we had a long weekend, with a stay out in gimli thursday evening, followed by my son’s 11U baseball playoffs this weekend. Started with a loss on Friday night, two wins on Saturday, then a tough loss to a tough team for their final game today. It was a lot of fun, our first year of “real” baseball, with keeping score and kids pitching, etc.

i just tried your link above, and was missing those buttons as well. but i did a hard-refresh in my browser and they were back. so probably just a browser caching issue.
So here I was checking to see if the Blue Jays Lemmy was being updated, and when I went there it says “No posts”. I checked from Lemmy.world and the posts show up fine (ie lemmy.world/c/torontobluejays@lemmy.ca). I checked my languages (made sure undetermined it selected) so I’m stumped - any ideas?
I’ve been attempting to create a post in !motorcycles that has an uploaded image as the URL. The image uploads fine, and I double checked the URL to ensure it’s valid, then I enter the post info, select a language, and hit create....
could of maybe be the language isn’t supported by the community you’re posting to? maybe try again now that we’re on the new lemmy version to see if it gives a proper error message now?
I’m planning on upgrading lemmy to v0.18.0 tonight, probably around 9pm CDT. So there will be a bit of downtime, but I don’t think it should take too long....
I've been talking to many people about the controversy with Reddit, why I left it and why I went onto Lemmy, Kbin and Mastadon instead. Some of my friends have commented that the control is still a problem as other platforms and it is all dependent on who owns the software, who owns the hardware, who are the admins, who are the...
first, i’m one of the admin’s here, and try and let the mods of their respective communities handle the bulk of the reports. i will only step in if there’s anything blatantly against the rules.
i don’t care if it’s left-leaning or right-leaning comments. i’m going to remove it if it’s hateful, and will start with a temporary ban if it continues, and a permanent ban if it persists.
the first two rules from this instance’s sidebar read:
No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.
Be respectful. Everyone should feel welcome here.
does that help?
Just to be clear, I am not asking whether people would be allowed to be blatantly racist, but whether people could disagree with political movements that lean right/left without being censored? I personally think communities thrive when they can have more open, productive good-faith conversations about topics. When people get censored it usually seems to create more division and more hate in my opinion.
i agree 100%.
if you want to give me an example of what others deem “hateful”, but you do not, i can tell you where i stand on it and why?
thank you for taking the time to send me those examples!
i 100% don’t agree with your second example. from my understanding (i have a son currently in grade 3), they are teaching about acceptance and inclusiveness. and i know not all schools teach the same thing, and it could vary with different schools and at different grades, but i personally don’t see anything wrong with that. If people don’t want to join in in pride parades, then they don’t have to, plain and simple, that’s their choice. But don’t hate on the movement just because you don’t agree with it.
for your first and third example, it’s hard to say, since like you said, intentions (and context) matter a lot. so I will always try to take all those things into consideration.
Stux from geddit.social think that the massive recent wave of ~100k new Lemmy accounts is likely mostly spammers. Captchas suck, but are they better than the alternative?
yeah, I think I might preemptively block them. a different admin has been trying to contact them to get them aware, and had a list of some that had deleted the accounts and implemented captchas or whatever.
