great way to avoid the drama, but there’s a risk of false positives
I guess you don’t mind it, probably not losing anything of value

This means that liking trans women doesn’t automatically mean you’re attracted to men, so calling it gay is an oversimplification of how attraction works.
I get it. Calling it hetero would seem like an oversimplification as well though. We need more words!
Attraction isn’t really exclusively based on sex, though
I get it, but making it solely based on gender isn’t a good idea as well I believe. Doesn’t seem specific enough. Also, trans women and trans men don’t necessarily change physically, right? They can still look like their birth gender, that’s what’s throwing me off I believe.

oh sure, I’m not talking about this case obviously
I was thinking about things like epstein files not being made public and left accusing right, and right accusing left
Mass surveillance, facism, war… that happened under obama now happens with trump
Don’t have examples on left blaming right when it happens though, I was mainly saying that each side will blame the other for things they have done too, but obviously I missed the point of this post because that’s clearly not it
after re-reading it I feel dumb, I’ll strike the text. Sorry.

After a bit of research, it seems like it aims towards being based on gender and not sex, hmm
I believe I might think it’s about sex because I wouldn’t be interested in a non cisgender person, but that might only be me? I had the feeling that most heterosexual people would not be interested in trans people
- Comment on I Got This Right, Right? 3 days ago:
According to you, homosexuality is only about gender, not sex. This isn’t right and there is no consensus as far as I know. I would personally say a cis guy dating a trans woman is gay
gender and sex are not the same, for the 100th time
You’re the one inventing misgendering here

Everyone spreads misinformation to further their goals. It’s just not so obvious when it’s your side doing it. Confirmation bias
- Comment on I Got This Right, Right? 3 days ago:
The funny thing is you can rotate things around “right” -> “left” and it will still be valid

If the government says, you can’t show X content before 9PM on television that is a form of censorship
That’s according to you. Does everyone agree with that? Also, how does it compare with downvoting exactly?

I kind of see your point, but I wouldn’t say it’s censorship
- Comment on User "threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works" is banning users for downvoting his posts. 4 days ago:
Sure but it is a form of censorship

That probably wouldn’t and would obviously be vote manipulation. This situation is pretty rare and is ignored, like on YouTube, because people get bored and most people wont go out of their way to do this
Problem is: Lemmy’s algorithm is shit and doesn’t learn from our preferences. If it did, we would see less posts that we dislike
People just can’t stand being disliked. Should we ban people disliking crypto posts? Because damn most of my posts are disliked based on people hating and spreading lies about crypto just because they dislike it

I personally don’t see votes as a way to moderate, they mean much more to me

Can you blame censorship when you’ve voluntarily decided to participate in a network that has a voting for visibility system?

I am free to disrespect them or their opinion, but I respect their freedom of speech
Everyone is free to downvote me. This is not Reddit, having a lot of downvotes doesn’t ban you, unless you’re in a shitty instance

Because that’s social media we’re talking about. It’s an algorithm. There’s no central authority. The visibility of a post is chosen democratically and freely.
Censorship is removing and banning content. Censorship isn’t bad anyways when there’s a good reason (ex: hate speech)
Anyone that wants to see said content can still freely do it. Censorship would be abusive moderation, like banning someone because they don’t agree with you, essentially removing their freedom of speech

I personally prefer to downvote what I don’t agree with. Why would I want to promote a point of view I don’t agree with?

I don’t think it matters
You could deploy a container and not know what DB is used

It will still be relatively niche, people don’t want to seed for hours and also don’t want to pay
- Comment on YouTube is now flagging accounts on Premium family plans that aren't in the same household 2 weeks ago:
I thought you wanted videos to only be hosted through peers, without any server storing them, just like torrents
I said that would mean most videos would die
- Comment on YouTube is now flagging accounts on Premium family plans that aren't in the same household 2 weeks ago:
I was reacting to this:
Realistically, a quick death is probably a fortunate way to save resources if a video can’t gain traction from being useful or entertaining.
- Comment on YouTube is now flagging accounts on Premium family plans that aren't in the same household 2 weeks ago:
The vast majority of videos don’t do well so… that means this solution won’t work for most people
- Comment on YouTube is now flagging accounts on Premium family plans that aren't in the same household 2 weeks ago:
Just like Netflix
- Comment on YouTube is now flagging accounts on Premium family plans that aren't in the same household 2 weeks ago:
Seeing the number of dead torrents, it’s highly likely that many videos will quickly die as well
But it would be nice to have a way to seed.
Problem with all federated platforms: which one should people pick? Most instances don’t federate with others

But dealing with timezone conversions and daylight savings is a pain. Like if you make a recurring task every day BASED on the user’s timezone, it’s annoying
