Not guilty isn't the same thing as "didnt do it"

From Wikipedia:

Fifteen others then came forward alleging similar abuse,[10] including Boston anchorwoman Heather Unruh, who alleged that Spacey sexually assaulted her son;[11][12] filmmaker Tony Montana; actor Roberto Cavazos;[13] Richard Dreyfuss' son Harry;[14] and eight people who worked on House of Cards.[15] The Guardian was contacted by "a number of people" who alleged that Spacey "groped and behaved in an inappropriate way with young men" as artistic director of The Old Vic theatre.


A judge in Los Angeles this summer approved an arbitrator's decision to order Spacey to pay $30.9 million to the makers of "House of Cards" for violating his contract by sexually harassing crew members.

Yeah he's still a creep/sex pest, just not a child abuser. As far as we know.

I thoroughly standby my opinion on the items we've disagreed on, but that doesnt make me loathe you or anything... We just have a different opinion. Mine, of course, is the right one, but that's a different matter ๐Ÿ˜€

Not entirely sure what you could have done to piss them off aside from them seeing your name and seeing red....

Nope, just in general I'd be against anything with lemmygrad until a more comprehensive/functional block option is in place

This is just telling people who have already said they aren't interested that they will have to deal with what they explicitly don't want for two weeks.

My answer/vote is the same. No.

Edit: And just to note, I'm sure there are a non-zero number of people who came to db0 specifically because of the "No tankie shit" rule and not being federated with lemmygrad, which is quite literally full of tankie shit.

Doing this without the option to actually effectively block is just....

IMO.

User flairs.

Edited to add: See "About voting rights and flairs" in the sidebar.

What I think is missing here from the argument is the community garden.

We grow (well, my wife does the bulk of the effort if I'm being honest, the jungle of vines out there I fully credit to her) a good amount of food. Herbs, beans, cucumbers, squashes, lettuce, tomato, carrot.... Every trip we grab more than we can use, or it will just go to waste.

We share with others who garden and some who don't, but around us do. They also give us kale, varieties of berries, and others that we don't grow.

You don't need a lot of plants to end up producing more than you can realistically use, even getting creative with their use (we've started making a lot of syrups). Sharing with your local community can make this all even more efficient, making better use of what's been planted.

Which is a long AF, adhd-laden way of saying "Community gardens / sharing is even better with efficiency imo"

How about waiting until after instance blocking is working nicely rather, rather than rely on the hope that it will be sorted out during that time?

I personally have zero interest in lemmygrad content, and would just block. I haven't had any real issues with hexbears at all, though some I've just tagged to never bother interacting with (FWIW, I've tagged users of other instances this way as well). So as long as they aren't randomly bringing in auth apologia to me, I generally don't care.

That said - I still vote no precisely because instance blocking is not as good as it should be yet. Until then I think its just inviting problems.

I'd vote yes after the tools are in place, not for when I expect them to be ready.

Edit: mobile kb typos.

Wireguard site-to-site, they already had an OK router I recommended to them so not much effort there.

Our National Parks are amazing!

For now.

Have to agree.

That .ml is so closely tied to development (and previously the first landing space) is problematic, there were a bunch of people asking if donations were purely to dev or if they supported the .ml servers at all as well, because they didnt want to provide any financial support to .ml.

And thats even aside from precisely the issue you mention.

I really think its one of the bigger reasons behind all the piefed support.

my point the Lemmy devs' tankie position is a liability for the growth of federated networks.

The responses to fundraising for Lemmy development recently is a perfect example of that
