I’m armchair Freuding a bit, but I think that’s one of the reasons “Femdom” type pornos seem to be enjoyed by some men.

Like I totally get wanting a woman to take control. But the “femdom” stuff online tends to be degarding, straight up mean. (Which some people like and is okay, but it’s more mainstream than I’d imagine).

On my lemm.ee account I just kinda joined a hexbear conversation from /all without realising it was hexbear and got downvoted to hell and banned for being vaguely anti-authoritarian.

To be fair @ptz@dubvee.org

You’re doing an impossible job by trying to basically singlehandedly create a nice curated instance while removing all the bad stuff. Which honestly is amazing. But it’s not suprising to me that with that sort of workload you’re having a tough time and the charm of the lemmyverse is fading.

Edit: Holy shit I didn’t realise you’re shutting down dubvee (https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/28754411). Honestly, I think that’s a very fair choice on your part given the situation. Respect.🫡

Is there reason to assume the hexbear “offense” was bad faith and they contributed to lemm.ee’s decline.

Hexbear can ban you for not thinking Russia is doing good by invading ukraine. So I wouldn’t take a Hexbear ban very seriously.

Fluffernutter?

I barely even know her.

Yes. But phonetic languages phoneticise loanwords.

Ie. In Japanese the word “coffee” has bexome a loanword. But they don’t keep the unphoneticised english version. They phoneticise it to fit with their pronounciation and it becomes kohi.

(This is complicated of course by katakana and such but just an example. German tends to so the same, since it’s phonetic.)

Ie. German Kaffee from turkish kahve, or German Komputer from english computer

Fuck spelling norms.

Make English Phonetic Again!

MEPA!

Do you not understand the concept of a safe space?

When you’re literally one of the most politically targeted groups and create a community the point might not be to make it a “free speech zone” but the one place on the internet you feel safe.

That doesn’t make them authoritarian politically. They’re just admins following through on a vision. Where people can freely join their instance or not. Not politicians enforcing their views on people who didn’t consent to it.

Blahaj doesn’t pretend to be a neutral instance like lemmy.ml does. It’s explicit.

Youre mixing up moderation style and political ideology.

Blahaj is moderated to be a safe space for trans people. That means they remove anything remotely insulting or harmful. That’s their moderation policy. That doesn’t mean their political views are authoritarian.

Lemmy.world, sh.itjust.works and Feddit.org are the most centrist ones probably. They’re like liberal leftism while the rest of lemmy tends to be explicitly anti-capitalist.

Blahaj is explicitly anti-tankie. I mean look at the banner of !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone, so they are clearly lib left.

Whilst dbzer0 is literally explicitly anti-capitalist.

So both of those go lib left. Perhaps dbzer0 more lib and blahaj more left.

i think so. kbin was abandoned. mbin is the successor.

Or you can post your edit in the talk page and ask for permission to make that edit.

Someone wrote an entire book just on the egyptian revolution wikipedia page and how it shows the technocratic culture of wikipedia and different voices and perspectives get promoted whilst other marginalised.

And we have “wellness” influencers convincing you all you need is random supplements and to eat healthy and “brain retraining” and you’ll feel great TM.

Superman started off as Anti-Facist. But it’s worth noting it was co-opted during WW2 and the Cold War and became more of a propaganda vehicle than anything.

You can wear whatever clothes you like if you’re on a bike. Just like you don’t have to paint your car a specific colour to be allowed to drive.

And drivers are allowed to blast music so cyclists should as well. All the safety shouldn’t fall on cyclist double standards.

Given my favourite celebrity is severely disabled and anarchist leaning. I think I’m an exception to this rule.

My favourite celebrity would have been killed in the Nazi genocide of disabled people instead…

I dunno if I’m happy about women’s football getting bigger or angry it’s going down the same capitalist hyper commodified extractive way as men’s football.
