Lols [they/them]

their games have featured modding on both playstation and xbox in some capacity

but yes, its also nonsense

this case of defederation is specifically literally about users posting CASM

having a ‘principled objection’ to others telling you that you can’t see child sexual abuse tapes is very admirable and sounds much better

i doubt its going to change anything though, since ‘principled objection’ to laws doesnt actually stop said laws from applying to you, or the site youre using

spreading child pornography is in fact illegal in most of the world

76 has actually made me pretty hopeful for the direction of bethesdas games- it includes a return to older style dialogue, introduced more skill checks and the like, featured a more cohesive world and generally seemed like it went back on the simplification a fair bit

starfield similarly seems to be more of a return to form for them, focusing more on character builds, an expansive trait system etc

it is also being worked on heavily by the lead quest designer for far harbor iirc, which is absolutely a good sign and is setting my hopes high for a deeper, more complex and more forked main questline than Bethesda usually goes for

not a blahaj user

personally, i feel like a significant portion of hexbear has more of an interest in signaling an interest in solidarity than having that solidarity

for a good chunk of them, solidarity doesnt seem to be as high of a priority as instance-based tribalism, finding libs to dunk on or promoting russia and/or china

iirc, deleting the post from hexbear would not have done anything, defederation affects any interaction with blahaj

being generally opposed to death threats or calls to violence on a website you use, regardless of the political affiliations of the people making them, and regardless of the political affiliations of the people they’re made towards

i interpreted your comment as believing that the above is not actually happening, and that any issues with death threats are actually entirely because of who is (perceived to be) threatened and who is (perceived to be) threatening them, and i feel like that is unfair

i understand how this might be a misinterpretation, for instance because you consider ‘being against death threats or calls to violence’ to inherently be a political ideal

if youre unable or unwilling to accept that someone might feel more strongly about perceived death threats and calls for violence than copyright law for non political reasons, im not sure what to tell you

im sure that theres more uproar over hexbear for political reasons, but i feel like there are other valid reasons for copyright issues not causing as much concern as perceived death threats or calls to violence

deleted by creator

not from blahaj, but considering your concerns about federating with illegal content i feel like its important to note that calling for violence against or deaths of people or groups of people is illegal in large parts of the world, especially those that federation users will be from

*not from blahaj

it wouldnt show up in local, so you might miss some folks that stick exclusively to blahaj

crossposting with a local post would fix it somewhat though i guess

i dont know, i just know what exploding-heads is

the biggest general conservative instance

blahaj federating with hexbear literally does not affect you

i dont think tthat striving for ‘utopia’ and idealism puts people off just because it often results in ignoring practicality for the sake of perfection, but because it turns a conversation that should be about treatments and solutions into proselytism

most people flat out are not interested in learning the theory of whatever ideology youre trying to sell them, and therefore will not be interested in whatever treatments and solutions youre proposing for individual problems as part of that ideology

focus on educating folks about the actual problems and pointing them in the way of the individual solutions to those problems
