@hark@lemmy.world , could you maybe add a "ban reserved" or something in the title?

Every single one of the issues you’ve listed, you’ve reframed it into something different than it was. Neopronouns were never the issue, it was blahaj shielding a transphobic troll from criticism and banning people who complained about them (complained about them while using accepted pronouns, usually while explicitly saying ‘yes I’m fine using people’s pronouns’), purely because the troll cleverly decided to involve neopronouns into the issue. And then pretending that anyone who was on the “enemy” side was obviously a pronoun-hater and that was the entirety of the issue.

That's your framing of the situation.

An alternative perspective is that the "pronouns cannot relate to imaginary creatures" is gender gatekeeping.
Drag was potentially trolling, but if nobody ever took the bait, nothing would have happened.

We can all yell at him, insult him, nothing needs to be justified

People brought justifications

In some forums, that kind of thing is disallowed. If you make personal attacks or insults, you get mod action

Direct attacks are usually removed

You had your politics but you weren’t dishonestly attacking

I'm am going to be honest with you, I didn't expect you to make this kind of comments

Cool! Now accuse him of caring way too much about politics, and getting in heated debates about it like a LOSER, speaking as you are from your lemmy.ml address. That’ll make perfect sense too.

Also, not sure why it's not okay for dbzer0 to have a "our users" stance while you broadly categorize all .ml users as "losers"

I've been following things from afar.

they started jumping into among other places a 4-day-old thread to try to continue the argument.

People who use "New comments" are going to see new comments posted, whatever old the threads are. I use that filter, and I regularly comment on weeks old threads to reply to someone.

Eugene's comments on the 4-days old thread came up when you mentioned that UM was involved (whey they were not, and you know I'm not a fan of UM), and it was made by another user: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/49344640/20291854

he kept emphasizing that, like I need to treat someone different because they’re an admin, IDK, bow and scrape?

The context is

  • you making statements such as

Good fuckin’ God man. dbzer0, we love you, quit trippin’. Just relax. Not everyone you don’t like or agree with is “abusive.” ( https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/49571446/20248829 )

If you accuse an instance of power tripping, be ready to answer when they reply, otherwise it just seems to be arguing in bad faith.

Voyager or Summit? It's up to personal preference mostly, the other ones are good option too!

I had a quick look

Man, you definitely were running some major hostility towards world at one point. I’ll concede that the comment was probably overstating the point, and definitely unnecessarily hostile, but it also wasn’t unprovoked.

I'm not going to go that route again

I have an account with non drama communities (!gardening@lemmy.world and others), then one that has the meta communities (and the drama)

Sometimes I only use the first one, allows me to take a break from the meta drama

It's not perfect, but we don't have anywhere better to go.

Experimental Piefed support is now available for Voyager (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://vger.social/post/20512447

I'm excited to announce that Voyager now has experimental support for logging in with Piefed! You can try it out today on:

This will roll out to the official app stores and vger.app soon(tm), once I’m confident there are no major regressions. If you prefer not to switch to beta builds, just hang tight.

Please note that Piefed support is EXPERIMENTAL! There are still many things that don't work quite right, which I'm hoping to improve over the coming weeks.

The basics including scrolling home/all/local, viewing posts, blocking, commenting and voting should work well. However there are some known issues:

  • Can't sign up for a Piefed account in-app, only log in with an existing one
  • Subscribed communities list is empty (should be fixed soon!)
  • Inbox tab doesn't load
  • Comment search doesn't work
  • Profile upvoted/downvoted doesn't load
  • No moderation tools
  • Mark as read doesn't persist
  • Creating/editing posts is currently untested
  • ...probably a bunch of other stuff too, please let me know below!

Behind the scenes, this interoperability is made possible thanks to aeharding/threadiverse, a new library I am working on to normalize various threadiverse-software APIs. It's open source so any project use it, but it's under heavy development right now. What's cool about this is in the future, adding support for mbin, or whatever else is possible!

Again, feel free to try it out and let me know if there are any more issues to be documented and fixed.

Recently got myself a Keychron Q11, my first split keyboard, very happy with it (www.keychron.com)
 

Very noob review

  • built quality is solid
  • touches are easy to remap thanks to https://caniusevia.com/
  • the keycaps are very nice (and kind of made me realize how lower quality the one of the Anne Pro II were)

I was also lucky to got it half price (around 100€ total instead of 200€), so very happy!

The design is based on the excellent Dactyl keyboard, generated with https://ryanis.cool/cosmos/ and it runs the excellent qmk firmware. It is handwired:

and I have also made a palm support using inkscape and openscad

All printed on a reprap prusa i3 derivative.

This helps me use my computer with less pain, so I want to call out all the wonderful projects and people who contribute to them which made it possible.

Total cost? $60 aud, amortised filament ~15 bucks worth maybe? and a lot of my time haha.

Extensive passenger data has been sold to the US Government by major airline companies including Delta, United Airlines, and American Airlines, new documents reveal.

US travellers' domestic flight records, including their names, full itineraries, and financial details were sold to Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

CBP is a part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). They said they acquired the data to track people of interest's air travel.

The documents, obtained by 404 Media, showed that passenger information was sold through a data broker that major airlines including Delta, American Airlines and United Airlines collectively own.

Lemmy.film has been down for around 2 years. LW users still post there thinking that it federates, but that community is now only local.
