  • Republicans want ‘comprehensive oversight’ of Michigan’s 2026 election — meaning what?

  • Between this, Haley Steven's voting for the denouncing socialism bill, Dana Nessel using her office to further Israel's aims, and the roads it is not feeling good to be a Michigander lately

  • What would you want to see this site do differently from Reddit?

  • Its not good against individuals, but it keeps this from becoming a space where they can congregate and try to attract people in the pipeline already.

    Of course people aren't automatons, but people can and do often unconsciously mirror and internalize things they see as normal in a community. Defederation does do a good job of keeping the bulk of Lemmy from being a Nazi bar, so that will happen less here. Its not a perfect solution, but its better than reddit in that regard.

    I don't know why you keep bringing up tankies, you do realize they founded the site right? I don't think that gives them any special right to be here, but its also hard to imagine Lemmy without tankies. Its a part of what makes the space unattractive to fascists, and I'm not going to pretend I don't enjoy seeing Hexbears tear their posts into pieces. I think the numbers of tankies here is a lot lower than some users would have you believe, and the main instances are largely defederated or default blocks. I'm fairly content with how that is working out.

    As for the rest, you won't be able to debate fascism into the ground. Fascists have to be crushed through collective action. People differ on what that would look like, in my ideal we would band together march through the streets and dismantle the engines of war that fascists rely on. Burn the factories, abolish their institutions, and set about the work of preparing the world for climate disasters. They're not going to fall over and stop being fascists because of perfect inescapable logic. They're going to stop being fascists when the tools they would use to oppress us both physical and cultural are broken and they see they cannot win. Your debate tactics will have a place breaking their cultural tools, but it has to be accompanied by a large enough unified front to make fighting back infeasible, and the removal of avenues for them to retake control by physical destruction of weapons, weapons manufacturing, and vehicles of war including those used by the police.

  • What fascists? They're rarely here.

    Yeah, that was my point when I said it was already in a better situation than Reddit with defederation. They're rarely here because they get quickly defederated. It's part of why I've stayed.

    Tankies, too? They're already here.

    Yeah and they're also mostly defederated too

  • I want Lemmy to do a better job than reddit at keeping fascists from being free to spread their poison. Lemmy is already better at this with defederation, but its something to keep an eye on always.

    I think it would be cool if Lemmy were a bit bigger than it is now. Enough of a population to keep niche communities moving would be great, but Lemmy at its current size is a nice escape from a lot of the political landscape you see on Reddit or Twitter.

  • Alan Tudyk is gold, and this show is so much fun. It gets better as it goes, and the representation is really solid

  • Followup I forgot to ask, do you mean to put the links in the body in spoiler tags, or can that be done in the "link" part of the form?

  • Oh that's odd! I don't know much about Europe.pub, I only really briefly looked at their top communities to try and judge if it was a nazibar but wasn't super diligent. Thanks for trying to take a look for me :)

  • This is a good point. Labels might be tough in terms of new users and moderator labor, but would definitely make a much better experience for fine-grained preferences

  • Good to know! I feel like I would be hesitant with games in the vein of mortal kombat or even bayonetta but that seems to be less of an expectation than I was worried about

  • Fair enough! Thank you, I expected that not to be as popular a view on beehaw, so I am happy to see users all over seem to be chill with it

  • Luckily they aren't screenshots so at least in my client they require a separate click to open. They do get graphic in some animations though. Thank you for mentioning the blocks. I do that all the time, but didn't think about that being an object when I'm contributing 😂

  • No joke I once had someone call the cards from the game "Love Letter" pornographic. A lot of the "they're making everything sexless" cranks are weirdos so I stay away from those discussions generally, but I do feel like the needle on amount of sexuality it is appropriate to display has moved too far. There are some scantily clad figures in Dead by Daylight, but the issue more commonly from gameplay clips is violence. Particularly the killer moris are pretty graphic

  • Most of the content is in embedded videos. The two in question are from tiktok and from a twitch clip. Not sure how they appear in other clients but in mine I have to click them to open the full screen

  • Thank you! That is a nice feature, though I think my issue is more that I find it on the border of NSFW, not really close to NSFL. So don't know if that will quite be what I need

  • That's fair. That's what initially made me mark them. I think my understanding of NSFW might be more stringent than most, as others have mentioned that users can always block the more graphic stuff if they think it would be an issue.

  • FFmpeg to Google: Fund Us or Stop Sending Bugs

  • Well for instance you can use it to apply tranparencys or other effects using the geq filter. It applies a formula to every pixel in the input and can adjust alpha, rgb values, and gamma. You can also use conditionals in your formula and have access to the current pixels location and value, so you can apply your transforms only to specific regions if you want, or do an adjustment keyed only to a specific color.
