he does not think about lemmy, we should likewise think of him less

Reddit Exodus: “reddit is being corporate and shitty and greedy, time to bounce”

Facebook shows up: “oh, let’s let them; in fact, we should be happy that they’re coming to the fediverse! only good things can come from this”

like it’s as if y’all forgot the thing that just happened; why are you all so quick to give the corporation that only cares for money a chance

you are an example of why they’re so strict about it

imo, I can totally understand parts of the trans community not wanting to have to teach people to respect them (people not respecting you as a person by default fucking sucks, and it’s understandable that you’d find it not worth your energy and fucking ridiculous that you have to teach people that you’re a person)

so, I can see why OP got immediately banned, especially since they legit said a slur in a shit joke that, with said slur, could have come off as weirdly fetishizing; many people in marginalized communities don’t really like having to go through someone’s post that comes off bigoted to “figure out if they meant to say something bigoted on purpose or in a bad way” for obvious reasons

hopefully OP realized why they blacklisted them so quickly

I mean, it was never “in favor”; as far as I know, it had always been a slur

I can’t see how OP was “failed by moderation”; I assume the instance they were on had a zero tolerance policy for such language, and honestly someone with a blog on the internet that had a twitter account probably should have known that that word was a slur and still is

maybe they’ll realize why they got banned and figure out that “jokes” like that aren’t tolerable, but with how they reacted here I don’t know

apart from the fact that this is 6 years old , this reads like someone who didn’t understand federation and just wanted and expected the same experience as non-federated sites

like he says that the fundamental point of the platform is a flaw that needs to be rectified (read, ‘centralized’)

also a complaint he had was that it didn’t have celebrities on it, and considered this (and it not having a big userbase at the time) a flaw

I think he was looking at it as “the thing that wants to compete with/ replace Twitter”

I’d think that most OG lemmy users were people like that, so it’s not “small”

imo, the dicey part of the matter is “what amount of the AI’s dataset is made up of actual images of children”

exactly what I was thinking

and on top of that what happens with a proven bad actor

would they be allowed to just jump to a new instance to harrass people?

you actually think corporations will always keep their word, don’t you

and that somehow Google acting like it does is like some fluke or one bad apple or something, rather than Google acting in ways very normal and common to corporations

tbf, that’s every social network isn’t it?

they’re actually asking, so be serious

wait, again??

the former’s honestly a godsend in setting up alt accounts
