Sometimes I think about how shitting is one of the few things that unites everybody, across class lines. There's plenty of unpleasant things that the rich can pay somebody to do for them, but world leaders, movie stars, crown royalty, they all have to go into a room and shit in some kind of hole.

That document seems to use communities in the normal English sense and spaces in the "collection of Matrix rooms" sense. I would say spaces are what they're called and a community is just an informal group of like-minded people who can be better-organized using spaces.

That or she only reads the ones with the blue checkmarks.

I already knew about massive Pokémon, they were famously included in Sword/Shield.

Nice, thanks for the update! I went ahead and searched the original comments on @[email protected]'s thread to force them to federate, so they're now all visible on our end as well.

Did somebody say "DOGOON"?

Personally, I don't mind waiting for the software to catch up (user-level instance blocks) if that makes your life easier, but I don't know how representative I am or how long that wait will be.

It's a Californian street gang. The current US administration has taken to rounding up people they don't like and deporting them without due process on the basis that they are members of MS-13, using highly dubious interpretations of innocuous things which they claim are secret MS-13 codes (like in my comment).

I can't speak for @[email protected], but I wonder if the situation could change as the Mbin software evolves. Currently, we don't have user-level instance blocks on Mbin, a feature which does exist over on Lemmy. There is already a high-priority feature request for this to be added to Mbin.

Once users can self-select what instances they want to block, instance-wide defederations could in theory be more relaxed, as questionably-objectionable instances can be handled with user-side blocks rather than the current setup where defederation is really the only option.

Another thing that some Lemmy instances have done (@[email protected], you're everywhere, help me out; do you know where I might have seen this?) is setting up a default block list on the user-side. This is effectively an instance-wide defederation that individual users can elect to reverse, allowing another level of handling for problem instances. Ultimately, users win when admins have more options than full defederation available to them.

EDIT: I found it, it's lemmy.zip that does this:

In service to your point though, Davies ... wrote those characters to have those roles. He could have written different characters who would offer some insight into segregation from the other side, whether that meant replacing some of those characters or just adding more. The kid behind the counter at the diner would almost certainly be white, but it wouldn't be unusual for kitchen or cleaning staff to be black. It's not that hard to come up with a way to introduce one of these employees, especially late at night when the leads arrived.

This card sequence is intended to signify that OP is in MS-13.

• Queen (Man, not)
• King (Sovereign)
• Ace (Hyphen)
• 1 (1)
• 2 (3)

Do we know why startrek.website is defederated? I'm not disputing it, I just don't know what the history is. Checking them out, they look like a pretty generic single(-ish)-purpose instance around sci-fi TV (mainly Star Trek and Doctor Who).

Totally, I don't understand why it doesn't work that way.

Absolutely. I can't know what has gone wrong inside him, but even if this particular brainworm was eating him up 20 years ago, he could have just said something vaguely apologetic and let it blow over. Instead, he decided a trans hate crusade was more important than his family or his career.

Series 3, episode 4, "The Speech". Sadly, it's also the episode where they convince Jen a box with a flashing red light is the Internet, but it has a subplot where Reynholm un-knowingly dates a trans woman. He finds her stereotypically masculine behavior attractive until he finds out she is transgender and a physical fight erupts between them.

It's not even on the upper end of offensive comedy about trans people, but when the episode was criticized, Linehan doubled down and has kept doubling down harder for 20 straight years, to the point where he now spends all of his time harassing, dead naming and doxing trans women on Twitter. His wife left him, writing jobs dried up, he's just a miserable has-been Twitter checkmark asshole now.

Except for that one transphobic episode that Graham Linehan has ruined his whole life over instead of going "Yeah, I'm sorry, that was a bit insensitive."
