Thank you very much!

Ada is the best admin I’ve seen on Lemmy so far, keep up the good work.

Or downvotes were used to mock queer people saying “I have a right to exist without people wanting to hurt me.”

Cats are considered sacred in Islam… I consider their word as valid!

She always has (to my understanding), but she said she’d stop using her blahaj and only use Hexbear due to how Blahaj was ignoring issues she felt was more important. I don’t get how Hexbear is better for her, when I’ve had Stalinists say queers aren’t considered for workers’ rule, or other such things Marx himself would find odd.

If it helps, Good Girl has before said she’d leave for Hexbear months ago. Clearly she didn’t.

And then blamed for ruining the 2016 American election.

Snowden showed the government was spying, had to flee, deemed a terrorist. Assange showed the government disobeys the laws it enforces on everyone else, deemed a terrorist. Manning showed that war crimes are constant, deemed a terrorist, subjected to inhumane torture.

Every time a whistleblower exposes corruption and violations of laws in every country, they are punished. China, Russia, America, England, they’re all guilty of it.

Perfection!

If someone is unaware of piracy: Tell them.

If someone is aware of piracy and doesn’t care: “I don’t really know, I just got it off of a torrent site.”

If someone is aware of piracy and cares too much for a company they don’t work for: You can ignore them.

I thought the joke was she became a possum. Nope. Just grouchy.

Hard sci-fi is when writers take time to understand current science and understanding how things would work, and then apply it to the future. Arthur C. Clarke is the default example of hard sci-fi.

Basically, “hard” sci-fi uses real world science to figure out how something would work in a future setting. And hard sci-fi really tries to figure out if something is practical outside of a set piece. “Soft” sci-fi is more about social problems of the real world and beyond, like Star Trek. But there isn’t an exact formal definition for where hard starts and soft begins, and vice versa.

And I think 95% of scifi fans would agree that neither is better or worse, it just fits the story as its needed. Personally I love hard scifi as a concept, but my favorite scifi stories are all soft, like Star Trek.

That’s just homeopathy and corporate funded “studies”.

South Park would probably be on the side of Google and other corporations, Matt and Trey are diehard libertarian capitalists.

Thank you, Ada. That’s nice to hear. Sorry you had to design something like this to solve a problem that only exists from lemmy’s devs not working on their own successful software.

I genuinely do not know, I just know that a fellow mod banned and removed all posts, and I had nothing better to do than take care of it as I wait to pass out.

I’m not gonna get mad at you or other users for reporting bigots and rule breakers. If I came across as mad at you or the other reporters, that is not my intentions as I am just up at 3 AM for some reason.

Mod from 196 who had nothing else better to do than clear out the mod log of 300+ reports of the same user spamming from the same instance https://files.catbox.moe/rypu0b.png

I fully believe either lemmy.today either supports these actions, can’t deal with them, or refuses to deal with them at this point. We’ve had to clean up so much spam on 196 within the last few days it’s getting tedious. Either way, I personally vote for defederation until they clean up their act.

It’s genuinely frustrating to deal with all of this. Doesn’t help that Lemmy doesn’t have good mod tools. At some point I had to double check it was even being cleared, despite the user being banned and all content removed.

Interesting, gotcha. I’m not a backend dev so I assume you have more info than I do on all this, just spitballing.
