Do I need to dress feminine too?

I agree with that, it’s not the urinals that are the problem it’s people standing next to each other to pee. Something that wouldn’t even happen if you were pissing outside on a tree or behind some bushes.

Yeah it would be so posts under those same tags get indexed together. Also probably wouldn’t be worth it to enable it in comments. It would probably be an extra field in the post where you add tags, not just typing a #hashtag.

Do you think that you need to pull your pants all the way down and sit to use a toilet to pee, if not what are you doing in the stall that wastes a ton more time? It’s not much slower from my experience just do it the way you would a urinal, with the only difference being that you have a door and real walls.

No, maybe, I don’t know, if there is it’s unspoken and unenforced because I’ve been doing it for years and no one ever complained to me.

Some people think they’re saving a bunch of time by using a urinal over a toilet but honestly it’s 5-6 seconds at most if you use it the same as you would a urinal, no sitting down, no pulling your pants all the way down, etc.

That’s great, hopefully Lemmy can support something like that soon. I know the devs said following tags is out of the question but I don’t think that means content shouldn’t have tags.

I think that Lemmy would benefit from a tag system, one that allows both adding tags to communities but also to posts, the upshot is that these could be handled like hashtags on other federated platforms like Mastodon. Lemmy already does this with posts in a community, but it’s just a hashtag of the community name, would be good if users could add their own tags.

They usually release a lot of bug fixes after a major update, and 0.19.6 had some nasty ones, mostly UI related. Which unfortunately wasn’t entirely fixed in 0.19.7 but at least they’re working on it.

OP is a huge troll, they created their own community to hate on linux and ban anyone who doesn’t agree with them even slightly. They’re also deliberately using the auto remove on ban function to obscure the content of the removed comments from appearing in the modlog.

They could, just as the alt-right troll instances did the exact same thing with ActivityPub proxy and ActivityPub-troll the difference though is that if we federate we hand them that data on a silver platter and invite them in. If they scrape or circumvent they’re getting it underhanded.

It’s the difference between being invited in, or walking in uninvited or worse, after being told no.

I already see myself setting up my own instances so I can rest in peace from the bullshit that’s repeated on here. Might implement my own regex filter just to block out this bullshit.

Just to be clear if you do engage in trolling or bad behavior they may block your insurances as well. Not necessarily saying that you will but I know that some have tried. Yes there are tools that let you bypass the federation or you can just get new domains but that’s called circumvention and could be considered a cyber attack.

Edit: just scrolled 3 other posts preemptively hating for nonsense. Im just gonna leave this shithole altogether. Bye guys!

Great, if ActivityPub isn’t working out for you and you can’t stand defederation then there’s the door.

Did you even check what those servers are? Because blocking spam servers is hardly what I would call knee-jerk defederation, but lots of users here are angry at the very idea of defederation because they were led astray and told that federation is something different than what it actually is (they think that it’s an open and free platform with no curation or moderation on what servers they’re allowed to access).

Nope Lemmy’s blocking system is cosmetic only. It’s very much useless against defending from real malicious users. I assume the purpose it was built for was under the assumption that it was going to be used exclusively by easily offended snowflakes, which is backed up by the way that most users treat a person’s claims regarding a malicious user or malicious instance.

They won’t see any communities from the server they block. Users are not blocked in domain blocking.

Users can now block instances. Similar to community blocks, it means that any posts from communities which are hosted on that instance are hidden. However the block doesn’t affect users from the blocked instance, their posts and comments can still be seen normally in other communities.

Not yet anyway. I wouldn’t expect that to stay the same forever though. Especially considering the amount of spam that’s already on Facebook.

Facebook does not have good very good moderation on their platforms (it’s only good enough to keep up their image in the public eye), and I don’t think threads will be an exception to that.

I feel like it’ll probably be one of the bigger sources of spam and hate speech on the Fediverse, at least for servers that don’t block it.

Users can now block instances. Similar to community blocks, it means that any posts from communities which are hosted on that instance are hidden. However the block doesn’t affect users from the blocked instance, their posts and comments can still be seen normally in other communities.

So yes but not exactly. It’s not as effective as you would think that an instance block would be if it doesn’t block the users. That’s not even addressing the fact that Lemmy’s blocking isn’t even really blocking it’s more along the lines of muting, it’s just named blocking.

Well on Lemmy it’s fake control considering this system wasn’t really designed to safeguard against malicious actors but rather to stop snowflakes from being offended.

Also the instance blocking feature doesn’t even block users, which you and everyone else suggesting people use it would know if you even read the changelog for 0.19 and saw this little qualifier right here:

Users can now block instances. Similar to community blocks, it means that any posts from communities which are hosted on that instance are hidden. However the block doesn’t affect users from the blocked instance, their posts and comments can still be seen normally in other communities.

If you want real control yourself what you need is your own Lemmy instance, or to co-operate a Lemmy instance with somebody else.

No offense but Kbin users have a lot more to worry about than the threads issue, considering the amount of development and moderation problems that plague kbin to this day.

Spamming, threats, and bad behavior all around.

If that’s what you were hoping for you should join Nostr, there they don’t have defederation.

Here though we do, and we use it because that’s the whole point of it, to block servers that are harmful or push unsavory content. Those who block servers are not opinionated snowflakes who have invalid opinions either.

Look the thing is that the user freedom aspect of the fediverse is not that you’re in full control of your account, or that you’re able to have unrestricted access to federation, it’s that there’s more than one place to sign up at. It’s not like Reddit where when you get banned it’s game over unless you want to spend time messing with Tor and setting up brand new emails to make a new account. There are other servers where you can sign up to if your current server bans you or defederates the instance where your communities are on.

The thing is the federation aspect is grossly misunderstood and was misrepresented in the beginning to get people to join. It is not an open and unrestricted Network, that means that there are instances that will not be up to the standards of others, for those instances they get defederated. If you still want to interact with them you need an account on them that’s just the way it is and the way it always has been, and it isn’t going to change anytime soon. The sooner you make peace with that the better your time will be here, and if you can’t make peace with it or you hate it I would suggest moving to a more open protocol like Nostr, and getting situated there.

These open protocols do have their own drawbacks, though if having one account and never having to worry about defederation is so important you I would definitely suggest looking into that, fediverse and ActivityPub might just not be for you.
