tangential but I've given up on managing cookie preferences on most sites

I installed cookie autodelete and allow sites I care about, then let the rest get purged when I close their tab

it's probably not perfect -- they could still build a profile based on IP address, browser fingerprint, etc. -- but I figure it at least makes it harder for a lot of em

plus I'm not on Facebook or Google or the other big advertising platforms so that helps

oh such hope

in a week IntegerThatTracksOneThingForOnePurpose will be an object tracking 30% of the game state and mutated in 15 places without ever being renamed

it's hard work! I struggle with it myself, everyday

here's a secret, though: you're good, actually, even if you don't Do Thing. I will believe this for you, even if your brain won't

I'm with HE on this one. KF is absolutely against their ToS, and if the various middle providers between HE and KF aren't going to step in, they're within their rights to drop that traffic.

At this level the Internet is still somewhat decentralized. KF can continue to find other hosts and ISPs that condone their horror, and said providers and peers have the right to drop them for being terrible. KF could build a datacenter, register their own ASN, negotiate peering agreements, broadcast routes, and other providers could still refuse to peer with them. I think this is good, actually.

but what about The Slippery Slope? next conservatives will be making ISPs take down vulnerable minorities! shouldn't legislation be handling this?

The conservative folks are already attacking LGBTQ+ and any other minorities they want via legislation. Why would anyone think this is a good argument?

where doing it man

were MAKING THIS HAPEN

have you ever tried to recreate a simple shell pipeline in Python

My issue is not with the individuals portrayed, but with the community, the framing, and the instance's administration. My understanding is that the blahaj admins have similar issues.

But sure, have fun arguing with the strawman you've constructed.

The point of federated instances is that they can make their own decisions around federation, moderation, administration, etc.

This post is not intended for negotiating and arguing about this decision. This is the admins of this instance letting members know of a decision they've made. If you're a member here, cool, this affects you. It's not going to change, though, so if you don't like it there's plenty of other instances that will continue to federate with lemmynsfw.

If you're not a member, this doesn't affect you, and your opinion is literally just noise here. Feel free to start a post decrying the prudish, authoritarian stance of the blahaj admins and espousing your need to allow CSAM adjacent material literally anywhere else.
