I’ll be dropping the femme expressions I used to love. It’s not safe, and now I have to “man up” and protect my family as best I can. Fascism is not a working system, and a lot of very good and vulnerable people are going to get targeted by bigots every time our undemocratic assholes need to distract from their failures.

The next four years are going to be hell, and I have no idea what to do.

“They” include a shocking number of good people that are about to experience fascism against their will. Please don’t dance on the grave of victims.

It makes sense if you are a telecom company that refuses to upgrade infrastructure to handle more subscribers.

Steam support usually makes exceptions for situations like this.

Sounds like serious insecurity. A lot of these memes are more along the lines of queer folk finding an accepting community and having fun posting things that would normally result in cyber bullying.

Also the boykisser thing has always just been a joke. Don’t take it as an insult or something.

As an admin of furry.engineer, pawb.fun, and pawb.social (our lemmy instance) i have to concur. After just a few months, i’m just… tired.

Keeping the hardware happy is easy and fun, but moderation is nearly impossible. Also the waves of reactionary argumentative users from instances with open sign up are getting out of hand.

I’m about ready to switch to whitelist federation personally, but would need to build said whitelist. I will monitor and see where beehaw goes from here, because if our moderation team agrees, we will probably take similar action.

I have no faith in the lemmy devs to take these issues seriously. Has anyone looked at kbin to see what is different in terms of moderation?

This tracks with what I found when looking into defederation. Calling them leftists is kinda falling for their deception.

They are authoritarians and use the cloak of leftism to defend authoritarian governments. They do not argue honestly and they brigade, coordinating on hexbear in plain sight. I defederated my two instances a while back for these reasons.

What a telling perspective.

This kind of issue is why pawb.social is not open registration. These low effort trolls cause a lot of problems, and i don’t want my server to be responsible for this crap.

A reminder that open registration on even a single federated instance means that having 50 sockpuppets to upvote yourself is trivial. Scores here should not be taken as consensus

Marriage comes with legal ramifications at this point that in some states civil unions do not provide. The talking points of marriage being a Christian invention are pretty revisionist at at best, but I am willing to believe you are simply uninformed.

Also, early translations of the Bible do not support it being against homosexuality, but rather feminine males who cut their beards. Still pretty bigoted and surrounded by prohibitions of mixed fabrics and shellfish though.

Also, please refrain from using burner accounts and botted upvotes in the future for your concern trolling.

Edit: autocorrect is awful
