Yes, which as far as I understand functions via an instance federating with another instance, bringing users along with it regardless of input.
I know theres a future version on the way that will let users block out set instances, but since when do users need to pick and choose what instances their instance shows them?

Ive gone actively searching for it and cannot find more than 2 at any given moment besides that one dude with the naruto pfp who is just autoplaying youtube twerk videos.
And one of them who frequently does the topless cutoff videos has already needed to up the ante by having 4 girls on screen at once.
Its not that big of a deal. There really isnt much to advertise. And its clearly not doing that well as a strategy to get viewers.
It seems like France stands out among terrorist attacks in the news. Is it because they are more likely to be critical of Muslim culture than other European nations? Is it because there is a security failure allowing terrorist to come in and organize better?
I mean, mood, same, but I can print fakes from overseas for $30 per edh deck and scratch the itch with friends. Losing 60 deck comp formats hurts a little, but theres other games that last longer and cost way way less.
But youve seen the trend. MH2 forces format defining cards, which they refuse to ban until everyone buys them. Then, MH3 comes out as a branded LotR set to advertise amazons LotR flop show, new format defining staples are forced in, and then they ban the problem cards from MH2 cause everyone has them now so no one is buying.
You will see this again in a few years with a new advertisement stapled to cards required for competitive play. And it will happen for the rest of the games life.
MtG is now a billboard on your kitchen table, that you pay to put there. And then they fire half the staff.
Thats whats fun about cubes, you cherry pick the 1-10 cards from a set you think are interesting and add them, and ignore the rest.
I know a guy who basically makes jumpstart cubes. Like, modular 1/4th or 1/6th cube pieces, which are set up with the pieces for broadish archetypes plus more niche specifics, which he can mix and match to shape the end result. Its way too big brained for me to grasp, but it seems to work well.
Im not huge into draft, but playing cube with older cards is fun as hell. Its neat seeing busted combo pieces being used how they likely were used when they were printed, rather than what they became 8 sets later.
Considering the massive push across multiple lemmy instances to completely remove downvotes, leaving a comment is actually becoming the only way to state you dont like or want specific content on a sub.
The fediverse actively disagrees with you on how to filter content quality.
Oh, heavily heavily heavily disagree. The fediverse is going to fall apart if it commits to getting rid of votes, because the website it is copying all of its formatting from was explicitly designed to self filter community content with votes.
Not being able to filter content without detailing expressly why will fill the site with garbage, because few people have the free time to waste commenting on every post, but quickly saying “yes this belongs here / no it does not” is much easier and doable while browsing.
Votes also help communities self moderate, a problem front and center on lemmy with the current situation of abysmal mod tools and worse average mod quality than reddit had. (No offense to passing mods.)
But the fediverse seems dedicated to learning this lesson the hard way, so we either need to hold on and hope the ship doesnt sink or start swimming to a better boat.
I dont really agree that you need to explain what was wrong with the content. And brigading happens with comments too, arguably to a worse end.
Explaining every vote you make, or requiring a yes vote before you allow a no vote, also defeats the purpose of voting at all. I get it can feel bad to have a comment downvoted but… Like… Its really not a big deal. Especially in a system that has even less weight on karma. Sometimes the group didnt agree with you, and thats a normal part of community interactions. You shrug and move on.
Comments do the same thing, by drowning the one opinion in a sea of alternate opinions, and is directly incentivizing only interaction via people with the time to type up a comment. You arent preventing brigades, you are reducing the number of users who arent capable of attempting to brigade at all.
Especially since your version of brigading is literally how communities work. If the group doesnt agree with an opinion, even opinions you do agree with, the opinion is going to be drowned out. You cannot police “opinion quality.” Because such a subjective thing is good when it agrees with you and bad when it doesnt.
Good luck and I look forward to seeing it, but to be frank it sounds like you want to build a personal group chat, not a social media site. And like any web of trust, it relies on the integrity of the central member. Which isnt a defense against brigading, just a defense against brigading that doesnt come from the central member or their points of trust.
E: mind, not that theres anything wrong with crafting your own supported super chat. Just that its less social media, and more a hyper evolved chat among friends and friend-of-friends
I mean, the charity is getting audited for holding onto donations for 10 years. I think thats kinda a big deal regardless of if criminal charges happen
Fully applies here, because the legal documents that the charity has posted for the past decade are more than the ample amount of evidence to drop jirard like a hot stone.
