OP, please edit your title to make it a question.

Is arguing "The west does not just send weapons. Europe also helps Ukraine in other ways" nationalism? ( lemmy.dbzer0.com )

I got banned from “World News @ lemmy.ml” because of “Nationalism”, because I argued that especially Europe does not just send weapons to Ukraine, but does also support Ukraine with the injured, with money and with a perspective after the war… My comment got deleted, too…...

What gets you downvoted?

What sort of post or comment gets you downvoted the most? Especially if you don’t think it’s bad behavior in the first place, or don’t care. Does not have to be on Lemmy, but we are here… One of the good things about Lemmy IMO is that it’s small enough to see the posts that are unpopular. If you do “Top Day” on...

I believe this is a thing in Quebec.

from …sbs.com.au/…/canadian-culture-naming

In Quebec, the Civil Code requires parents to assign their child only one surname (either a single or compound surname) derived from their respective surnames. Compound surnames may not have more than two parts, with or without hyphens. Thus, a couple named Joseph BOUCHARD-TREMBLAY and Marie DION-ROY could give their children the surnames:

  • BOUCHARD
  • TREMBLAY
  • DION
  • ROY
  • BOUCHARD-TREMBLAY
  • DION-ROY
  • BOUCHARD-DION
  • BOUCHARD-ROY, and so on.

In Quebec, the law provides that spouses retain their respective birth names when they are married.

Why is lemmy.ml still advertising as an instance for foss and privacy enthusiasts when its not ?

Lemmy.ml has fully went communist even their application needs you to copy paste a part from a communits book and that’s ok by me every politkcal group has their own instance and has the right to do as they wish . But they should really change their about from foss and privacy advocated to communist leaning ....

Why social media became an unlikable place ?

No hate to anyone, but imo, social media has lost the original meaning for which it was founded. It was created for communicating with people, but many have become completely absorbed in it and forgotten how to live and talk in reality. There is so much to learn from these platforms beyond mere amusement, but they have become...

Bluetreefrog Mod ,

Isn’t that we are trying to create here with the fediverse? Social media that the users want, not what large corporations.

There have been many varieties other than that one. We must be getting to them before you see them, which is good.

NBN switched half of my town to fixed wireless at a higher cost than FTTN just to get ‘bums on seats’ to make coalition pollies look good/less bad.

Let me put that another way.

I got a worse service, at a higher cost to the government, AND a higher cost to me, just so it could happen 6 months earlier.

I would have been happy to wait, and now FTTP is off the table for me.

Fuck 'em.

How would you put into words what gender means to you apart from societal gender roles and expectations?

I know that it has significant meaning to me but I struggle putting it into words to explain it to other people (especially other dya cis people). So like a few years ago I was thinking about if I may be trans femme. I have since realised that no, actually I was just struggling with it for a while because I don’t relate to the...

Why do posts frequently get removed on Lemmy when Reddit would not remove them?

If a topic is in any way controversial, there’s a good chance it will get removed, when I’m sure the same content wouldn’t get removed on Reddit. I know it depends on subs and instances but I mean more generally, and for example AskLemmy vs AskReddit. Reddit seems to have more leeway for things, whereas Lemmy doesn’t and...

Bluetreefrog Mod ,

My first point is that Lemmy/Kbin is a community run community. The moderators are volunteers, and so are the admins. Please keep that in mind. We have families, jobs, and other commitments. Moderating is something we do to contribute to that community, not something we are paid to do or have to do. It’s not a power trip, it’s a gift of unpaid labor.

My second point is that many posts/comments are clearly follow the rules, or clearly break the rules. But some sit in a grey zone where it’s not entirely clear. Whether such a post/comment breaks the rules might be a matter of perspective, might require the mod to try to guess the intent of the author, or might require consideration of detail that is not explicitly stated in the rules. For a particular post/comment, the author might think it was reasonable, but what they may not know is that we received reports from other users. Ultimately, someone has to make that call, and that’s what mods do.

[email protected] is the largest community I help mod, so I can really only talk about it, but from what I’ve seen mods try to moderate fairly, reasonably and in the best interests of the community. That’s why sometimes you might see a post from a mod asking for community input into how to apply the rules.

Some of your recent posts, including this one, are examples of ones that tend to sit in the grey zone. The nature of the questions, and the way that you frame them could be interpreted as spam, or as enabling pedophilia, as astroturfing, or as in the case of this post outside of the intent of the community (I’ll let it slide because it’s important discussion about community governance). On the other hand, they could also be interpreted as entirely reasonable questions that fit the community. Only you know your intent, so the mods have to make a call based on what they can see on their screens. That tends to be done on the basis of balance of probabilities, NOT beyond reasonable doubt.

For this community, I disagree that topics are removed if they are controversial. They are removed if a mod thinks they break the rules, or the TOS, or are outside the purpose of the community. The moderation in other communities may differ however.

Not so much pupil dilation, but when the color and texture of someones eyes suddenly grabs all of you attention.

Bluetreefrog OP Mod ,

We are part-way there. Some basic controls have been implemented. I don’t want to get too specific as then they can set out to circumvent them. It shouldn’t affect most genuine community members overly much.

Bluetreefrog OP Mod ,

Maybe. Some discussion going on at the moment about how to handle it.

Might be worth mentioning on !fediverse

CSAM Emergency Contact

Last night I was exposed to CP and I am a victim of childhood sexual abuse so it really hit hard and made me instantly nauseous. I got a reply from the mods that my post was removed and the CSAM content was already gone by the time I made the report. It also said in the reply I got that If I made complaint I may be banned! WTH...

Bluetreefrog Mod ,

Hi OP. I’m sorry that you were exposed to CP. Thankfully I didn’t see it before it was purged, but I’m sure it was distressing, especially for someone who was a victim.

I feel that you post is important, but this is not really the appropriate community to raise it. Can you please re-post in [email protected]?

Bluetreefrog Mod ,

OP, I sincerely hope this is not an attempt at sealioning. I’m gonna give you the benefit of the doubt for the moment.

OP, incorrect community. Please post in !tipofmytongue

Where can a Boomer catch up on current computer/software technology?

I have an eight-year-old laptop that needs replacing and I’m paralyzed. What are the most reliable ones now? Do I need a desktop for CAD? Pros and cons of operating systems (and where do I find them?) Browsers ditto? Where do I find answers that aren’t just product marketing?

How to pull rocks out of pipe in the ground?

My mom has a hole in the ground that she puts her clothes drying hanger in. Like this. The hole in the ground is a 2" or so pipe, set in concrete. The pipe has filled with gravel. Anyone have a tip on getting the rocks out? I can only get so many out using my fingers and then trying to use a set of chopsticks.
