Lemmy moment.

But on that subject, what are the options for non-theistic or otherwise secular analogs for church? And if there are none, perhaps organizing some community support group could be beneficial to many people, including the organizer?

Obviously, this horrendous and fascist (par for the course). I think there is also a subtle insidious layer to this that would imply stripping all dissidents of their gun rights, therein stifling rebellion.

Did Woody ever give us an ETA as to when that would happen?

It means that humans developed empathy and the scientific means to help each other avoid natural selection. Intraspecies and interspecies empathy is the cheat code against natural selection. Certain ram species, for example, also were not designed intelligently, so as they age they may grow their horns until they penetrate their skull and kill them. Natural selection is most effective when it culls prior to the life form procreating. However, thanks to the power of empathy, we can abate natural selection by performing oral surgery on humans (ideally in our adolescence for wisdom teeth removal) and by shaving rams’ horns as they age. Ideally, as science develops and empathy spreads, we can come up with more effective and painless means to ensure everybody has a chance to live and be happy.

Huh, I’ve got all advertisers hidden forever on Lemmy

Great to know, thanks. Edited my comment to update

Ah, shame I’ll have to block another dingdong who doesn’t know what words mean and who doesn’t understand basic courtesy for others but acts arrogant about stuff anyway

The post is fake. The claim… eh, who knows

Can you or somebody else with a Reddit account post a photo of Woody Guthrie to r/pics and/or some major history subreddit and title it “Woody Guthrie and his iconic guitar” but use the Reddit alien logo as a censor over the “This machine kills fascists” written on his guitar?

to another state

What are the options for help moving to another country?

Apparently, Reddit has started mega-censoring anything even slightly inciting of violence, ranging from comments saying “F Trump” or just the word “Luigi”, as well as banning users just for upvoting this content.

Woody Guthrie famously had written on his guitar “This machine kills fascists”.

It basically said “Trump bad, so donate to the DNC”

Not if they’re a federated user. They’re not my user to worry about. Even if they say they’re not 18 it doesn’t apply imo, they’re not interacting directly with lemmy.zip.

I think that is unwise of lemmy.zip’s admin. Their instance rules state “4.1: No one under 18 years of age is allowed to use or access the website.”, and I think the admin’s course of action would be contradictory to that. A NSFW post on one server can federate to lemmy.zip and then federate to a server hosting a minor (i.e., the minor passively used the lemmy.zip website); in that case, which is what the lemmy.world admins were trying to avoid, a server which is neither hosting a minor nor hosting NSFW content would be culpable in bringing the NSFW content to whom they would know or suspect is a minor. This may be uncharted territory legally due to the newness and niche-ness of the Fediverse, but it seems in poor judgment for an admin to be willing to take that risk. Yeah, it sucks for the user, I don’t dispute that; but if the law turns out poorly for the admins, then everybody loses access to that instance.

YDI. The instance rules state that minors are not “allowed to use or access the website”. To my knowledge, Lemmy as a whole does not have the infrastructure to age gate content except by users voluntarily filtering out NSFW content themselves. If somebody posts mature 18+ content anywhere on Lemmy and the admins of a server know or at least suspect that an account is ran by a minor who may see that content via federation with that server, the admins may be held legally liable. Implementing an age gated system in the Fediverse that is effective in filtering out mature content is the only way to avert servers being held liable if they know of an account that announces themself (even jokingly) as a minor. It’s not powertripping; it’s covering the instance’s back against an instant and total shutdown. There is a case to be made about hypocrisy and double standards, say with servers that allow and/or endorse piracy, but that is not as dire in the eyes of the law and most people’s morals.

Interesting. Looking into this.

I believe most everybody was from within the state but probably anybody could apply to display without any prior affiliations

Can you make the sub private and for a couple months maintain it as “active” with low-effort posts vaguely on topic by a select few users?
