I’m gonna be really honest, I think a big part of what feels violating about people seeing your nudes in the first place is being sexualized without your consent, and losing agency over who you allow yourself to be sexualized by

That’s not any different with deepfakes. I don’t think that’d actually make that person feel much better. Like maybe they can save face on the fact that they took nudes depicting themselves in whatever way, but the thing that I think does the most emotional damage isn’t actually changed or affected by saying “it’s not actually me, those are deepfakes” :(

(I’m pretty sure they were giving a joke answer, i.e. that the person’s ass will explode with shit… 😅)

Thank you very much for taking the time to explain, that was very helpful :)

I’m interested to understand your perspective better- are you saying that the idea smaller less industrialized farms are less harmful to animal welfare than industrial ones, is a myth?

If so, I’d like to better understand why. I have an eating disorder and am not in a position to go vegan from a health standpoint, but I’d hoped that as I’m able (financially, and with respect to my eating issues) I’d be able to reduce my animal product intake and purchase my animal products from sources that treat animals better like smaller local farms, either shopping at a local butcher or farmers market.

Obviously I can still reduce my animal product intake as I’m able, but are you of the perspective that smaller, less industrialized farms are just as damaging to animal welfare? Or are you saying all farms these days, even small ones, are industrialized in the ways that negatively affect animal welfare?

If so, I’d love to hear about why, and if you know any sources I could take a look at I’d really appreciate it. That had been my plan in the future and if my plans might not yield what I was hoping for, I may need to re-evaluate what I can do, and what goals I might want to find ways to work towards.

Thanks for your time, hope you have a good one :)

You’re very welcome friend, I don’t have many things to post, but I feel pretty strongly that we set the culture of this space, and I want to be a part of it being a nice place to be :)

The only Souls-like I’ve played is hollow knight, but if I think of hollow knight things that might be worth posting I might occasionally share a hollow knight meme or music

I hope you have a lovely day!

Fuck yeah! I hope this makes it a little easier to hopefully get others engaged.

That’s a really hard thing to do with niche communities on a platform this size. I’m rooting for you!

Thats my exact comment from when I saw things on reddit a while back 😅 I also thought it looked exactly like a plunger

Thank you very much for taking the time to explain where things are at for folks!

I’ll have to wait and see if an Android client that supports it shows up, it looks really neat!

I usually just describe fediverse platforms as being community built and run, rather than corporate platforms owned by a company. And then if folks have questions I can answer whatever they wanna know more about 🤷‍♂️

To me that feels like the best balance I’ve come up with so far, but maybe there are better approaches out there still :)

Neat!!

What did they do?

😬😬😬

God fucking damnit man. Our local shit going to the democrats has been like my only solace

Interesting, thanks!

What weather app is that?

I fucking adore Zach Freedman! Happy to see him getting some love 😊

:((((((

What is quiblr?

Ah, gotcha. Thank you for the additional information :)

Thank you very much the full explanation, there’s a lot of that I hadn’t considered before. Intuitively it feels like it defeats a lot of the point for everything to be hosted over and over, but I can see how it’d be really hard for things to work as expected if there’s only one copy of EVERY comment in a big thread and they’re all in different places
