- Comment on If every accusation is a confession, the “woke mind virus” panic was a clear-cut admission of an existing opposite-ideology virus that's making many people very mentally ill 17 hours ago:
I’ll do you one better. The rich convinced the people that the fundamental nature of reality is both objective and knowable, and that it generally agrees with white people’s existing cultural biases.
And they convinced white people to spread their idea of reality, because believing in a different reality (or unreality) is some kind of moral crime.
And that’s why people hate schizophrenics, for struggling to see reality. That’s why they hate trans people, for ignoring what cis traditions see as real. That’s why they hate abolitionists and suffragetes and socialists. That’s why they hate muslims and indigenous and pagans and twospirit. That’s why they hate anyone who thinks differently than they do. For not conforming to their moralist idea of objective reality.

That guy is kind of annoying. I don’t like the way he defended the monarchy

Here on MULTIVERSE there’s a user settings field that lets you hide posts in communities with certain words in the name. Just put “news” in and you won’t see any communities with news in the name. You can also block individual communities.
- Comment on 1 day ago:
Yeah, I was editing the code yesterday and realised we were both wrong. What it actually does is prevent the automatic bulk federator, which is a tool only admins have, from fetching those communities. It doesn’t affect the manual community fetcher, which is what users use. So it doesn’t limit user capabilities, only admin capabilities for automation. Also, the commit you linked is super out of date, the code is very different now.

I wonder if they mean the genocide-denying lemmy admin or the transphobic lemmy admin. It’s easy to mix those two guys up

I recommend MULTIVERSE, the anarcho-antirealist PieFed server. We have a karma system the same as Reddit, which you’re used to, and we don’t do any extra processing of the score. Some PieFed communities ignore karma earned on meme communities to prevent repost farming, but on MULTIVERSE, we just look at upvotes - downvotes, and unlike Reddit, your karma score means absolutely nothing for your ability to post on communities.

Actually, I like the inhumanity in SFA. So many of the extras are aliens, it’s great. I’ve had enough of Starfleet being mostly humans

No, just one purpose, the second one.

Not block. Just karma-devalue. I’m gonna rename the variable to something like “unwanted reputation sources”. If an admin doesn’t want people farming rep by posting porn, they can put porn on the list. That’s not blocking, it’s just a data filter for admin eyes only.

I used the federate remote communities page on the web UI, but I could also have typed the ! notation into a comment. I didn’t try using the search to find it, but I don’t think it would have worked. When I used the federation machine two weeks ago, I only grabbed communities over a certain size on certain instances. MULTIVERSE has to be told to look for smaller communities.
Still, communities like femcelmemes and dankchristianmemes and lemmyshitpost (shit is also on the list) were picked up by the community federation machine with no tinkering.
So here’s what the code does. That list you found, of the seven_things_plus, it’s Rimu’s idea of “low effort communities”. As an admin, when I click on a user, I can see their “reputation”, which shows if they’ve been getting lots of downvotes or lots of upvotes. And I also have a checkbox that says something like “ignore reputation from low effort communities”. It’s designed to prevent karma farming. Rimu designed it so if a robot posts a lot of memes to 196 to farm karma and then starts posting ads for RAID SHADOW LEGENDS, I have the option of ignoring the meme reputation and still seeing that the bot isn’t contributing anything of value. But I have the checkbox turned off because I like memes.
This week I’m gonna try making a PR to change that list’s name to something more descriptive and make it configurable by admins. I’ve never contributed to PieFed before so we’ll see if I can understand enough of the code to do it. Wish Me luck.

Try !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com from MULTIVERSE again, I just subscribed to it. You can’t manually trigger federation if you don’t have an account on MULTIVERSE. Thanks for the recommendation, I definitely want piracy on My instance. But I won’t be subscribing to the Musk community, I’ve had enough of that Nazi.
By the way, I use capitalised pronouns in all three grammatical persons.
And there’s no block on memes or piracy or the space pedophile. I can tell you what that code actually does if you ask. It doesn’t block federation to the communities.
- Comment on 3 days ago:
Okay so I actually read the code just now, unlike you, and now I know what that list is for. It’s not a ban. You wanna hear what the list is for?
- Comment on 3 days ago:
Woah, I see lots of posts on !memes@lemmy.world, and some of them have more than a thousand upvotes. I guess there’s no hardcoded bans on meme communities. You must have misunderstood the code.
- Comment on 3 days ago:
Memes is a banned url, huh? Okay, let’s test this scientifically. After I make this comment, I’m gonna go to !memes@lemmy.world and see if I get any posts.

Nobody can solve homophobia overnight but people can make safe communities for queer kids on the internet. And that’s a good thing. We need to look after the next generation. We need to show up for them if their parents won’t.
The AIDS crisis caused a generation of queer people to grow up without their community elders. We’re still feeling the ramifications of that in the community. I don’t want a repeat of that. The kids need online role models.
- Comment on Is there any Fediverse project aimed at creating a safe space for kids to interact within? 3 days ago:
Ah, well… No. I can understand how that opinion makes sense from a cishet perspective, but the internet has been a game changer for queer people. You do not want a generation of kids in conservative areas having nobody to talk to.
And when it comes to otherkin and plural kids, forget it. Social media bans are already scarring people and reifying traumas. We have a soaring rate of youth suicidality here in Australia https://www.suicidepreventionaust.org/reckless-haste-rushed-legislation-on-social-media-ban-risks-harm-to-young-australians/

The only reason the human species evolved language is for political organisation. Kids need politics to thrive. We have examples of kids who were raised without politics like Genie and they were severely intellectually stunted. Politics is as fundamental to the human condition as breathing.

We’re seeing technology do a lot of great things for kids. We’re seeing puberty blockers and vaccines save lives. We’re seeing kids with no adults they can trust find community on the internet. We’re seeing kids spread a message of hope and resilience and care for the environment across the world. We’re seeing renewable energy heat their homes and feed them. We’re seeing electric wheelchairs gives kids with no legs mobility. We’re seeing assistive speech devices give kids with auditory deficits a voice. We’re using cochlear implants and eyeglasses to let kids see and hear.
Technology is so great for kids. I would not want to raise a child without modern technology. Hell, without modern antibiotics and disinfectants and vaccines, it’s even odds they die before their first birthday.

Issues surrounding queer rights are deeply political, and also very important to expose to developing minds. Young people need to know about gay, bi, ace, trans, nonbinary, and intersex identities so they can accept and advocate for themselves. Hiding information on gender dysphoria from teenagers who are going through puberty is abuse. And kids also need to be aware of the discrimination and legal challenges they can face as a queer person, so they can make an informed choice about whether and when to come out of the closet. They also need opportunities to advocate for themselves online and to comment on current events, so that their voices are heard by the people in power. We cannot let adults completely control the narrative on issues like puberty blockers, we need to hear from children who are living these stories.

Raising children without involving them in politics is terribly cruel. Children are the future and will need to live in the world we create, so they’re the most important people to involve in the political decision making process. Greta Thunberg knows that.
