The concept of absolute truth is, ironically, the lie that exists at the heart of thiest religion. It provides a comforting certainty to them where they don't have to do any thinking or work out what their own opinions are on a given subject - they can just claim there is a set of absolute truths and that their particular god is the sole arbiter of that truth.

Our Anti-Hate Music Campaign, Satan Not Hatin' Signs Up Its 200th Participant And Radio Show Announced (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

Last week, our "Satan Not Hatin'" campaign - set up to challenge hate and far-right extremism in alt music scenes - welcomed it's 200th opt-in participant. That's 200 artists, bands, record labels, promoters, venues and other organisations not prepared to tolerate hate.

As well as the documentary on the project (which is still being shot), a Stockholm based radio show, Trigger, have announced they will be dedicating an episode to the campaign and playing bands that are participating!

You can read more about the campaign at it's dedicated website and details of how to access the Trigger episode (either as its broadcast via their website or the next day on their Mixcloud account) are also on the site.

Bluesky continues to soar in c/fediverse@lemmy.world
[–] leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Mate, I was simply extending an analogy you introduced. I neither know (nor care) what the presence of a McDonalds does or doesn't do so don't Sagan me. Nor am I claiming mainstream social media is all arseholes. What I'm saying is that mainstream social media most certainly has the ability and propensity to make people into arseholes due to constant enshittification - part of which is the influencer phenomenon in my opinion and the need for growth at all costs.

I most definitely have reached out to lots of good people on the fediverse and had lots of great exchanges that follow both professional and 'hobby' based interests I have.

But here's the thing - you want growth? OK. I also have no issue with growth. But the best sort of growth in my experience comes organically. It happens at its own pace. The minute you start prodding it along with managed algorithms and all the other stuff mainstream social media now has you end up with an extended hate room. I don't miss Reddit or Xitter at all. I genuinely mean that. No more 'suggestions' of people to follow, no more manufactured outrage getting pushed to my feed, no more clickbait. Instead what I have now is a curated feed across multiple different types of experiences that I spent some time getting how I want them and dipping in and out of when I want to.

You're using words like 'ambition' and 'irrelevant' like the Fediverse is some sort of corporate entity. It's not - that's a point very much in its favour in the opinion of quite a lot of people on it. Contrary to your opinion that no one cares, lots do. What some of us don't care about is catering to a set of people who are paid to express opinions and who, it seems to me, over a period of time end up becoming Andrew Tate or Russel Brand.

There's no McDonalds in the town I currently live in, which is 20 minutes away from one of the largest cities in the country. It might come as a massive shock to you but I - and I think the majority of people - can survive just fine without a Mickey D's. Not having one doesn't make a place desolate, it makes it healthier. And if someone really wants a Big Mac, they can go and get one from elsewhere.

Do you see what I'm saying? This isn't the same place as that - it's quite nice to have a place online that still isn't. And for those that do want that, they can still spend time there if they chose to.

Maybe they should stop caring about visibility and engagement and concentrate on participating in, building and y'know enjoying a community?

Man Arrested for Creating Child Porn Using AI in c/news@lemmy.world
[–] leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I've literally got no idea what you're talking about or what your point is. Are you saying this person hasn't committed a crime? Because that's incorrect. Lots of jurisdictions have laws preventing things like CSAM generated imagery, deepfake porn and a whole raft of other things. 'Harm' doesn't begin and end with something done to an individual for a lot of crimes.

The purpose of a game is to play a game through a series of objectives and challenges.

Even if I grant you that the purpose of viewing CSAM is to see child abuse

Very curious to hear what else you think the purpose of watching CSAM might be.

it’s still less bad than actually abusing them

"less bad" is relative. A bad thing is still bad. If we go by length of sentencing then rape is 'less bad' than murder. that doesn't make it 'not bad'.

so implying that viewing such content would increase the cases of child abuse is an assumption I’m not willing to make either.

OK?

I didn't claim that AI CSAM increased anything at all. Literally all I've said is that the purpose of AI generated CSAM is to watch kids being abused.

Neither did I claim that violent games lead to violence. You invented that strawman all by yourself.

Sweden Rising - The Return of Satanistiska samfundet (sweden.globalorderofsatan.com)
 

We are delighted to welcome back our dear friends in Sweden, Satanistiska samfundet, as an official Order of Global Order of Satan after a hiatus of a couple of years. As the right-wing religious threat grows across Europe, Satanism in Sweden has seen an uptake in interest and after a surge in membership applications GOS Sweden are now ready to once again stand with us in active opposition. You can find them in the following places:

(side note - I'm hoping to get them active on the Fediverse too!).

Strange sudden issue rendering pages (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
submitted 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) by leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone to c/librewolf@lemmy.ml

Two days ago, LW started behaving very oddly. It suddenly stopped rendering pages - but only on some sites. For example, the default Lemmy skin is fine but the Alexandrite skin is not. The BBC website doesn't work either. A few others seemingly totally random.

