He definitely gets the seal of approval
Definitely doesn’t deserve a permanent ban imo, I don’t think they were trying to cause offence.
The modlog says it was the sh.itjust.works automod. The comment content didn’t contain any keywords that could have tripped it, so I’m not sure why it would have been set off. Maybe the automod is set to permanently ban recently created accounts that have a significant number of downvotes.
Maybe Boost doesn’t display that it’s been removed? When a comment is removed, Lemmy stills sends the content of the comment to the frontend - it’s up to your client to not display the content. The comment is definitely gone on the website frontend.
I didn’t remove it; the instance admins (the modlog says “automod”) did. They also got permanently banned from sh.itjust.works, apparently. I personally don’t think it was that bad - it sounds more like misunderstanding or ignorance than intent to cause offense. You’re welcome to look at the modlog to see what it said
It says “doesn’t use the internet”, not “can’t use the internet”. Whilst the internet has become more accessible over time through the use of screen readers etc, accessibility is unfortunately not considered a priority for many apps and websites. It’s trickier to navigate the web as a blind person because websites are primarily designed to be looked at, not heard. It’s not unreasonable that she might just not want to use it, even though she could learn to.
I’m aware of this - unfortunately, Lemmy doesn’t allow transcription of the post image in this way, as it isn’t part of the post body markdown. In Lemmy 0.19.4 or 0.19.5 (I’m not sure which) they added an actual alt_text
field to posts for this (see here). Once sh.itjust.works updates to that version, I’ll start using that field :D
The photo on the left is with makeup; the photo on the right is without. On the leftmost image the lips are more saturated and have more defined edges and there is more shadow around the eyes.
It says “hot surface do not touch” in full, actually. Braille uses single characters to represent some common letter combinations (“touch” is “t” + “ou” + “ch”). The words “do” and “not” are each contracted to a single letter (“d” and “n” respectively).
Birds have peckers
A common “reason” for why student loans shouldn’t be paid off by the government is that it would be unfair to everyone who has already paid off their student loans.
Italy, Spain and Austria are in purple. “Mixed” means that there was a mix of left and right in various regions of the country.
SponsorBlock automatically skips the entire sponsorship as soon as it starts, so a lot of the time you wouldn’t even know it was there if you didn’t see the green section of the playback bar.
It’s not just for sponsorships, either. You can set it to skip intro animations, reminders to subscribe, self promotion, etc.
“Bulum” means “instrument”, so it literally means “bum instrument”
Well, the button says “pull to start” and the sign says “do not push” so we’re good to start it, right?

I love this song. The intro sounds so other-worldly.
The Blower’s Daughter by Damien Rice is a favourite of mine.
It’s a Hamilton reference.
