That would be absurd and gross.

But, hypothetically, if a trans woman were to call herself that, would you then misgender her?

trucy is wondering why in the OOP it says

Edit: Image description for Brits:

I've read and joined a couple of discussions about this and in one of them, it turned out the people complaining about this ""pronoun issue"" were just bigots under the hood. I hope you're not one of them.

In the end, Blåhaj Lemmy's rules are to respect pronouns, no exceptions. You're posting in a Blåhaj community thread. This is just to inform you that if you want to continue to not be potentially banned instance-wide, you might want to not go through with your "threat" of not using someone's preferred pronouns.

Replace drag with a lesbian trans woman and suddenly the same argument of "not wanting to consent to playing into someone's kink" becomes INCREDIBLY problematic. This is of course not what you're doing. But in the end, it doesn't matter what someone identifies with or what their supposed kink is because of their choice of name. Judge what they're saying and doing, not who they are.

It's a per-instance setting. Downvotes just go into the void, here.

I also think it's a good idea. If downvotes were just used as a way for communities to self-moderate it might be nice, pushing things that are objectively not contributing anything valuable out of view. But in reality they're used as a disagree button at best, and in harmful ways at worst.

We just use the report button if something is truly out of place.

You're wrong. It does also mean corner.

Presumably this is because a block is different from the content being removed. It simply means the servers stop communicating with each other regarding new communities, posts and comments. This could allow the instance to be unblocked and the old content to continue existing – say for example when an instance has been acting badly, but it gets fixed some time later.

Blocked instances should probably not show up in search, but if you have a direct link to an old post, perhaps this should still be available? Not being able to block a community when its instance is already blocked makes sense, and probably doesn't matter if you mostly check for new content, but I can see it being a bother when its shows up in other situations. One could call this a bug, or an oversight, but I suppose it depends on what the intended result is.

Politicians decide things, but to actually make stuff happen, the government needs to collect taxes to pay for services that are then provided to the public. I think the idea here is to take out the middleman. You won't solve the problem country wide, but you'll help some people, and that's still worth it. Work together without like-minded people locally, be an inspiration, and show that it works. I've only been very briefly part of an activist group (specialized in food saving), so probably best to look elsewhere for good advice on how to do this well.

I didn't claim there wasn't a real person behind this. Did you check the profile you linked? They "wrote" an article titled "I asked ChatGPT how to overcome Imposter Syndrome". That already proves they use generative AI at least for some things. How do you explain the suspicious AI-like structure of the article?

It is my opinion that any "real" creator would not touch AI with a 10-foot pole, if just out of respect for fellow creators.

Well, they shouldn't. It makes them look less trustworthy.

The image is clearly AI generated, and the content looks incredibly suspicious as well considering the way it's structured.

I'm just going to report this.

Common cause for that issue is you mixing up the website/forum account details with your game account ones. Unfortunately those are separate. If you got the game from itch/Humble you should've gotten an email with instructions to set up your game account, if I recall, and you'd download it from there, rather than the website? Feel free to poke support if you're not able to get things working.

Yeah, it should not be part of the text just like line numbers shouldn't be part of the code on a code hosting site, yet it can be visible, no? Later it does recommend using $ to distinguish command and output. Is it now okay for a beginner to be confused about what it means?
