I thought Ada added you as a mod to this comm well after it's creation?

what popped into your head?

I'm on progesterone as prescribed by my doctor, as are many people I know or have conversed with.

You jest but I know trans femmes that use T gel to make their bits function fully still.

It can definitely be used as part of a HRT routine. If I were the artist, I woulda put "spironolactone" or "cyproterone" though, but I'm a talentless hack so this is the meme we got.

I thought part of the difference with piefed is that it's not a drop-in replacement that can hook into current databases, such that an instance would have to start afresh on a new subdomain, and users would have to sign-up again, re-subscribe to their communities, etc. Is that the case, or was I mistaken?

This is a poor take on how to deal with the tyranny of the majority, in my opinion. I wasn't saying it necessarily applied here, and was only bringing it up as a caution against absolute democracy. Here's a longer form example:

Say you have a software project that operates as an absolute democracy. Each and every new software feature that the developers work on is decided by a vote of all users and contributors to the project. For vote after vote, the feature "implement screen-reader support" is passed over for shinier and more exciting new features, after all the vast majority of voters don't use a screen-reader.

Wouldn't you say that it is fair if eventually the developers told the community "Nope, we're going to implement screen-reader support as the next feature"? Or do you believe the blind users should have to fork the project and implement screen-reader support for themselves? After all, they've been "free" to do that the whole time.

There are absolutely viable forks/rewrites of the Lemmy backend. Sublinks was the one I was keeping an eye on, but progress seems to have slowed down significantly on that. It's supposed to be a drop-in replacement for Lemmy that continues working with current apps.

Literally telling on herself that she's inactive for weeks to months at a time. But yeah, definitely Ada's fault for trying to actually moderate the largest comm on the instance. I think both sides here are at fault though, as I've seen (and been disappointed by) the way Ada moderates the matrix space she runs.

...impose rules that would never pass a basic yes/no poll...

I generally agree with your comment, but I wanted to point out that the tyranny of the majority can still be a major issue. For example, there are often times when a majority of people believe the opposite of what a small number of experts agree is the best course of action. You can see this in laws that suppress trans rights receiving wider public support, even when they go against medical best practices.

I don't understand why...

The lead devs of Lemmy seem hostile to significantly improving the moderation tools for both moderators and admins.

I was banned from lemmy.world for “personal attacks” for 3 days because of calling someone a “piece of shit” after they called me a “cunt”. The comment calling me a cunt wasn’t removed and the user hasn’t been punished at all by the lemmy.world admins.

The comments in question:

Lemmy.world modlog:

In the interest of full disclosure, this is my other comment that was removed:

And here’s the comment of that user I was referencing, in the Blahaj modlog after it was removed:

This feels like an overreach, especially when the admin clearly didn’t feel it was important to punish their own user for “personal attacks” in the same thread.

Hey friends, I see you just pushed another test flight build, cheers for all the new updates. However, I just tried changing the App Icon and it doesn’t work at all, just stays on the default one. I tried a bunch to see if it was just one of them glitching out, but none of them work.

It’s just an instance of reposting reddit links. These showed up in my All feed sorted by Hot even though there’s zero interaction. It just feels like spam.
