I just want to inject something here.

This community and others like it exist on blahaj, because this instance focuses on the needs of trans and queer folk first and foremost. And so, trans and queer folk expressing honestly held opinions, are given space to do so.

I've had a chat to the lead mod of that community to address the way moderation is communicated, but I don't plan on telling them what they can communicate. These folk are going to experience the results of the election first hand too, so I'm not going to tell them that they're not allowed to deal with the situation in a particular way.

We have a group for armed queers here too. I'm strongly anti gun myself, but this group too is run by queer and trans folk with genuinely held beliefs trying to deal with a world that is turning against us more and more. I want them to have space that is explicitly inclusive and protective of their needs, even if I don't agree with them, because trans solidarity is the goal.

when you report someone, who receives the report? Mods on my instance? The mods of the specific community I'm reporting from?

When a report is made, it goes to three instances.

  1. The instance of the person making the report
  2. The instance of the account being reported
  3. The instance of the community in which the content was posted

Each instance only gets a single copy of the report and that report can be actioned by the admin of the instance the report is on, or moderators of the community. Only a single report is generated for each instance even if it meets multiple criteria, and it is one report per instance, not one report per admin/moderator. Marking a report as complete on one instance does not mark it as complete on another instance.

If a report leads to content removal, that removal will only federate if the reported content is removed by a moderator of the community, or by an admin of the instance that hosts the community or the user. If removed by any other admin, the removal doesn't federate to other instances, and is purely removed for local users.

Both? Which is to say, after an amazing start, it went downhill when it was sold to yahoo. It suffered there for years. These days, its owned by SmugMug and is improving, but still isn't what it used to be

Another language. It changes the way you see the world

 

I've been using flickr on and off for 20 years now, so my flickr time stream gives me a nice snapshot of how my photography has changed and improved over the years.

In theory, I've got all of my old photos available, but on flickr, the ones I posted are the ones I considered my best at the time. So my flickr timestream gives me an perspective on my photography that the 10's of thousands of photos in my home collection does not.

It's been really interesting going back through my old photos and seeing the change first hand...

As a vulva owner, for me, the big win with the bidet isn't the butt.

Either way though, the goal is to get clean with water, instead of a dry piece of paper, and then use either toilet paper or a dedicated towel to dry down the now clean area.

Just like with a shower. You don't clean yourself with the towel. You get clean with water, and then dry with a towel

At the moment, fish doesn't know what to do with run0. When that changes, I'll start using it :)

[–] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yep, we will be!

I own my computer. But on Windows, it doesn't feel like that...

Here's a Mara and baby Mara in Argentina

[–] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 days ago

Maras are pretty flighty, but if they're used to people, yeah

Here's me in the "other" category

Soda Stereo from Argentina, and Monsieur Periné from Colombia

Thanks to the lovely Heatherhorns (https://trello.com/b/8dvKmvtc/commissions) we have a new icon! We'll be updating the instance icon soon!

So, with the new fediverse canvas project just around the corner, it's time for our new shonk to represent!

I run a raspberry pi that identifies birds by their song, and records time, date, and species etc in an SQLite3 database.

The rpi app comes with some basic reports, but I'm wanting to expand on them, so that I can show monthly/yearly trends etc.

On windows at work, I'd use something like Power BI, but a) it's windows and b) it's overkill for my current needs.

I've only recently moved entirely to linux, so I'm not really sure of what the linux alternatives are, and I'm looking for suggestions :)

unixsocks needs new mods (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
submitted 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) by ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone to c/unixsocks@lemmy.blahaj.zone
 

Most of the current mods are inactive, so if you're interested in helping run this community, please drop me a line on matrix, via DM or here!

I'm looking for someone that has an established history both on the threadiverse, and within this community. Ideally, you'll already have a lemmy.blahaj.zone account, but if you do not, you will need to create an alt here

Last year, blahaj zone did really well! Lets see if we can do it again!
