Drop Site is not a simple “substack blog.” It’s a new project created and run by journalists/founders from The Intercept who parted ways because of their mismanagement. Everyone including the journalist who shared this article has extensive experience as a professional journalist and bylines with major publications.

Is Time a blog because it runs on Wordpress?

Stuff along the lines of Luigi-posting. CTH was much more of a proper “all the left” community with everyone from soc dems on up that was largely just filled with anti-establishment shit posters. But, we loved John Brown etc.

It’s actually old hat. Users on r/cth (where hexbear came from) were catching admin bans for upvoting the “wrong” posts years ago.

The padding goes on the inside and they should be worn commando, too. Couple common mistakes with padded bike wear.

IIRC this is something that’s been getting rolled out poorly for quite a while now. They want to create a central login/authentication system (login.gov) for government websites, a generally solid idea, but the transition has been a bit of a mess everywhere it goes.

Nutomic has an instance ban on Hexbear. Otherwise it’s generally a bit of a sore point between them and ML/the devs that nutomic’s around at all.

Mullenweg has been blocking WP Engine hosting’s access to .org resources, and even stripping them of access to plugins they distribute there. Not the biggest fan of WP Engine from what I saw in their Advanced Custom Fields plugin buyout (they messed with the existing licensing and focused on monetizing the crap out of it), but things aren’t alright in the WP universe.

Originated and enabled well before there were other active Lemmy instances or possibly even federation of any sort. It was put in place to stop anti-trans harassment.

Plus AFAIK it’s only truly applicable within Hexbear itself. The main effect it has is that a Hexbear user can’t downvote anything on any instance with their account.

I’m pretty sure this is who they’re sourcing for the claim retracting it, but it’s been telephoned a fair bit: https://x.com/tshugart3/status/1813332364761968959
