think they might have) and ask them out. The worst that can happen is they say 'no thanks'. And if it takes 20 times before someone says 'yeah OK' then so be it. Its not a competition and no one is keeping score. Dating someone is literally the only way to get to know them beyond your own assumptions.

    what is my "type"? i'm into guys who look like this

    Jump

  • What an odd question.

    You clearly know you have a 'type' and can easily point out examples of that type - that being the case why on earth do you need a word for it? How does applying a word help you find more people of that type? You're not classifying a new species.

  • What is your favourite metal song?

    Jump

  • Changes literally every day! At the moment I'm loving Witch Club Satan's new single You Wildflower.

    Also (sorry for the spam), I co-present a metal radio show which plays music from explicitly antifascist and/or anti-bigotry artists called Contra Odium.
