Now draw her eating pu… mpernickel bread.

I’ve got to dig out an old reddit classic for this title

“… because they are unusually susceptible to CP violation” is how that sentence continues. ^{not *that* CP, but still.}

It is atleast 50% better than Gimp 2.

Nothing about what I said is a straw-man, there are defined differences in admin level moderation which the mod team specifically stated.

Yes, there are defined differences. On blahaj, the admins are removing posts and comments that, by the mod-team’s estimation, did not violate 196’ rules. On .world, the admins promised not to.

where recently the admin team decided trolls are to be engaged with, where misogyny, transphobia, etc happens pretty regularly and doesnt “cross the line”

They adressed this in the OP, stating that the .world admin team was contacted prior and was allowing them to keep all their rules. So while .world as an instance may be as bad as you describe it here, the mod-team was planning on upholding the same rules that were upheld by the mod-team on blahaj.

Again, I’m not saying that their decision to move without consulting the community was good, far from it. But firing off straw-man arguments isn’t helping your case.

But the community at large doesn’t know what the moderators knew, so simply stating that the community agreed with the moderation of the admin team, when the community was largely to completely unaware of the differences between the admin- and the mod-team seems unjustified. Or did you know that the admins banned certain users for content that the mod team was fine with?

The issue, to me, seems to be that the community thought the admin- and mod-teams were on the same page, so the mod-team claiming that there have been differences with the admin-team, which prompted this move seemed extremely sussy. I’m not saying that the mod-team handled the situation great, or to be more precise, their move seems to be absolutely terrible, but the community doesn’t know all the facts that lead to that decision.

They will absolutely paywall an article discussing alternatives to paywalling. It’s just good business practise. No introspection on their part.

Imo it’s first past the post. When there are only two choices, it doesn’t matter how insane one choice is, as long as you’re against the other, you’ll go with the the first choice. Furthermore, the dichodomy favors ‘extremism’, while hindering nuance.

I honestly don’t understand why people are downvoting the media bias bot. From what I’ve seen, it is pretty accurate. Is it that people see the comment count go up and expect a human comment to interact with, only to be disappointed and then downvote the bot?

If so, I’d suggest Lemmy/Mbin to not could comments made by bot accounts towards the total comment count.

Don’t say the big R-word or they’ll remove your post. That’d be POLITICS! Even if it is directly related to what you’re talking about.

It certainly looks that way.

Counter argument: The maintainers could “easily” relocate to a country that is not currently conducting an invasion to enlarge its territory.

Removed by mod

Is the megathread outdated? It has entries that both don’t work anymore and were already removed in earlier versions.

In Germany, those letters come with a fine, which they can sue you over, if you don’t pay.

Honestly as a German, torrenting seems to be way too risky. Internet providers will immediately cave when they are contacted about an IP adress they control and there are multiple law firms whose only business model seems to be sending out c&d letters.

Fennec, which is a Firefox clone, and I use it because it allows (allowed) me more customization than the default Firefox.

Lemmy requires you to use ^ before and ^after a word for _this to ^work.
