Amber Volcel Police Whataboutism

Political affiliation is not a protected class, nor should it be.

One additional suggestion I might make is to allow you to report the post to your own instance admins but not the host admins. This would be useful for when you want a post to be hidden or an instance defederated and you don’t want to also send your identity to the instance you’re reporting.

This might be used for:

Reporting spam coming from an instance that is unlikely to delete it.

Reporting CSAM on an instance that supports it.

Reporting hate speech on instances that believe hate speech is covered by free speech.

Etc.

Uncritical support for the Lemmy development team.

I am not going to go into whether it’s right or not, but using the term “B*tching” may not be a slur, but it is still considered misogynistic in many cases, because it is comparing a negative action (complaining) with a misogynistic stereotype (the B*tch).

R*tard is a slur, but if you called something r*tarded, that would still be ableist and be rightfully removed. Many people believe that the same logic should apply to misogynistic slurs.

Whether you agree or not is up to you, but the developers’ logic for the filter being in the state it is is sound.

One of my accounts consistently gets a “JWT token expired” error about once a minute, is there a way to fix this?

First blocking Hexbear, now blocking dbzer0. Obviously the Lemmy.world admins are taking the “lemmy.world being so big is bad for the Fediverse and people should move to smaller instances” critiques to heart and trying to incentive users to move

One benefit the Fediverse has over a centralized site is that, as long as you set the same display name and avatar, most people will recognize you after a migration. For example, I know a few fellow Lemmygrad guys who have alternate, identical Lemmy.ml accounts for posting on instances that block Lemmygrad, and you can’t even tell which account they’re using unless you visit their page.
