It’s not normally about power level, but about how far apart the servers are. Because they’re sent serially and have to be acknowledged before they can be processed, it means that world can send out content faster than regionally distant instances can process them because of the geographical latency added to every event

I’ve replied to the person in question.

You may have picked the wrong instance then, because as the blahaj.zone instance admin, I actively remove “mean things”. Words designed to harm others, whether it’s bigotry, or harassment or insults, are not an “occupational hazard”, they undermine the community and hurt folk when they’re vulnerable.

Hateful words will get you banned here, and apologism for them and downplaying their impact is not welcome.

It’s spam

Flatpak annoys me

CachyOS. I use it because I am a fan of Arch based systems, rolling releases etc, but CachyOS is optimised for my generation of hardware, and has lots of good default configurations for various apps. They have a customised proton version, a good default fish profile etc.

tl;dr It’s Arch, but optimised, and slightly more pre-configured out of the box.

It’s a federated protocol, but the network itself isn’t meaningfully federated, and is basically just Bluesky (the company) infrastructure. Hopefully that changes, because until then, it’s still a centralised social media platform, despite the underlying technology

You’re the only person to mention trans people in this thread. It’s got nothing to do with trans folk…

decided this is a hateful post based on prior comments without watching the video.

I had to watch the video to see her dog whistle.

And the whole thing about red flag/dog whistle comments is that they’re designed to seem like nothing to people who don’t recognise them. You not recognising a dog whistle doesn’t mean it isn’t one…

The fact that she shouts out another steamer that was banned from twitch for bigotry isn’t a co-incidence. It’s a red flag for a reason

I barely use youtube. I actively avoid it as much as possible

She shouts out a racist who was banned from twitch for bigotry, so I’d say it’s pretty spot on as a red flag.

Gamergate is not a very specific circumstance. It was a widespread harassment campaign involving the entire industry. This is a follow on from that movement, and any game that releases a female protagonist that isn’t soft and demure gets active push back from this group.

YouTube, like other corporate social media and engagement platforms, thrives on anger and conflict, and pushes shitty takes higher up the recs list to get angry engagement.

So it’s more likely to be bad than good.

she made points I have never heard about that I found interesting, like disappearing of some femininity aspects to awkwardly try to avoid sexism accusations.

These are very common talking points of gamer gate bigots. It’s a giant red flag, because the people who talk about it are bigots

I rarely click on YouTube links. For some reason I gave this one a try. Turns out she’s bigoted.

That’ll teach me for clicking

I’m an admin too. If your reason for removing a post is because a queer person called themselves a gender terrorist, then it is in fact about them being trans. There is no scenario where you personally are at risk from a queer person describing their identity

This is the second year :)

Cachy Zen 4 is running nicely on my PC!

You decided to stir up some drama towards some of the people most at risk from Trump gaining power, because they made some jokes about him, despite him being alive and healthy. You’re not the good guy in this story…

On blahaj? It’s a non blahaj user posting to a non blahaj community? It wasn’t really “on” blahaj in any meaningful way.

That being said, I’ve removed the posts in question, but only locally, because that’s all I can do for non blahaj posts

If you only speak to people with years of experience, how exactly do people develop that experience?