The domain resolves and it makes the initial connection and then it takes up to a minute of doing nothing and then just craps out, unable to render the page. Checking the Inspector reveals no errors or warnings and the network inspector is making a connection but not loading anything other than headers and basic tags.

The page presents no errors it just shows a blank screen. <html> <head> and <body> tags load but nothing else.

All these pages work fine in all other browsers I've tested in (floorp, Mullvad, vanilla FFox and Brave).

Details: LibreWolf 128.0-2 (flatpak) on LMDE (Faye).

Any clues, pointers or advice very gratefully received. I love the browser and have it set up just how I like it so don't really want to switch to another.

Satan Not Hatin' and GOSPod Updates (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Firstly, in an amusing turn of events YouTube removed the latest episode of GOSPod from their site. The reason? The episode - the subject of which was Satanic conspiracy theories - briefly mentioned the antivaxxers and YT said we were peddling medical misinformation. We appealed but nope. You can still hear the episode in all other places listed here.

Secondly, the S8N Not H8N campaign now has its own dedicated website as its was just getting too big (over 130 participants now) for one page on the main website to cut it. You can find that here: https://satan-not-hating.com and we also have launched socials for it too if you want to follow them:

GOS UK Statement on the recent spate of far right racist violence across the UK (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

The far right, emboldened and enabled by political leaders such as Nigel Farage, are currently engaged in a wave of misinformation-driven violence that is in danger of engulfing the UK. See it for what it is - extremist thugs manipulating the totally unrelated murders of children to further their fascism.

They are using the tools of right wing social media outlets to organise and spread their misinformation and hate via the usual suspects - Tommy Robinson, Katie Hopkins, Andrew Tate, Elon Musk etc.

How can we fight back?

One way to effectively fight back is to support groups like Hope Not Hate and their 'Hold On To Hope' campaign: https://hopenothate.org.uk/hold-on-to-hope/ where you can sign up to lend support, keep abreast of developments and donate if you are able to.

If it is safe for you to do so, another way is to talk positively about multiculturalism on your social media presences and challenge the prejudices you encounter. This country was literally built by thousands of years of multiculturalism with hands and minds from many places and of many colours creating the very best of it. We must never let the far right deny that reality or allow their misinformation to gain a foothold.

EDIT: Here is a list of UK wide anti-racism protests being held this coming weekend: https://standuptoracism.org.uk/stop-the-far-right-national-day-of-protest-saturday-10th-august/

Grzegorz Braun vs. Global Order of Satan Poland (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

On December 12, 2023, within the corridors of the Polish Parliament, a scandalous incident occurred, exemplifying extreme discrimination and a lack of respect for the freedom of conscience and religion. During the ceremonial lighting of Hanukkah candles, Member of Parliament Grzegorz Braun extinguished them using a fire extinguisher. Following the incident, Braun gave an interview to the tabloid Super Express, justifying his actions by claiming that “the act that took place in the Parliament was a religious act, deeply satanic in nature” and that “it would be a betrayal of his principles to tolerate and ignore Satanism.” Thus, in the view of the Global Order of Satan, Braun’s act resonated not only as anti-Semitic but also as anti-Satanic. For this reason, one of the members of our community has filed a complaint with the prosecutor’s office, citing a justified suspicion of committing a crime under Article 196 of the Penal Code(commonly referred to as ‘the insult to religious feelings’) to the detriment of one of our members.

'Safe' Metal Bands and a campaign I'm part of (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

So, as well as subbed to this Community, I'm also moderator of !globalorderofsatan@lemmy.blahaj.zone which is a Community for an atheistic Satanist organisation I'm a member of.

We recently (re)launched our Satan Not Hatin' campaign which we're running to try and tackle the incidents of hate (racism, homophobia, transphobia and Nazi shit etc) that sadly some metal bands put out. The campaign isn't just for metal bands, we also cover punk/goth/industrial/alt/indie too but the emphasis is metal bands. It's early days, but it'll continue to grow.

If you'd like to read more and see how you can help (if you'd like to) please visit the page or if you want to skip straight to the music, there's a playlist on YouTube | Invidious | Piped.

Potential Brave Pro Subscription model? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

It seems possible that Brave are building Brave Pro, which looks like its a subscription based service of some kind. A note on the Android implementation of the project reads (GitHub link):

"Implement the required runtime changes (profile settings, chrome flags, group policies, etc.) with the appropriate values that enable the Brave Pro experience. Using Brave in this mode with its default settings and making changes to the Brave Pro defaults require an active paid subscription.

When the browser has no active credentials for Brave Pro, the panel UI will promote the service and include the initial payment CTA. When credentials are present the panel UI will include the appropriate toggles for making changes to the default settings."

It also links to a private Google Doc.
