Speaking of Tom business, as mentioned elsewhere, anyone heard from Emperor? It seems he last posted about a month ago.

I haven't heard from Emperor since about the end of April. I hope everything is fine, but we do need them to submit the server bill soonish.

I originally signed up for lemmy.org.uk, but that instance disappeared randomly a week after being created. I can't remember how I discovered here, I think I just went to the instances sections on join-lemmy.org and went to the UK instance listed.

I'm not the most knowledgeable about Mastodon's APub implementation, but having a look at the Actor of that profile, it might be because it's invalid JSON-LD. Now, Mastodon doesn't actually do proper JSON-LD checks, you can follow PieFed profiles from Mastodon and they don't produce proper JSON-LD, but they do include "https://w3id.org/security/v1" in their @context, and doing a code search of Mastodon's source code does show some checks for if that's included.

Lemmy's I am familiar with and irrc it doesn't even check if @context is present.

You can enable Private Instance in your admin settings, this will mean only logged in users can see content. This will prevent AI scrapers from slowing down your instance as all they'll see is an empty homepage, so no DB calls. As long as you're on 0.19.11, federation will still work.

I was speaking rhetorically about people like Reindorf, I didn't mean to imply you thought trans people were undesirables.

"Lemmy is more right wing than Reddit" — someone that hasn't browsed a country subreddit in years.

True, but I do still think the unfairness to disabled people is important to highlight, even if it's just the principle of it as opposed to real world impacts. It's important we don't let them push 'undesirables' into disabled people's facilities as that carries negative implications for both groups.

When North Carolina and Mississippi passed anti-LGBT laws, that mandated trans people use the toilets of their assigned sex among other things, the Foreign Office issued travel advice warning LGBT tourist against travel there. Reindorf is now trying to introduce the same here and has the gall to tell trans people to stop overreacting to them becoming second class citizens by her hand.

That's not really fair on disabled people, their facilities are already limited and having a bunch of non-disabled people add strain will only exasperate that. Also, forcing trans people to use a special trans toilet will also out them in public and potentially make them less safe.

This is also such a non-issues, trans people have been using the toilets of their gender identity for literal decades and it's only become an issue now, and only because of well funded activist groups, not any issues in the real world.

Campaigners say the retailer’s decision to advertise on the channel, contradicts its claims to be “celebrating the LGBTQ+ community” and “making M&S a place where all LGBTQ+ people feel they belong.”

Over 10,000 supporters of the ‘Stop Funding Hate’ campaign have now contacted M&S or signed a petition to ask them to pull their ad spending with the right-wing broadcaster, following incidents which included a presenter saying the LGBT+ movement included “paedos”.

Last month GB News presenter and ‘comedian’ Josh Howie referred to a statement by the Episcopalian Church calling for the “full inclusion of LGBTQ+ persons” before adding “I just want to say that that includes paedos,” while shouting the last word.

Other comments have included a discussion on trans issues on Friday 24th January, in which presenter Michelle Dewberry said: “Some of these fellas that go around dressed as women with their fake bits in their bras, they are deviants, quite frankly.”

GB News also aired claims that the trans-inclusive Progress Pride flag is associated with a “misogynistic ideology that has proven to be a direct threat to human rights” (supposedly for including trans people). A spokesperson for Stop Funding Hate told Byline Times: “Marks & Spencer has been advertising on GB News Radio… despite having made strong positive statements on both LGBTQ+ inclusion and climate. It’s had a big response from our supporters so far.”

Flamingos can't draw, but they can apparently write PRs.
