FYI when you request a guarantee, you can specify another instance to solicit a guarantee from. They will get a PM to inform them.

Generally getting people to guarantee for others consistently has been the biggest struggle on fediseer >_<

It’s been out for the past year. It’s all word of mouth but a lot of instances have fediseer badges to draw attention to it.

Everyone has to kiss the ring. They know who their class allies are.

Meh

Met a guy at the local boardgame event. Got to talking about how he was always driven out of gaming groups and nobody invites him anymore and a lot more of “oh woe is me” stuff. I recognized a bit of my younger self in him and how used the same schtick to get sympathy and social interaction before I learned how toxic this behaviour is. I wanted to try and mentor him out of this self-defeating behaviour so I invited him to my place.

When he came in treated my family like a complete asshole. Couldn’t make them suffer for one dude.

Fediverse feels real glow-ey lately.

Not quite sure what this means

I don’t even think you need even a bot for that. Just grab the relevant RSS

This is completely unsurprising tbh. A lot of the old mods were enthusiasts who grew a community from scratch due to their love for the subject. In the reddit API shutdown, a lot of those mods left in disgust, or were replaced by the reddit admins, or were driven off by the leftover toxic userbase calling them “entitled jannies” or whatever. A lot of the mods who took over their place were just power-hungry users who were chomping at the bit to get the chance to run a big community as their personal fiefdom because they were too toxic to grow one themselves.

This is the inevitable culmination of these events.

Anyway, welcome to lemmy. We become more powerful from every user who writes off reddit forever.

PS: if you see power-trippin’ behaviour around these parts, you can always post about it in !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Moreover, Bluesky already feels a bit like how social media would look if a non-TERF version of the Guardian was running it. It’s very liberal, very centrist, and very ‘don’t rock the boat too much’.

We’ll be keeping an eye on this, and for the moment we’ll be posting to both Twitter and Bluesky. We look forward to engaging with you wherever you end up.

“we’re not ready to choose between the cop bar and the Nazi bar, so for now we’ll keep hanging out in both.”

Of course they don’t mention fediverse as an option. Of course.

It’s because mods in places like this sub delete their posts and centrists on /all downvote such posts in places like leftymemes.

You mean an exploit payload embedded in an image, and pwning a system parsing that image through python PIL? While there’s never a 100% chance of anything, you’re more likely to be struck by lightning than this coming to pass and at that point you’re at more security risk at using the internet altogether.

I read most of it until I reached the point where it’s a slow-burn advertisement for their own AI assistant

Why would it be a security risk?

To combar spam I’d imagine. Is there no possibility to reach and use a temporary email service or smt?

We’re not discussing that right now. Just about other people playing games as women. In the original situation that got you banned it’s because you kept forcing the egg against the comm rules.

Some of these numbers are weird? LinkedInlunaticsn got +2k subs this week?

Going out of ones way to Do it every time and drawing yourself is an order of magnitude more significant.

Or mastodon. But estabilished news media sites never mention non-VC backed solutions if they can help it.

You’re literally asking for the perspective of cis people who play as the opposing gender in games. You’re not discussing the trans experience.

I’ve played plenty of 3rd person games as male and female. If there’s not an option, I did it because it’s the game I want to play. If there’s an option, such as in an RPG, I sometimes do it because I role play.
