This seems pretty conclusive, I’m going to go ahead and defed. Thanks for all your input.

I imagine the low engagement is because everyone who uses it knows it’s a bot and treats it as read-only

I don’t think this is the case, others like [email protected] and @[email protected] get engagement, and the latter doesn’t even post memes which most lemmings engage with with little regard to community or user.

Is it actually causing any problems?

See my other comment, but nothing technical.

It’s pretty trivial to ignore/block it if you don’t want to see it. If it’s actually increasing our server bill or anything like that then it’s not worth keeping, but if it’s not causing any harm then why bother defederating?

It is easy to block, but new lemmings aren’t going to know all the platform features.

I’m not adamant about defeding though, if people are using it I’ll keep it around. There are other solutions to the issue of new users going to All, seeing a bunch of Reddit reports with no engagement and thinking the platform is dead. Like having new accounts block the bot by default.

Not much, other than the size of the post table in the DB, but that’s not the biggest tables so no need to worry. The only instance that I’d imagine to have a noticeable performance impact is lemmy.world, most of the server load is from users not federation.

The British left really needs to move on and stop trying to resurrect the ghost of Corbyn, it’s not 2017 anymore.

Turns out they lied, one book targeted at adults got moved from the welcome area to further back in the library. Truly an impressively incompetent bunch these Reform councilors.

They’re accepting the changes you’re making fine, you can see as such here.

Assuming my suspicion from the other thread is correct (that you’re running this in your house), you need to set up port forwarding between your router and the computer running Yunohost. Specifically ports 80 and 443.

Do you have ‘Show Post/Comment scores’ enabled in your account setting. (Click ‘Account’ at the bottom, then the cog icon in the top right).

I don’t see how that follows, like the joke is the dad buying his daughter a taser because the other guy is being a creep, but that’s your prerogative.

I’ll even concede that’s it’s not the worst song I’ve heard, but I just hate it.

No, this is a meme community and feddit.uk is a UK focused instance. I don’t know why a bunch of MRAs are going off in the comments about domestic abuse, it doesn’t even seem that related to the image posted.

I mean, you’re the one who brought up trans women in sports, admitted to not knowing anything about the subject, and then outright stated you didn’t care if you’re statements caused hurt, so I can see why you copped a (3 day) ban.

Also, your response to someone concerned about CSAM being posted was to say ‘I’m sick of people using “think of the kids” to justify strong moderation’ (paraphrasing), so you don’t seem like someone worth taking seriously.

That is a very normal bio you have there.

They’ve apparently been involved in Fedora since at least 2007 and the list of packages they maintain includes QT, so sure this isn’t some rando. Still, I doubt the backing of a low level contributor to the project will mean this proposal goes anywhere, especially the idea of replacing X11 outright when downstream packages like KDE (ironic) have indicated they won’t support it.

Do note, literally anyone can submit a change proposal to Fedora. This shouldn’t affect your view of the project.

https://azsky.app/ tries to use Bluesky’s feeds to simulate something like communities. I think it focuses too much on piggybacking off bsky content to be useful though, like forums and microblogs are different paradigms and a different UI isn’t going to change that.

Sign ups aren’t actually open though, but I can generate an invite code.

Honestly, less than 3K independent PDS is genuinely insane. That’s about 14,000 users per PDS provider. For comparison, if Lemmy had that same kind of concentration, there’d be 3-4 instances. PDS providers are also piss easy to host.

They’re included in the source code.

A conservative forum is a forum run by conservatives for conservatives and limits itself to conservative positions

Says who?! It can mean whatever you define it to mean. You’re just making stuff up, you’re no authority.

It’s almost like I was saying what I mean by conservative forum.

It seems you’ve changed your tune:

1. In response to the question “The instance is never an appropriate context and any such discussion whatsoever is prohibited?”: “Yes, …

It certainly looks like that when you cut my response off.

I’m done with this discussion, you’re not engaging in good faith and what you want from this place stands at odds with what the majority of feddit.uk’s users want this place to be. There has always been action on bigotry, you failing to notice doesn’t mean this place was ever some free speech absolutist debate club.

A conservative forum is a forum run by conservatives for conservatives and limits itself to conservative positions, feddit.uk is demonstrably not this. Feddit.uk is not many things, it’s not a conservative forum, it’s not a socialist forum, it’s not a biking forum. It’s a general purpose discussion forum that can touch on topics like conservativism, socialism or biking. This is a descriptive not prescriptive statement and I don’t see how a reasonable person would describe this place differently. I’m not going to list all the things this place is not as that’s an infinity long list.

Again, this place has always had rules on what isn’t allowed, including ‘no transphobia’. Polite bigotry is still bigotry, do you think we should allow race realists if they mind their Ps and Qs correctly? There are many who feel their bigotry — weather that be racism, sexism, homophobia — isn’t ‘unreasonable’, but even tolerant Britain doesn’t let them inject these believes wherever, social spaces like pubs and community events still limit what can take place in them. I don’t see why we should be more accepting of transphobia just because it’s more socially acceptable at the moment.

‘Philosophical discussion of trans issues’ is such a non-statment, say what you actually mean instead of hiding behind such meaningless rhetoric. The only things these guidelines ask you to do is not promote fear or hatred of trans people and that you aren’t allowed to say that a trans person’s gender identity is less valid than a cis person’s. These aren’t unreasonable asks and I wonder what reasonable ‘philosophical discussion’ this excludes, unless you’re just looking for ‘civil’ ways of calling a trans man a woman.
