Butch implies they’re sapphic, tomboy does not.

Yep, it’s absolutely something we’d consider once database migration becomes possible

10/10 this is the future of Linux.

I hope it’s a future of Linux, not the future. I’m not a fan of atomic distros, mostly because if their reliance on flatpak and the like

The guy is defending a bigoted opinion. End of story.

Again, if you “have an opinion about transgender people” that involves taking away their rights, or putting them in harms way and that prioritises the needs of everyone else first, and the needs of trans people last, if at all, then you have a bigoted opinion. It’s a universal statement.

The person you were replying to described Nutomics position as “It’s hard for me to imagine a more agreeable and reasonable statement.” And as a reminder, Nutomics post was a statement complaining about pride flags on public buildings, calling transgender women “men” and stating that trans folk are a conspiracy/distraction pushed by the bourgeoisie, despite rich conservatives being largely responsible for the wave of trans hatred we’re currently experiencing.

That is pure transphobia.

I wasn’t talking about you, I was talking in general, and the specific context was the person earlier in this discussion, who you explicitly stated is not a bigot.

Good to see!

Open world games don’t hold me, because ironically, they tend to feel too small. When you can walk from one side of the setting to the other in real time, it all feels small.

All I read in these threads is effectively “WAAAH I don’t WANNA pay!”… Without realizing that the payment gave them something significantly more secure.

I’ve never used Plex, but the thing that stopped me from looking at it isn’t that it’s a paid service. It’s that it’s partially centralised, and starting to become hostile to its user base. This current change, locking down a previously free feature being an iconic example of that.

My partner and I fund two decently sized fediverse instances and a matrix instance mostly out of our own pockets. We do that precisely because we have both actively chosen to move away from centralised, user hostile social media platforms. And whilst Plex isn’t a social media platform, it is centralised and becoming more user hostile, and I won’t pay for that.

(And to be clear, I’m front of house, I’m not responsible for setting up our instances security :P)

Put it behind a reverse proxy!

I guess I haven’t noticed that. The non technically literate folk I know use smart TVs, or can download Jellyfin from an app store. Then they just use the URL when the app asks for it.

There’s no other configuring to do on their end.

As long as the technical person does all of the setup on their end, the non technical person only has to enter a domain and port in their jellyfin client.

That’s because from a mastodon perspective, that’s what they are!

They’re basically the same thing as gup.pe groups to them

You run it and then reboot. If that doesn’t fix it, then it didn’t fix it :\

Try enable-linger. As I understand it, the issue is related to the way Sway handles Wayland sockets, and enable-linger kicks things off before Sway is involved.

Can you compare groups output under both sessions?

Specifically, if you don’t show membership of sudo in your Sway session, try this

loginctl enable-linger lazarus

did imply that feddit.uk admins were slow to react and did not see this as priority.

That’s an accurate summary of my claims. No part of that suggests transphobia however.

who described your statement as mischaracterization.

Likely because said admin knew they were talking about it as a team and believed they were addressing my questions. They just neglected to tell me that part, and just stopped responding to me.

but Blåhaj can’t demand that their rules be enforced in other instances.

Didn’t ask them to, nor have I asked any other instances to defederate from feddit.uk. What I asked for is clarification of how they implement their own rules, in order for me to decide whether or not LBZ stays federated with them.

The truth is, transphobia is now legal in the UK. UK instance admins are in a hard spot, because removing transphobia that is institutionally protected in their own country is now a lot more complex.

However, it’s not more complex for blahaj zone. We don’t allow transphobia. End of story. And if the difficult situation feddit.uk finds themselves in means they will allow transphobia that aligns with the UKs legislation, I’m not going to tell them they should do otherwise. I would hope they do otherwise, but ultimately, it’s their call. However, if the call they make is to allow legal transphobia, we will remain defederated to minimise the transphobia that reaches the blahaj zone community.

And you won’t see me telling any other admins they have to make the same choice we do.

The power of federation is that people have the choice. If people, trans or not, are happy to wade in to debate with transphobes, there are options for them to do that. Or, there are instances like blahaj zone, where they don’t have to play whack a mole with every new transphobe that appears.

To be clear, at the time of defederation, they had not answered my question.

In response to my initial general question, I was told their preference is to let push back come via comments and votes.

I then provided links to posts in which someone explicitly stated trans women aren’t women alongside several common transphobic dog whistles. I pointed out that one of the posts has more upvotes than downvotes, suggesting that social pushback isn’t working, and asked for clarification on whether or not posts like that would be removed.

At this point, I got radio silence. I was not advised the admin team was discussing it, the posts were not removed and the admin who I was talking to was active elsewhere. After waiting nearly two days for a reply despite having mentioned this was serious enough to defederate over on two separate occasions, I made the assumption I wasn’t going to get a reply, and defederated.

I’m happy to write that off as miscommunication though, given that they were talking as a team. If they ultimately decide that posts explicitly stating that trans women are not women will be removed, we will refederate
