I love this strip, but I'm not sure it really applies to "dude has a manhole cover in his house."

I don't love their decision to defederate hexbear, but otherwise I like this instance.

Not to say I don't understand their reasoning for defederating, because I do, I just prefer as little defeds as possible aside from corporate influence (fuck threads)

I genuinely cannot express the depths of my sorrow.

I understand the decision and hold no ill will towards the admin team, I just think lemm.ee was exactly everything I wanted from an instance and am truly sad to not only lose the account history being associated with me, but also the most neutral of the instances.

I've seen a lot of variations of the trolley problem, and this is the first time I've ever heard the "heavy man." It also makes zero sense, because a heavy man would do nothing to a trolley.

I have severe anxiety too. It is an unfortunate additional challenge, but it does not absolve us our part in society nor give us an excuse to treat others poorly.

I use Infinitebacklog, which is basically the video games version of what letterboxd is for films or rateyourmusic is for music

You don't call for a flag on the play when it's your team causing the penalty

Lol, imagine thinking you're allowed a momentary reprieve from advertising in this hellscape of a world we've built.

This has always been the point.

It has never been about which restroom trans people use, it was always been about being able to harass and vilify trans people.

The right doesn't want to just enforce gender binary, they want to erase anything and anyone that falls outside it.

Air is a gaseous fluid.

This is just how birds look at all of us.

 

Not trying to start anything, and if this is the wrong place to post about it I apologize, I'm not sure where else to broach the topic, but as a user I've noticed an enormous increase is moderator action today and I'm curious if there was some catalyst that the userbase should be aware of. Prior to today, the modlog shows only a few mod actions most days, and previous entire months can fit within one screenview. Furthermore, most of those actions were locking posts or removing and reprimanding specific offending comments. Yet today there is an entire wave of moderator actions, including such vague notes as "Troll Post" on meme posts with significant engagement.

I promise I'm not trying to start drama, I am just concerned as I love Lemmy and want to see it and the community thrive, and I am concerned about the same issues that plague Reddit could potentially find their way here.

That said, I also understand this isn't a democracy, so if the reply is simply "that's how it is," I guess I'm going to just shrug and accept it.
