Useful for trolls, less useful for bot spam from throwaway accounts

More moderators and admins

Thank you for the update. I honestly don’t mind if you’re not there in terms of federating out yet. As long as the plan for the project is to generate connectivity/community in some way, we’ll be better off for your project being here :)

The other part is, lemmy hides content from you unless you have the language enabled in your settings, and so, I have all languages enabled just so I can see all the content. And that makes navigating the language list really unwieldy without a default option

The content is coming from federation, so how is it being pushed to clubsall after blocking?

I blocked your instance based on your domain. But because you are using other domains to pull the content, you’re still receiving content from the domains you use that I haven’t blocked.

My request stays the same, give us some breathing room until some traffic threshold. Is that fair?

What is your plan for what clubsall will look like? I have no interest in killing a new and interesting platform for building community in the lemmy space. But if you’re just going to pull content from lemmy instances without giving anything back, that’s not building community…

Tell me you’ve got plans for something other than a content scraper, and I’ll happily work with you.

My concern is that you receive content from our communities without generating anything back

Defederated. If they start federating outwards, I’ll lift it

My time limit is about two hours. Anything more than that and I start getting bored, distracted and twitchy

I’m not sure I’d describe this graph as beautiful in any sense :\

Let me guess, you just watched The Diplomat? :)

At a guess, I’d say it’s confirmation bias

The thing is, when that happens, the mods/admins of the trolls new instance ban them there, without the original admin having to do anything.

Abandoned instances, or instances that simply don’t moderate, get defederated, so it’s quite manageable.

The only case where it’s not that clear cut, is where the troll is a big issue for one admin, but not another. Take trans issues for example. I have a zero tolerance policy on transphobia on this instance, but not all lemmy admins are as aware of the dogwhistles as I am, so I will block some users that other admins won’t. It’s not ideal, but it’s manageable, because I can stop their brand of transphobia from reaching my instance even if they’re not banned by the remote admin. And if that pushes the troll to create another account elsewhere to get through the instance ban, then that becomes harassment, and the other admins will act, even if they wouldn’t before.

Thus, the decentralized platform is rolling out a “more aggressive” policy on parody accounts that aren’t clearly labeled.

If it were decentralised, it wouldn’t be possible for the platform to set a network wide policy on parody accounts…

someone trying to sincerely answer a reasonable question

Yeah, that’s why you linked to transphobic hit pieces and described trans women in sports with hugely emotionally loaded terms

Because you’re reasonable

As I said from the beginning, your comment was fine unti you let some of your more transphobic opinions out in the final paragraph. That paragraph was not “reasonable”

I went through the numbers to highlight her performance is on par with the rest of her team, and you still think that I’m being unreasonable

As I said, you presented your position quite clearly, which is why I called you out

Yes, they’re designed to seem that way.

Which is why I earlier stated that my issue wasn’t with listing them, but specifically, the way you presented them.

I’ve also not presented my beliefs

You used the word “murdering” to describe a transgender woman playing sports with other women, despite her playing at a level comparable to them.

You absolutely presented your beliefs.

deleted by creator

This is a tricky issue, trans women in men’s prisons are also at risk

“Also at risk”

The fact that you equate cherry picked single instance anecdotes as comparable to entrenched violence and discrimination against trans folk as being somehow comparable is the part that makes it transphobia.

Murder was hyperbole

It was, yeah. Despite her “murdering” the opposition, from the very article you linked, Australia finished 5th.

There are 7 players on a handball team. She scored 23 goals across 6 games, for an average of just under 4 goals per game (3.83 to be specific).

The total goals scored by Australia in those games was 160, which works out to an average of 3.81 per Australian player across those 6 games. Her “murdering” of her opponents consisted of having a 0.02% higher average than her team mates.

The fact that you parrot lines like “murdering” and look at videos designed to make it look open and shut, whilst not bothering to investigate the reality of the situation is what makes it transphobic.

The whole article is discomforting and worth reading. But, while WPATH (what is supposed to, and claims to be and independent science based organization) was creating their guidelines:

An article posted on the economist, who has Helen Joyce, a vocally transphobic journalist as one of their senior staff. Linking to an article that has been mostly circulated on various transphobic websites, calling out WPATH for being biased and getting in the way of evidence based research? Whilst defending the Cass review, which has been widely called out by many international medical bodies for its own bias and inconsistent approach to evidence.

The fact that you’re worried about WPATH as the real issue here is telling…

Not the list, but the way you described them, as if these were things that actually happen…

They very much are…
