Disabled people are not going to all agree on everything, especially when they are pretty diverse. Some will like gen ai, and some will not.

when a website password breeds

I didn’t know passwords could reproduce, is that how password generators work? /j

Can you put a content warning for gore on your comment? Sorry to ask, but there are annoying, rather pathetic anti-vegan trolls that try to get vegans banned. You can show prepared meals with meat in them or even raw processed meat, but not the actual process. Don’t want people to have feelings when they look at meat after all. Unfortunately if you mention veganism outside of a vegan community, you will attract this troll.

As others said, you would have to message the mods of the community or admins of the instance that banned you. Looking at your modlog, I don’t think these can all be overturned since some are too blatant. But I guess you won’t know until you try. In the future, only participate in communities you are interested in after having read the rules, otherwise it just seems like your intentions were to troll.

Considering that Bethesda refused to roll in the community bug fixes with their rereleases of Skyrim

IIRC Bethesda lets mod creators own the rights to their mods so Bethesda can’t just roll in the bug fixes into the actual game without the mod creator’s permission. I know the Skyrim unofficial patch is ran by a team (Arthmoor) obsessed with DMCA’ing other people as well as just being dicks in general. Some of the “fixes” aren’t really fixes and just what the team personally thought how the game should be.

Margaret Atwood used real life events and history in The Handmaid’s Tale. She didn’t invent it or make it up, she used inspiration from events that already happened or were happening while she wrote the book. You are just seeing what happened in history, in the past, happen again in the present.

The state I was born in has a public birth record, everything about me was already on the internet before I was an adult. I started trying to get my online info removed as an adult but it is like a game of whack-a-mole plus I get the patronizing: “all info we have is public record, we’re not doing anything wrong.” Then when I vote, the voting registry is public so even more up-to-date info of me gets leaked online 🫠 I froze my credit since I’m paranoid.

As for the government, well they already have all of my info, not much I can do about that. They’ve been spying on their citizens for decades, their surveillance expands more and more as time passes on.

I recommend against Hawaii. It’s not exactly self sustaining since there are too many people living there. Housing/rent is crazy high so there are many homeless. Everything is much more expensive. Jobs can be hard to find. The islands are sinking. Storms still hit every season. Depending on the island, you may be dealing with volcanic eruptions and vog. And I do believe their coral reefs are bleaching. It sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. Then factor in the locals, they only want locals living there and to restore their Hawaiian Kingdom, #GoHomeHaole. Best to pick somewhere else.

I don’t think they are getting paid, but they are from lemmy.world. They are known for open signups that invite trolls, power mods, conservatives, etc. The instance has a lot of US people, the kind that think democrats are leftists. I see a lot of what I didn’t like about reddit in lemmy.world.

Tankies are the biggest problem, even though most instances have defederated from them, and here we have a community dedicated to screenshots of their community where we can dunk on them even though dunking is actually really bad since tankies do it /s. By that logic shouldn’t the CSAM instances be the biggest problem? Sure most instances defederated them but they exist, along with far right instances.

EDIT: Nevermind, OP has spent weeks complaining about tankies. There is no getting through to that. I think lemmy has more worse problems than tankies. Also meanwhile on grad welcomes conservatives but it’s all good because at least they aren’t tankies right.

Nah, I’ve got a zoomer relative that has learned helplessness around computers. They have their own computer for gaming and need me to hold their hand through everything. I tell them to web search, they say they don’t understand what anything means, so I have to hold their hand through web searching to fix their problem. If something doesn’t work from steam when they double click it, they can’t figure it out. They get an error message at any point and their only solution is to bug someone else about it. I refuse to solve their problem without telling them to web search it, that is how you are supposed to learn. It’s super annoying so I started telling them “idk, google it.” They still bug others instead now.

I also have a zoomer friend older than my relative that is also a PC gamer, they are slightly better but still need people to guide them through screen share.

Wikipedia lists this as the original:

When the Nazis came for the communists, I kept quiet; I wasn’t a communist.

When they came for the trade unionists, I kept quiet; I wasn’t a trade unionist.

When they locked up the Social Democrats, I kept quiet; I wasn’t a social democrat.

When they locked up the Jews, I kept quiet; I wasn’t a Jew.

When they came for me, there was no one left to protest.

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me.

Thanks, I appreciate it 🙂

If I remember correctly, downvotes were supposed to filter out spam and other unwanted content, now it is a disagree button.

I just heard about it today, I’m hoping it takes off.

I’ve been waiting for this for so long. It’s no secret there’s mostly men on lemmy and most things gravitate towards them. At this time, I would not recommend lemmy to any of my friends who are women. I don’t think lemmy really appeals to women or has much to offer them. I hesitate to share perspectives as a woman because I know there’s a big chance it isn’t going to be taken well and won’t be welcome.

This is like a yes and no. There is a lot of communist talk, I’ve added comrade to my dictionary thanks to hexbear because I like the sound of comrade more than friend or buddy. They are very pro-Palenstine and hate Zionism. They also don’t find Ukraine too favorable. But there are disabled, mutual aid, movie nights, lots of shit posting, dunking, and as you said trans and em_poc communities. There is a shock sometimes, like on 9/11. They hate the US, this is ok for me because I also hate our government. You can wish death on execs/wealthy assholes without getting banned. There is a culture, lots of emoji with esoteric meanings, and you will get banned for saying certain things like comparing China’s president to Winnie the Pooh. Generally they favor China to an extent and the Soviet Union to an extent. But you will also get banned for transphobia, they are protective of their trans users/comrades. And they are pro-vegan, anything with animal products needs a content warning. Many things need CW, but I am ok with that. They also introduced me to Disco Elysium, which is an amazing game. Hexbear is … unique.
