- Comment on Not federated Lemmy instances? 1 day ago:
They were running a self maintained fork of lemmy that wasn’t compatible, though I don’t know if that was the original reason
- Comment on Not federated Lemmy instances? 1 day ago:
Hexbear was the only instance with a sizable user base that used to do this, but these days they federate too
- Comment on Mastodon's federation consistency is laughably bad. 1 month ago:
What’s different about the fediverse is that I can pick an instance and know that the admins who run it will ban bigots, rather than just leaving the bigots alone, and telling me to ignore them.
That’s a pretty important distinction to me.
- Comment on PieFed, a FOSS Feed Aggregator alternative to Lemmy, but faster 1 month ago:
If you can find a lemmy trans flag theme that we can easily import, I’m all ears :)
- Comment on Mastodon's federation consistency is laughably bad. 1 month ago:
Bluesky has basically no moderation. What it has is really good user level blocking and the ability to share those block lists with others.
- Comment on The Great Migration to Bluesky Gives Me Hope for the Future of the Internet 1 month ago:
Bluesky just got major investment from a crypto bro…
It’s not flukey…
- Comment on Why are people preferring Blue Sky over Mastodon? 1 month ago:
Because it pretends to be different to the centralised corporate social media platforms

Imagine my surprise when “What could Hamas do to end the violence” wasn’t just an innocent question…
- Comment on Some explicitly single-user ActivityPub software to check out 2 months ago:
Australian/British slang. It’s a disparaging term for Americans
Starts with rhyming slang
American = Yank Yank = Tank Tank = Septic Tank Septic Tank = Seppo
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
As I said, yes, a lemmy that bans folk like you is a lemmy that is doing something right
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
“What could Hamas do to end the violence?”
Nothing else.
And I got immediately banned.
Making excuses for genocide being something that gets you banned is a lemmy I’m fine with
- Comment on Some explicitly single-user ActivityPub software to check out 2 months ago:
Seppo is a really unfortunate name…

You’re the only person to mention trans people in this thread. It’s got nothing to do with trans folk…
decided this is a hateful post based on prior comments without watching the video.
I had to watch the video to see her dog whistle.
And the whole thing about red flag/dog whistle comments is that they’re designed to seem like nothing to people who don’t recognise them. You not recognising a dog whistle doesn’t mean it isn’t one…
The fact that she shouts out another steamer that was banned from twitch for bigotry isn’t a co-incidence. It’s a red flag for a reason
- Comment on A patient gamer youtuber explaining why she only plays old games 2 months ago:
Absolutely. Sticking to the things they know and avoiding the recs is how a lot of people use Youtube. But all of the things you avoid are thrown in your face in the recs. Clickbait titles, bait and switch content, dogwhistling videos that start people down the path of ever more bigoted content (for example, the video the OP posted).
I generally don’t engage much with video content though, so I’ll just continue to ignore it
- Comment on A patient gamer youtuber explaining why she only plays old games 2 months ago:
As I’ve said three times now, I barely use YouTube and then only direct links. This isn’t that. YouTube rewards civil bigots so civil bigots are common and have big audiences
- Comment on A patient gamer youtuber explaining why she only plays old games 2 months ago:
I barely use youtube. I actively avoid it as much as possible
- Comment on A patient gamer youtuber explaining why she only plays old games 2 months ago:
She shouts out a racist who was banned from twitch for bigotry, so I’d say it’s pretty spot on as a red flag.
- Comment on A patient gamer youtuber explaining why she only plays old games 2 months ago:
Gamergate is not a very specific circumstance. It was a widespread harassment campaign involving the entire industry. This is a follow on from that movement, and any game that releases a female protagonist that isn’t soft and demure gets active push back from this group.
- Comment on A patient gamer youtuber explaining why she only plays old games 2 months ago:
YouTube, like other corporate social media and engagement platforms, thrives on anger and conflict, and pushes shitty takes higher up the recs list to get angry engagement.
So it’s more likely to be bad than good.
- Comment on A patient gamer youtuber explaining why she only plays old games 2 months ago:
she made points I have never heard about that I found interesting, like disappearing of some femininity aspects to awkwardly try to avoid sexism accusations.
These are very common talking points of gamer gate bigots. It’s a giant red flag, because the people who talk about it are bigots
- Comment on A patient gamer youtuber explaining why she only plays old games 2 months ago:
I rarely click on YouTube links. For some reason I gave this one a try. Turns out she’s bigoted.
That’ll teach me for clicking
- Comment on New data reveals thousands of Australians who own 10 rentals or more 2 months ago:
Nope. Cunt as a singular can be a term of affection. Cunt as a plural is only a positive when used with some adjectives like “crazy” or “mad”. Used without an adjective like that, it’s a harsh put down.

It’s a hoverfly. They’re bee mimics
- Comment on How do decide what language you speak living on a countries border. 2 months ago:
Yep, Iguazú. I likely felt it because my Spanish is not great, so even though I could make myself understood by Argentinians, the poor Brasilians stood no chance as I murdered Spanish in an attempt to communicate :)
- Comment on How do decide what language you speak living on a countries border. 2 months ago:
I speak a little Spanish, but no Portuguese, and my time in Brazil right near the border with two Spanish speaking countries was a challenge, because most folks there didn’t speak Spanish despite the location.
Some folks do of course, but most people I encountered didn’t have any Spanish
I have zero idea how representative that is of other borders
- Comment on All Of Apple’s Foldable iPhone Prototypes Have Visible Creases, Which May Explain The Company’s Apprehension Towards A Launch 2 months ago:
carrying a bulky Z fold phone in my pocket only to be able to have a tablet once in a while and watch a movie is not interesting enough.
It suits my needs perfectly though! You can take my folding phone out of my cold dead hands
- Comment on do ribbed condoms feel better than smooth during anal? 3 months ago:
It’s not a matter of “fixing” so much as things moving around. After bottom surgery, the vaginal canal sits between the prostate and the anal canal, so sensation to the prostate is reduced with anal sex. However, the prostate ends up sitting approximately where the “g spot” is in AFAB folk, and so is more easily accessed via the vaginal canal
- Comment on do ribbed condoms feel better than smooth during anal? 3 months ago:
It’s not so much AMAB/AFAB as vaginal canal vs no vaginal canal. A person with a prostate and a vaginal canal doesn’t get as much pressure on the prostate from anal.
