This reminded me of those msn messenger nudges from back in the day… I’m definitely not the target audience this time around… 😂

Yup, but only when it’s something those clowns disagree with, like excluding Nazis or corporations.

Now, excluding people from protected groups, who need to be protected in the first place because of the groups the clowns endorse and defend, they’re more than happy to fight for that…

And conveniently enough anyone who disagrees with them is a traitor they don’t have to listen to, and voilà - built in shield against any criticism or the pointing out of just how massive their hypocrisy is…

How exactly is anyone being strong armed?
A single, privately run index site (which, to be clear, I have never even visited, let alone have any affiliation with) doesn’t want to publicise certain instances.
If anything, forcing them to index instances they don’t want to would be the strong-arming.

No worries, I figured a machine screwed something up along the way lol

Thanks again for the great resources, I’ve bookmarked them all, just in case…

Thanks, I’d managed to miss 2 of those!

These are great, thanks for sharing, though some spaces would make them easier to tell apart!

Bigots everywhere, and you can’t get rid of them, only hide their content from yourself…

I’ve not been on bluesky, and don’t doubt it’s worse there, but tbf we have a growing problem with bigots and trolls on kbin/lemmy too, and we can’t do much more than block here either…

My comment had nothing to do with xioami being Chinese, a corporation is a corporation and they’re all trying to collect as much of your data as possible, I guess you can let them if you want lol ¯\(ツ)/¯

Go through any and all available privacy and permissions settings and make sure you’re not sending a bunch of info you don’t want to be to xioami and google (and any app you download)

Ah, well, I don’t know anything about that stuff, but good luck!

Let go of your need to see everything and just find a space you’re comfortable in and enjoy browsing, surely it’s not that deep?

I mean if you’re not looking for an end result where you actually have a photo of the thing in front of you to look back at/show others, then yeah, I guess that’ll work lol

put your phone on a tripod.

My phone has a x10 zoom option that is barely usable without at least resting it on a surface, I can’t imagine trying to take an even half decent photo at x200…

Lmfao, way to deliberately miss the point and make some completely irrelevant examples since neither vegans nor BBQ chefs, nor Java programmers are marginalised groups of people who need to be protected (and even if they were, you’d still need motherfucking moderation to keep them that way). But good to know where your head is at lol 🙄

And you’re right - you can’t make a safe space for everyone, because to make a safe space for most you have to not only exclude fascists and “regular” bigots, but make sure they don’t have a safe space to exist in, because they will crawl out of it looking to abuse others. They always do.

Your “blind eye” bullshit just enables them, being outside of your perception doesn’t mean they don’t exist and aren’t causing harm to other, actually marginalised people.

But hey, since the fascists don’t bother you, then I guess we’re ok… 🙄🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I can’t speak for others, but my downvote is because this post reeks of “free speech” enthusiasm. People looking to create a space they don’t need to moderate and where people don’t need to “walk on eggshells” is just the dog whistle way to say bigots who don’t want to get called out or banned for their bigotry.
And you can tell, because if someone wants to create a genuinely safe space for everyone, moderation is an absolute necessity.

I’m on kbin but liked a couple of the feddit.uk magazines, so it’s a shame to see them go… Will keep an eye out for updates, best of luck!

Amazing, it only took you 2 comments to land right on genocide denial, unprovoked.
You’re a tankie, defending other tankies, and tankies aren’t communists, nor are you on the left, since you clearly aren’t in support of freedom and equality for all, never mind the rest of it, just more of the same bullshit - authoritarians co opting leftist ideas and language to grab power. Tale as old as fucking time…

Yeah, the other day I’d gone to play another older game I had already pirated and played loads, but not for a while, and it suddenly wouldn’t run without steam. Like tf? So I deleted it and pirated an updated copy that runs fine lol

I refuse to use these kinds of 3rd party services, I just want a copy of the game that I know is safe on my machine.

E: speaking of which - I’ve just been testing the games I downloaded off the back of this post, and one is now stuck looking for steam subscriptions before it will run, on to the next!

Unfortunately myabandonware just links back to steam and Vimm only has the PS version, but thanks!

Doesn’t look like it, but might come in handy if I find anything in the archives that gives me trouble, thanks!
