  • allowing Nazis and other right-wingers to fester in his community

    Would you mind elaborating on that? Is it that these people are in his YouTube comments, maybe on a subreddit? I never followed this guy, I’ve only seen probably less than 5 videos he’s made (likely only 2), one of which was this open source video.

    Originally I avoided the guy because he was just a “loud is funny” let’s player, then I heard he said the N word, and i had heard people trying to get him to be the #1 YouTube channel over some music conglomerate.

    In any case, while you can do things to attract certain people, I’m not sure how much control you have over your community, which is why I’m asking.


  • Seems like in real world use it makes a difference.

    From another thing I read, people have a tendency to not apply enough sunscreen or apply it correctly. I’m sure if everyone did it perfectly it wouldn’t matter. All I know is anecdotally, when I switched to 100 I stopped getting sunburns, and I have been in situations with people who used their own lower spf, got a little burned still, and I came out of it pale white.

    The price might be higher, but a quick look on Amazon and I’m seeing more than spf affecting that. The brand I buy is about 1.80 (usd) per ounce, and i see other brands with less spf for more. I see other brands with the same spf for less, and it seems like it’s between ~1.10 per ounce to ~2.80 per ounce so I’m not really bothered by my price. I don’t know anything about the environmental differences between spf so I won’t comment on that.



  • Also, your response to someone concerned about CSAM being posted was to say ‘I’m sick of people using “think of the kids” to justify strong moderation’ (paraphrasing)

    What’s interesting is the part you paraphrased out, is that they think “nearly no one does that”. This is one of those arguments people make when they don’t realize how much has been done for them. They clearly don’t think it’s an issue because they’ve been protected from it by the moderation they’re bitching about. Maybe around a month ago, several official matrix.org channels had members spammed with CSAM. Not to get graphic but literal babies. It hit my account and i only was part of 3 hosting related channels. This simply does not happen on something like messenger (from Facebook) due to their “censorship”. It happened here on Lemmy and people made tools to prevent it which they’re also bitching about

    …auto filtering of messages…

    It’s just a reality that there are awful people out there and even one person can send this stuff out to thousands of people with minimal effort unless there’s proper tools and moderation. These admins aren’t getting burned out just from arguing with people, they’re arguing with people who they’re protecting from seeing vile shit that the admin has to see. Nearly nobody actually wants a fully unmoderated Lemmy instance. Places like Lemm.ee and seemingly lemmy.zip find that balance.


  • Even if people believe that (and I know they do 🙄) that then gives you a niche for a private business to fill. City store always busy? This private store is more expensive but you don’t have to wait in line as long. People will pay that difference to save time, especially in NYC.








  • In your example, if bluesky goes you lose it all (until/if their form of federation actually exists and is usable). If the Mastodon server I’m on (toot.community, because I like the name) goes, you move to another or host your own and keep on trucking.

    When reddit did their API shit i left and lost the account, subreddits, apps, everything. When Lemm.ee announced it’s shutdown i moved to lemmy.zip and picked up exactly where I left off.






  • If i thought enough people would buy my shit I’d be on there too (I’m a guy). You mean to tell me i could potentially become rich by taking naked pictures and videos? It’s pretty saturated now, but even then most of them are making good money, and they’re not even dealing with it, they’re paying other people to handle the page and messages and whatnot.

    The other option? Going to school, learning a skill, applying for a job, and maybe making enough to get by.

    Edit: wait a minute this is just a bot account spamming questions.
