I am very sorry you had to go through such a terrible experience.

It is my sincerest hope that you will be able to find a workable solution to this problem, from Lemmy or elsewhere.

I am (and have been) okay with admins taking any action necessary to accomplish the goals of the Beehaw project. So removing image hosting, implementing lemmy-safety, restricting federation severely, do whatever you need.

And please, also do whatever you need to care for yourself, including if it means needing to take a break from the site.

Whew! All clear, it’s a meme. Pack it up, people.👮‍♂️👮‍♀️

Organized chaos. Love it.

I don’t this is an extreme take. Lots of Lemmy users would be sad to see Beehaw leave even if the reasons for leaving are understandable to them.

For me, the value of Beehaw was that there was a place on the internet where people could converse with mutual understanding and without judgement. I think such a space still exists here, but has faded a little when mixed in the context that Lemmy as a whole has gotten a bit more combative and falling into the same ragebait kind of traps Reddit conversations tended to go.

Through Beehaw I also became more knowledgeable in the LGBTQ+, disability, neurodivergence and feminism spaces, just by reading the posts and only occasionally adding a comment seeking better understanding, to which my questions were answered openly and honestly. I don’t want Beehaw to grow just for the sake of growing, but having Beehaw around I think will help internet users at large be able to learn about and sympathize with these causes simply by being there.

I’ll admit the wording of the post made me react as if these potential changes were imminent. I will respect any decision the admin team makes, and I encourage you to continue to stick to the core ideas of Beehaw to which you’ve written extensively about, while being able to balance your own lives and mental health.

The idea I’ll throw in the ring is to introduce one of the Automod programs (example), which can help keep the designated safe-space communities more tightly moderated, and address some of the issues of moderation granularity. For example, a user/instance whitelist could be instated as to who can post to the protected communities, with all other comments removed. An application process can be instituted to add to the whitelist.

I’m a big proponent of federation and the Lemmyverse. While it would be sad for me to see Beehaw leave ActivityPub, I’ve always said that the admin team should do what they think is best for themselves and Beehaw and I will respect such decisions.

I probably wouldn’t make a new account on another service because that would require a new app on my phone, but I’m OK with that if the idea of Beehaw prospers in another space.

@PenguinCoder @admin If I may suggest something on Lemmy as a stopgap measure, Beehaw can enlist the help of one of the AutoMod programs of Lemmy, so that any comment not on an approved user or instance list are removed on the specific “safe-space” communities. It might take some testing/tinkering but this may give you some of the granularity in moderation that has been requested.

Your conduct here is indicative of why you might not have been accepted into Beehaw or had mod action taken against you. I can understand your frustration, but federation (as it is right now) is a two-way street: The servers share posts, but users are expected to behave according to the rules of the server they are posting to.

You are capable of not posting in Beehaw, and you are welcome to block Beehaw communities as you wish, if you don’t like Beehaw’s rules, mods, or expectations we have on your behaviour.

You’ve got a good point, but it’s still evident from the article that Musk believes in a giant load of nonsense, is rash and impetuous, and has no idea how to take care of a company and its people, even if it was supposed to present his characteristics in a positive light.

Classic Canadiana!

Echo Beach… far away in time.

I mean it’s a tracker, after all… naming it “Privacy Sandbox” doesn’t change what it is. It’s as much use as a privacy tool as a wrench is for sewing.

Shows how much multinational media companies care about their non-english audience.

My suggestions were limit number to 5 user applicable tags, communities having a whitelist of tags, and an instance’s slur filter applying to tags.

Ah OK, so the cancellation/change fee is the price of the new ticket, haha.

Yes, I get it. I included the example to confirm if that would be apply correctly and to assist my understanding.

My commits comments end up like this most of the time

Rentlar committed: Fixed a, b, c, changed file x, added y improvement, deleted unnecessary z

– 15 minutes later – Rentlar committed: Shit I broke something, fixed.

– 10 minutes later – Rentlar committed: fix the damn formatting complaints

That video is hilarious. The turret and barrel look like this after firing:

Many payment providers would want websites to implement CAPTCHA for blocking spam and fraud attempts.

I’m sorry, but you’re just going to have to walk to a store and pay in cash if you don’t want to have any data tracking done at all. Online you’ll often have to pick one or the other: data tracking, or flimsy security/data protection. The phone solution is appropriate in my humble opinion, but you’re welcome to hold your own views on your principles. If you’re hard set against a company tracking ANYBODY via 3rd parties to that level, then I bet you will be very hard-pressed to ever find a computer through an online marketplace from ANY company that will fit that bill perfectly and suits your other needs.

I don’t know if there are European regulations that prevent it but I could see the cancellation fee being like 25€, lol.

Neat idea and concept. I have a question about it.

When you upgrade something in a way that strictly adds to it (in a functional sense), is that still a destruction and creation? I suppose in some way you destroy the idea of what it was before the upgrade, and afterward you have created the upgrade state. Is this what is meant?

As a quick tangible example, if you have a computer with 2x 8GB RAM sticks and 4 RAM slots, then add an additional 2x 8GB, nothing physically was lost but you lost the empty slots that could have increased to a different amount with other RAM sticks, until you remove/replace the sticks. I’m not the best with philosophy so I’m using this example for my understanding. You can tell me if this is consistent with your premise.

I mean, go ahead, fork it, I can’t stop you from doing that.

The reason why people still use the main fork is that at least someone is there fulltime making sure lemmy works. Now all the issues that were in Lemmy are now the responsibility of you and the people you convinced to develop for your fork to fix. On top of that, problems caused by the fixes you made also have to be fixed.
