hi! i also am on the lemmy.cafe instance :) there’s not many of us but it’s very chill

as for what you did to have happened, your relative may have just sent you a link to lemmy.cafe?

that’s the cool part of fediverse: you technically don’t “join the fediverse” in the same way you don’t “join email.” Rather, you signed up for an account on a single server that can communicate with all the communities hosted between all the different servers. It’s kind of like how you might choose to make an account on outlook.com versus gmail.com—and you visit the site to go there.

you are the first person i’ve know to also do this! it really does help

Edited. Glad to be of service.

Corrected; added “just”

To clarify, this user didn’t just say “punch Nazis”; this user told a disabled person to commit an act of gun violence that would most likely result in death. Some mods have called that encouraging suicide by cop. Other mods have simply said that inciting a specific act of violence is against the rules. In every instance, though, it’s been modded, because it’s disgusting behavior.

Just clearing up the lies because I am sick of it.

you know it shows what you engage with right 😳

it’s marketing research analyzing human behavior. your comment is wrong and the article certainly has meaning.

something ive been wondering myself 🧐

likewise.

It’s not misgendering when they’re a troll.

you are the problem. right here. people like you who feel like they have to be guerilla saviors in trans spaces and throw around judgement and abuse without a single thought as to how much damage you are causing by doing exactly what the trolls want. you are the problem.

DOWNVOTE. REPORT. BLOCK. how many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man???

See this and the preceding comment chain with the mod, this pretty much outlines exactly what you are curious about. https://lemmy.cafe/comment/9422323 (Sorry I don’t mean to be dismissive but I am doing my best to be helpful while not over investing time.)

that key word there—policy—is so important and not to be ignored

Absolutely agree. You and your team do not have issue with transgender identities—yet you do take issue with Ada’s policies surrounding dignity in transgender identities.

If you feel any of my post is inappropriately targeted at your personal beliefs rather than your attitudes towards policy, you may absolutely let me know or suggest a better wording. I never intend to skew the truth, but I also feel a duty to my fellow community members to accurately portray why your team does not align with 196’s wills and needs.

Yes and it should be worse. OpenAI should be forced to take on the cost of compensating every copyright holder it exploited. If that means OpenAI doesn’t exist I’m absolutely okay with that.

In the time since I made this post, Xiaohongshu has already added a native translate button for text posts and comments.

Images are less of a big deal since:

a) Memes and jokes originally written in Mandarin often don’t make sense when translated anyway (i.e., puns, cultural references).

b) English-speaking users have generally agreed to hold each other accountable so that when they post English content, they include both English and Mandarin subtitles out of respect for the fact that they are “intruding.”

c) When worst comes to worst, iOS lets you translate text from screenshots natively (it takes a few taps but works), and Android lets you do it instantly with screen-reading translation apps.

SodaStream is a target of the pro-Palestine BDS movement.

Zionists, like the freaks they are, say that being pro-Palestine is equivalent to antisemitism. Presumably that comment refers to Zionists who view buying a SodaStream as a badge of honor or act of nobility, though I personally haven’t seen anyone say that outright.

100%

Blocking is generally the last resort and I totally get how you might want to leave folks unblocked to “keep an eye out”—cuz me too. :P

I just like to bring blocking up frequently because some people with thinner temperament can’t resist leaving a trollish comment alone.

At the risk of sounding rudely dismissive (I don’t mean to be), what you are describing absolutely is real and it has been named trolling. :) 100% of these behaviors have been witnessed by people since the dawn of the internet.

While moderation helps, the proven best way to deal with trolls is to treat them like a spam email. Block, report, and delete. If you engage, respond, repost or create meta discussion about the trolling user, they win. Unfortunately, a lot of these lessons we got from Reddit have been utterly forgotten and now we have mythologized a user who did harrasment and suicide encouragement. :(

“At the center” is a fair way to put it. I will ammend my statement to be “None of this was caused by Drag.”

I just know how trolls and generally mean people work. Saying their name gives them the power they want. Don’t do it.

This mess is not causally related to Drag. The mods themselves make a point that Drag did not cause the issue. So while there is an element of embroilment, it’s not appropriate to lay blame on a single bad actor.

In the end, it’s really you which is carrying forward past drama and enabling a troll’s agenda of people not being able to stop feeding the same tired points.
