A remote user that is banned from this instance will also be banned from the communities on this instance, and those community bans federate, so they can’t interact with remote versions of the community.

They can still see the content in the community though. I think there is a gap around communities that they had never interacted with. They can’t subscribe to those communities because of the instance ban, but I think in theory they can still post to them, but that content will only be visible on their remote instance. I’m not certain of the details of this particular edge case though…

Could I make a feature request that would make my life as an admin much easier? Would it be possible to add links to the local URL, the canonical URL and a lemmy redirector like lemmyverse.link in the share button for posts and comments?

When trying to deal with spammers etc and sharing content with other admins, it’s currently quite difficult to expose a URL that the remote admin can use

Wait, am I meant to announce my departure when I’m at an airport? I haven’t been doing that…

As in pushing back and making noise when people post stuff that helps keep her relevant.

If I have a tool for decreasing the amount of harm she does, this is it.

Will it make much difference? No, but if a single person hesitates before posting potter stuff in the future, then it helped a little

This is what aiming at her looks like.

tfw I’m on an instance without downvotes!

As long as you can accept that many people don’t want to see Potter memes and can accept a little pushback, you’ll be doing better than most folk.

They’re also front ends. They don’t give you a single universal fediverse account that crosses fediverse platforms

Keeping her relevant in popular culture is supporting her financially, politically and socially, because her relevance influences both her wealth and her political clout.

And I’m going to pushback against that. In this case, it was a single line snarky comment that referenced the meme in question. In response, I got 5 or so responses from people, each of them multi paragraph long, insisting on telling me just how it’s actually ok to post Rowling stuff.

And from my perspective, if you’re ok enough with Rowling to not say anything when a Rowling meme is posted, you should also be ok enough with someone posting a snarky one liner in pushback against it.

But if folk are ok with a meme that entrenches the relevance of a virulent transphobe, but a snarky response to that meme warrants a multi paragraph response, then it might be time to re-evaluate priorities…

If it were against the rules, I’d have reported it.

Instead, I made a snarky comment, because even though it’s not against the rules, the less Rowling in the world, the better.

I, like many folk, just want to see less of Rowling, not more. That’s all

Kinda like posting a harry potter meme in a community full of trans folk…

Yerba mate and dulce de leche (though not together)

Yeah. It feels like software from a previous generation that has cool functionality, but just doesn’t have the usability it needs to be the center of a daily fediverse experience

Friendica.

In theory, it’s perfect, and just what I think the fediverse should be, but it’s terrible to run as an admin.

Because you are trans yourself, and are clearly working through your own stuff, I’m not going to ban you for merely holding transmed beliefs. You’re welcome to talk about those beliefs and your experience with them in terms of self acceptance, especially in an effort to challenge and dismantle them. Where it becomes an issue is if you express those beliefs in a form that invalidates other trans folk. That’s a single strike ban. No warnings.

A trans med is someone who believes that all trans people have crippling dysphoria and need or want gender affirming surgeries. They believe that trans people who don’t fall in to those categories aren’t really trans.

It normally comes from having a lifetime of dealing with crippling dysphoria, where gatekeeping of trans identities is normalised. You see a lot of it in 4chan communities, but also in conservative countries that gatekeep who can and can’t access transition care.

Trans medicalism is gatekeeping, and it is absolutely not welcome on any blahaj communities.

I will warn you now that you will receive an instance ban from all blahaj communities if you engage in any form of trans medical gatekeeping

I don’t bother anymore. The curls have defeated me. It’s too much effort to straighten
