  no worries. I have had auto formatting messing up my things and I was not even gracious enough to fix it for the people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The crusade against Lemmy devs, lemmy.ml, and so-called "tankies"⁩ ⁨⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah im on piefed now mostly due to features like that. pretty much everything is there except the bidirectional and the devs are pretty active and seem to talk regularly about improvements so things have come to it that did not occur to me but im estatic about. just recently it was a setting to not have things in your feed that you already read which I am just loving. I pretty much don’t have to read looking at new now because everythig I read goes away and if there is no new stuff then old stuff will show. which I really like.

  I mean the lawsuit thing is laughable and 100% not possible. I seriously think it weakens your statements. Especially given they are so long to begin with. Best to be as concise as possible (and yeas, I know, as does anyone who knows me in this media, im being a huge hypocrite with that statement).

  As far as defederation I personally am not big on it but I get why it exists and its going to be a conversation. Personally I would rather not have it at the instance level and want the software to allow individuals to be able to block at every level. I don’t like lemmy.ml or lemmy.world and I would like to be able to block everything that comes from it. I don’t like a community and I can block that. Individual same. I personally would like blocking to be two way. If I am not having anything to do with something I would prefer it to not get my content as well as not seeing theirs. I additionally like other things like blocking web urls for posts that are links so I don’t have to see things from faux news or news nation or such. That being said (im into that phrase today I guess) it a fantasy ideal of mine and currently things don’t work that way and there are bigger world things that might not make that possible. One, ironically given my first paragraph, is law. I completely understand an instance defederating because another instance might have posts that could get them into legal trouble. Something like child porn. Further I can understand instances that are so diametrically opposed to defederate from each other. An instance thats put up for gay folks may not want to federate with one that is about how great nazism is. Again I really wish users could be the control point and the bidirectional is key so that people can realize just how unpolular their thing is when not only is no one seeing their content but they are also not getting content. But yeah defederating can be a slipperly slope and should not be done casually. I have found most people are not super gung ho to do those in general although in specific instances you can get cheerleaders for a specific one.

  As I have said Im not into communism and have not been banned from the whole instance so far. Honestly I don’t find being banned as all that bad of a thing. I have often compared the federation to going out in meatspace, at least in the way I want to interact with it. Being banned just means that space is not for me and I will go hang someplace else. Honestly I find having posts removed as more insulting. One reason I have the interactions I did with cm0002 is because someone at a .world instance removed a post I did of my daily comic and for me that was just totally unacceptable so I started posting the .ml equivalent community instead.

  Ok. So I had a similar initial experience to you initially but I am slightly left and libertarian of center (real center not the us overton window thing). I had the convo which happened when someone said to hit him up as I just assumed he was a bot from his behavior. I have heard all the anti tanky retoric but while I don’t go for communism I have by and large treated fine on the communities (the only thing I encountered was being banned from a community for “supporting” landlords but hey I got banned from another instance for using a term I might consider crass but otherwise common for it being considered a slur so to me its all a sensitivity issue). I am getting quite sick of blocking his alts and his motivations are not exactly good. That being said its laughable to use the term liable in a largely anonymous online setting like this. That being further said it is a problem but i not sure what to do about it.

  I will do the thing I should and break this apart a bit. Anyway I just want to add a bit of my own experience as I think it adds a bit more to how his behavior is problematic. I asked if he was looking to post the comic I post daily and he said no. I asked if he would as I would stop posting if he was diligent about doing it but he said not he only crossposts and can’t be bothered to go out of his way to do it himself. I had experimented before when I thought he was a bot and found what I posted was crossposted within the hour but would not get posted if I did not post. At one point I screwed around a bit to try and poison his cross posts and this is really funny. He would go through all the work even if I did not post the link. I was posting comments about the comic for the day and talking around it and he would go and get the url and do the post properly. But only if I posted something! I mean it was kinda funny sad. I mean sad that he was this way. I sorta felt sorry for him. Anyway I could not keep it up and went back to posting in a standard way. Since I just block his alts as I see them. It is problematic but I honestly don’t know how we can deal with people that have mental problems. I have a brother who lives in a halfway house and you feel a bit bad about people he may interact with in a typical day but he has just enough ability to function and his issues are not really his fault as he is sick. I like the idea of not allowing disparaging but its a slippery slope. Discussions need to be made about defederation and at what point discussion is disparaging could be hard to say. I could see maybe a rule like that which is exempt in defederation threads.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2025, Week 47]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So I always leaned toward fantasy and sci fi with anime. I mean honestly for most media. I watch some slice of life and enjoy it but it was sorta a lesser. Im starting to realize though that the fantasy and sci fi that has a slice of life feel is what I like more. Like friren or such. As opposed to this guy fights this guy every episode. So I guess what im saying is I like slice of life more than I gave it credit for. I like this one about a tall athletic girl who basically is super concious of her size in relation to femininity. This has sorta rearranged my priority now as I always like fantasy over sci fi. So its like fantasy/sliceoflife, scifi/sliceoflife, sliceoflife, fantasy/simple, scifi/simple. Sorry I can’t think of what to call the writing style where the characters don’t have as much depth so used simple.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah I have a history with this guy who I thought was a bot but he responded back. apparently he just acts like a bot. Like his purpose in life is to post and he posts with wierd agendas rather than just because he is sharing things he likes. Sometimes people ask how many people you block and I always have to say how many of the blocks are like the same persons alts. as someone said he would just move to cm003 so for now im glad he is staying in a pattern so that I can just block right away.

  I just have no perspective into things like this. The only social media I am on is linkedin which is going to be hard not to be on till im homeless and facebook which is about a sorta email alternative for people I know who want to get a hold of me and some groups that use it as the virtual space. Which reminds me that I need to do my kinda weekly check of facebook to see if someone is trying to contact me or if the group has an update.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK about the French Republican Calendar⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Holy crap this is what I wanted. at least four of the intercalary days should be the solstice and equinoxes. and I wanted the weeks to be 5 weeks of 6 days per month with every month starting and ending on the same day. I would be tempted for the fifth and sixth intercalary to be after the winder solstice and call the fifth new years and the sixth one leap day or something. I figure thats sorta the main holiday time anyway.

  Our discussions go on for some years because we will need to save to get to the point of replacement. Its more like. Gee the car is getting up in years. They sorta ruined the model so we have to start thinking about what we would want for a replacement. We need to carve out time to do some test rides of possible models.

  It does not take a constitutional scholar to understand due process and illegal search and seizure. Especially when its being blatantly done across the country. One of the things I realized as todays reality had me looking over the bill of rights on a regular basis is I sorta now think they may have been ordered most controversial to least. ie you see a lot of argument around what exactly is free speech but not so much on rights being limited to only whats spelled out in the constitution or that if a power is not specified for the federal government its reserved for people and the states.
