lol who said anything about "pick up a gun and run around shooting people". Y'all are erecting some mighty tall strawmen.

Germans said the same in 1938

"Having manual ways to remove csam" means almost nothing. All of lemmy has a "manual way to remove csam". "closely working with NCMEC" can mean they just use the cloudflare mechanism which is just hash matching. Point is, it's very easy for a malicious actor to upload csam and then report them to patreon for it, without ever reporting it to them.

Sorry your links don't work it seems. Maybe those posts were deleted.

In any case, if their "automated" is just hash matching, it's just not going to cut it.

I wonder what kind of of csam detection they have. If they're only relying on hash matching, they've gonna get fucked from novel genai csam. This is why stuff like the fedi-safety exists which they could use as well

Are you lost? Or what is this related to? :D

This has wildly more impact than anything you're doing and what most people like you are doing (voting for more genocide)

Basically: Musk bribed trump a cool 250 mil, to go in and personally destroy all the regulatory agencies that would regulate his companies. His task now done, he goes back to ranting on Twitter.

Note that this doesn't work for everyone. I find that gamifying your own tasks is a bit like trying to tickle yourself.

This one requires a bit of background.:

Hexbears keep opening the_dunk_tank posts about our mods and our instance in violation of their own comm rules. That compels me to go in them and try to correct the bad faith disinformation being peddled about us.

In one such thread one commenter made a reply to me ending it with "disengage", which was a clear indication they didn't want to engage in discussion any more, which I respected.

Did you read the comments (both mine and of others?) we are just chatting, no salt down here. You think I'm salty, I think I'm not.\nMy post won't be reinstated, but we had a cheap laugh at the expense of your mod and had some sane discussions between ourselves, as far as I'm concerned this is a net win for me. You'll think we are all just a bunch of salty lunatics and that's your opinion.\nThere's no point arguing when both sides have unreconcilable viewpoints, our conversation ends here. Disengage.

Note that there's no indication of how disengagement works in any sidebars. And even their own Code of Conduct, merely states:

Any discussions may be opted out of by disengaging.

So it appeared to me this is how it works.

Later in the thread, someone kept making bad faith replies and at some point I thought, "I'll just use this handy disengage rule to avoid being further provoked". So I did, at which point I was gleefully and summarily banned by the mod with the following comment, to which I couldn't respond anymore of course.

user report: Abusing Disengage rule\nA call do disengage must be the only thing in the post. You don't get to respond to people and then call to disengage, this is completely disingenuous.\nI think it's about time we defed from your garbage instance, and I'm glad to make sure you won't be showing you're entire ass around here again.

Now I knew already that plenty of hexbears had a grudge against me for rejecting "left unity", so they were just looking for an excuse to get rid of me, they finally found enough of a plausible gotcha and all they could think of for the reason was "liberal". Note that the first person "abusing the disengage rule" was never banned or affected in any way.

Ultimately this led me to being banned from hexbear itself, but that's a post for another day.

So what do you think? Am I "liberal "enough to deserve a ban for "abusing" an unwritten disengage rule. Power trippin' mod or nah?

Hosts transphobes and TERFs and probably worse.

See this thread: https://linuxrocks.online/@yisraeldov/112907845197730688

This is the kind of "discussions" they're hosting

You might want to block this instance if you don't want your users to have to constantly argue their own existence. At least you might want to hesitate/silence the instance to prevent their debatebros from randomly slipping in your replies. Just my take.

I once prevented throwing out a broken electric toothbrush for a year

 

Then removes the post itself for "misinfo".

Suffice to say I think that the mod was just salty that I posted something that was not praising Russia, idfk what they were thinking.

Link to OP: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/25545288

What do you think, is me telling a regular that they're not prescient, banworthy "chauvinism"? Power trippin' bastard or nah?