Jirard claims the reason why he lied for a decade about donating the money instead of hoarding it like a dragon is sheer incompetence. Many people think that is a lie, and its actually a long con he was in on the while time.
But regardless of if he was actively evil or just horridly incompetent with the money of hundreds of thousands of trusting fans, both explanations are full reasons to cut contact with him on a business and personal level.
What company wants jirard the “10 year long charity fumbler” completionist as a partner? Who would intentionally advertise that they work with either the charity scammer or the guy who didnt realize his charity wasnt a charity for a decade?
So a completely rational business cuts ties with a bad business partner. And you respond by misreading an internet comment, and taking the game out of your wishlist.
Yes, and so was the removal of jirard from sea of stars. Reacting to the knowledge that jirard mishandled his charity. Thats why it was funny. Because you mislabeled what they did while doing the same thing they did.
Im sorry, I didnt think that part needed spelling out.
… Yes, which is why it was funny. You mislabeled their reactive comments as preemptive when they werent, while doing the same thing they did while calling it reactive.
Pumpkin, do I need to draw you pictures? Ive explained this for you 3 times.
I get if they dont want an homage character to become a biting satire of a former business partner. Especially if they dont want someone to not get the bit, and think less of the game for having a known scammer cameo in it
Not that its really even their fault, seeing as this came out before the charity mess did
Jesus, you care about votes on lemmy? Im sorry to hear that bud
Ive repeated myself so many different ways for you, to help you grok the sentence everyone else got the first time. Its very cute you think the same concept reworded for you in different ways is what lying is.
Are you this big a dickrider for jirard? Or did I accidentally step on an insecurity of yours? If I did I promise it wasnt on purpose
You dont care about some immoral and possibly illegal activity done with charity money by a very big internet personality, because one other internet personality might talk about it with clickbait?
… Yes, because a well respected youtuber running a scam behind a massive charity and then repeatedly lying about it in stages after being caught is dramatic. This event is the very definition of drama. In fact, it may even be a crime.
I guess if you dont ever watch his stuff, give him money, or donate to charity ever, sure no one gives a shit if you dont care. But this is a pretty big deal that the community who funds both his scam and his channels need to know.
If seeing a mild clickbait thumbnail really has you breaking down like this, I honestly feel you just want to make drama about this youtuber, not that youre actually upset about anything.
Because thats such a nothing burger of a problem to have with someone talking about a multi year long scamming operation from a respected semi celebrity’s charity organization.
Saying that no matter what jirard does or how bad things get, its hard for you to care because there was a clickbait thumbnail about it is more than an “ugh” but you seem in love with that shovel so Ill let you keep diggin
Totally expect to see a sea of “Nazi Sympathizer” comments, but look. I don’t think we should be Doxxing anyone so that we don’t invite folks to Doxx us....
Sure, read this thread. Op accused of being a secret nazi plant, multiple people defending doxxing, screenshots of your discord doing the same, someone calling me a troll for having this understanding of this instance while actively defending doxxing in the comments calling me a liar and troll for saying this is a pro doxx space, and me, an outsider, being surprised that this wasnt a common understanding within your community.
I think thats a fairly good sample size, no? You guys wrote most of this thread.
Are you asking me to make a post in another instance, asking for people to come here and vouch for me? Because thats entirely inappropriate.
And I cant exactly search lemmy in any successful way to find likely months old comment chains. Even if the search function wasnt borked, I dont memorize every post title and convo chain Ive read per instance.
Thats an insanely unreasonable ask, especially given the direct proof of pro doxx mentality this post already shows.
Didnt you? What other proof would you be asking for?
And what fear? Are you responding to the right comment?
E: unless youre playing the “technically, I didnt ask the question, I just responded directly supporting it” but if thats your game you know thats nonsense
This entire post is full of heavily upvoted defenses of doxxing, including from some of the people telling me the same thing you are saying while actively defending doxxing.
But since direct proof going on around you “”“doesnt count,”“” of course I wouldnt be able to find anything that would be enough proof for you. You have made it clear this wasnt about proof, its about blindly defending your in group.
Im glad you did loads of research before settling down. I guess that makes the (very valid) doxxing reputation that your communities actions here have reinforced magically turn to dust? But your “research” clearly couldnt have been wrong, so this post and everyone in it must be a hallucination of mine.
I already have multiple beehaw users following me and harassing me. Including “brand new” accounts from other instances. Youve made your point, fuck you and your little club. Im blocking the instance before one of you follows through with the threats.
41% of fediverse instances have blocked threads so far!!! (tech.lgbt)
