when on voice or the phone?

That’s it. Those are my pet peeves

I don’t know, because my parents were irreligious too. My dad was an atheist, and my mum is agnostic. She has some spiritual beliefs, but has no religious beliefs or belief in deities.

Let me guess, you just watched The Diplomat? :)

There is no space on this instance or its communities for “allies” who think the tone of queer folks comics is the real issue that needs to be talked about

At a guess, I’d say it’s confirmation bias

Wow, this thread had me bringing out the ban hammer a lot!

Hopefully me banning will get that message across

The thing is, when that happens, the mods/admins of the trolls new instance ban them there, without the original admin having to do anything.

Abandoned instances, or instances that simply don’t moderate, get defederated, so it’s quite manageable.

The only case where it’s not that clear cut, is where the troll is a big issue for one admin, but not another. Take trans issues for example. I have a zero tolerance policy on transphobia on this instance, but not all lemmy admins are as aware of the dogwhistles as I am, so I will block some users that other admins won’t. It’s not ideal, but it’s manageable, because I can stop their brand of transphobia from reaching my instance even if they’re not banned by the remote admin. And if that pushes the troll to create another account elsewhere to get through the instance ban, then that becomes harassment, and the other admins will act, even if they wouldn’t before.

Thus, the decentralized platform is rolling out a “more aggressive” policy on parody accounts that aren’t clearly labeled.

If it were decentralised, it wouldn’t be possible for the platform to set a network wide policy on parody accounts…

Image noise. For photography

Neat image is the one I use because it’s the only one that works. It’s not my first choice though

Unfortunately not. It won’t run under wine or the like. Even VMs are painful, because it needs GPU pass through to work, which requires a second dedicated video card

Really good image noise reduction software.

That’s pretty much the only thing I miss, and I don’t miss it enough to suffer through Windows

You went mask off pretty quickly…

But I have to play devil’s advocate

That’s not being a devils advocate, it’s just plain transphobia. As if trans people somehow have the power social power to choose the worlds attention.

You say hate is for religious reasons, and then blame the victims of that hate for the attention they’re getting from their oppressors, the very people you yourself just said are responsible for it.

And honest opinion or not, you chose to spend your energy undermining a trans person talking about our oppression, when you could simply have chosen to not do that. And that shit is creating the very problem you just blamed trans people for

I don’t think I’m quite as effusive about it as you, but it was a good movie and I don’t understand the hate either

Trans people

It’s not normally about power level, but about how far apart the servers are. Because they’re sent serially and have to be acknowledged before they can be processed, it means that world can send out content faster than regionally distant instances can process them because of the geographical latency added to every event

someone trying to sincerely answer a reasonable question

Yeah, that’s why you linked to transphobic hit pieces and described trans women in sports with hugely emotionally loaded terms

Because you’re reasonable

As I said from the beginning, your comment was fine unti you let some of your more transphobic opinions out in the final paragraph. That paragraph was not “reasonable”
