Right, I might've been more confused with your previous to last paragraph because using she/her pronoun as 'default' was and is a genuine feminist practice in French where gender neutrality is more difficult.

Anyhow, I would recommend not arguing your points like that - it just kinda smells like bad faith argumentation.

By calling reverse discrimination a far-right trope, I presume you mean complaints about reverse discrimination?

Yes, that would be correct. It's the basis of the Great replacement theory.

announcement reasoning

...no it wasn't?

Your last two paragraphs, especially the last one, feel eerily close to reverse-ism.

"Reverse-ism" usually refers to "reverse discrimination". It's a big trope in far-right circles and ties directly to the "Great replacement" theory.

It's unclear what your intentions were when you said this but it felt weird.

It's worth understanding that "agenda" has a negative connotation. In this context, it's used as a dogwhistle against women and queer people.

Because they hate/don’t want to learn rust and think Java is a superior language

You know, that's not what I've read. It's worth mentioning that it doesn't just use Java.

Don't call people "incredibly fucking stupid". Be(e) nice.

[–] Lionir@beehaw.org 4 points 1 day ago (4 children)

This reads eerily close to reverse-ism. Please don't do that.

[–] Lionir@beehaw.org 3 points 1 day ago

I explicitly chose that term because it’s not considered subjective by anyone, but especially not by the people who think gender-neutrality is somehow NOT political.

All words are subjective. "Non-technical" is not really the magic word you think it is. Could you clearly define it? I can't personally.

Do you think they’d stop being bad people if they couldn’t make an honest living? Would it be better or worse if they were on the street? Do you think they might resort to criminality also?

I don't think anyone deserves living in the street. I don't think they will stop being bad people whether or not I support them. It seems you're trying to move the goal post.

Do you feel better knowing they aren’t getting your money? Even at the cost of them ever doing anything good for anyone?

I feel better that they aren't getting my money because they cannot be empowered to hurt the people I care about. I think they can do good things without my support. This seems like a weird thing to say.


Also, this is clearly sealioning. It's really not a good way to make conversation.

I mean, to be fair, Skia appears to be good - Firefox and LibreOffice also use it for example. I believe GNOME Web will also use Skia in GNOME 47. It certainly seems that people are moving away from Cairo and into Skia. For what reason? I don't know.

I don't support bad people. Those bad people can change and become good people. Until then, why would I support and pay those that hurt my friends?

What I got was that there would be no Google or Mozilla specific code/libraries, but FOSS libraries for common media formats would be included so that the project can reach a wider audience.

AFAIK They use Skia, the rendering library made by Google so this does not appear true either.

 

Only ever had experiences with Reddit, Lemmy and very little bit of Discourse.

What did y'all think? First impressions? Thinking of continuing?

 

Here's a laundry list of sort with tons of tools we'd like to see

  • Role for approval of applications (to delegate)
  • Site mods (to delegate from admins)
  • Auto-report posts with certain keywords or domains (for easier time curating without reports)
  • Statistics on growth (user, comments, posts, reports)
    • User total
    • MUA
    • User retention
    • Number of comments
    • Number of posts
    • Number of reports open
    • Number of reports resolved
  • Sort reports
    • by resolved/open
    • by local/remote
  • Different ways to resolved a report
    • Suspend account for a limited amount of time rather than just banning
    • Send warning
  • Account mod info
    • Number of 'strikes' (global and local) and reports
    • Moderation notes
    • Change email
    • Change password
    • Change role
  • Ability to pin messages in a post
  • Admins should be able to purge
  • Filter modlog to local
  • Better federation tools (applications to communities, limiting)
    • Applications to communities to allow safe spaces to exist (people should not be able to just "walk in" on a safe space - similarly to follow requests in Mastodon in a way)
    • Limiting (Lock our communities down from certain instances but still allow people using our instance to talk to people from those instances)

Obviously considering the moment when this is being made - federation tools are our highest priority.
