It’s concerning how dismissive people are about this change considering this is the first in a long line of adversarial changes to what is a critical piece of software.

Wow the comments on that wiki page are abysmal. Definitely not a good idea to click there.

I think it is but I’m not sure why.

I think it already is and has been for a while, though I agree that it’s not really great because it puts people down for being straight and doesn’t address the real issue, which is people being bigoted and queerphobic. Not people being straight.

Personally for me I think marriage is overrated 🖤💜🩶🤍💚💚

Where does Agender fall into this chart?

I personally think Monster Energy tastes terrible and I would never drink it.

It’s likely that a mod or admin looked at and saw you downvoting in communities without participation and/or downvoting a lot in those communities without contributing anything back. And banned you from all their communities or instance banned you completely (Lemmy instance bans apply community bans to any community you participated in on the instance to allow federated content removal).

These types of patterns are generally not welcome on Lemmy because communities here are smaller and people systemically downvoting hurts community reach, and because there are already a lot of people who do it on Lemmy, many mods and admins just aren’t having it, and I don’t blame them. Lemmy has the most robust community blocking system out there for a reason. They want you to use it to filter out communities from your feed. If you don’t wish to block a whole community then hiding posts is an option too. Blocking users is an option if you hate what they post and can’t be bothered to ignore them.

It’s been used as a catch all by mods and instance admins to describe all forms of malicious voting.

People ask me to lift heavy stuff regardless of how I’m dressed.

Your message would not be lost, it recommends usage of Element.io because Lemmy messages aren’t end to end encrypted. That doesn’t mean the message will be lost it just means admins can see it. That’s not a huge drawback though since since the communications being exchanged with the mod are not sensitive data. Just inquiry about moderaiton.

I sent this to you as a private message to demonstrate that messages go through and do not get lost.

A thank you would be nice, since I helped you fix the issue about not being able to see the modlog details.

I added you as a mod to a useless community, go check the modlog on photon now. It’s a well known issue that @Tywele@lemmy.dbzer0.com is unaware of where people who don’t mod communities can’t see mod names in the mod list on some servers. Since I added you to a community as a mod you should be able to see the list now and the user details on exactly who banned you.

This is confusing and I really don’t know why Lemmy devs added this restriction into Lemmy at all but it’s an easy one to get around.

I checked the modlog and must apologize. I should’ve checked it myself before jumping to conclusions.

There probably would be a lot of overlap since a lot of what they would learn about in training would be based on human experiences presentation.

I think maybe this community needs a rule against appeal to authority, to try and get people to focus on whether the actions are justified from a moral and practical standpoint instead of just “They own the community and have the right to do it, YDI” or “It’s in the rules and you didn’t follow it, YDI” which could be the answer to any action posted here. We’re not trying to enforce the Reddit mod code of conduct on Lemmy, we’re trying to improve the community by calling out mod actions that are morally or practically unjustified.

Although that might be hard to enforce so I can understand why it wasn’t done. People can be very subtle and sound reasonable, even if they’re just appealing to authority blindly.

i think its just that once you let furry artists start posting in an art community, it tends to get flooded with mostly furry art.

This is a slippery slope fallacy and a pretty bad one at that considering just how few furries there are on the Lemmy side of the fediverse as a whole.

an exclusion doesn’t necessarily mean prejudice. in this case it might just be to prevent it becoming only furry art.

They gave the person a permanent ban over art that isn’t even furry art, their behavior and responses to the OP do seem prejudiced. If they had given a temporary ban this would be different but seeing as they didn’t, and seeing that they never shared any reasoning for why they came up with these rules, I think your comment is giving them both more charitability than they deserve. Especially considering, anti-furry sentiment is very often used as a smokescreen for homophobic and even transphobic rhetoric.

Don’t bother trying to explain yourself to these people, anyone who’s trying to justify such severe actions towards someone for furry art or being a furry is already walking a fine line. As I or others have said, anti-furry sentiment is very often a smokescreen for queerphobia, and unfortunately this community has the highest counts of queerphobia, considering its purpose and what it’s about.

I wonder if robots ever become a thing will they experience gender similarly to humans, or will they not have similar experiences with gender? It’s an interesting question, and one that’s difficult to answer because unlike how early sci-fi implied, sentient robots likely won’t be programmed by hand, but trained, similar to how modern (but still primitive by comparison to sentient robots) AI models are trained.

Also transphobia too. A lot of anti-furry people who’ve attacked me as of late were also being extremely transphobic. I’ve also seen it used that way in other places, like on Reddit.
