Demonstrates the difference between Comic Cons and comic conventions. Best research ahead depending on if you want comics or celebs from sci-fi and TV, as the mix varies wildly.

The Bristol one was great for comics back in the day and Lawless seems like a good replacement for it.

I love what they’ve done but it isn’t federated and I’d think we’d want something on AP protocol if it is running alongside Lemmy. We’re currently discussing adding a wiki here so…

Although it needn’t be either/or.

Already done as soon as I saw it. I’ll check back in a day or two. 🤞

Well if they say so…

I contacted the site a few hours ago and sent my list of regional Lemmy instances. We’ll see if it works.

This community just pushed Fediverse Memes into second place on feddit.uk!

Lemmy is memes all the way down.

I was listening to the report on Radio 4 - the murders were heart-breaking enough but throwing Andrew Tate into the mix made me want to cry. It just feels like all the (albeit limited) progress that we’ve made over the last few decades is slipping between out fingers like sand and I am worried for the young generation of boys growing up with this constantly in the background, as well as the young women who have to navigate that minefield. Hopefully, this will help to underline quite how corrosive this kind of thing is but I don’t know how you push back against it effectively, although the Men’s Lib movement might be part of it.

The two main Lemmy devs are European. One of the feddit.uk Admins is also now part of the team.

Sigh

It’s hard finding and reinstalling what you’ve previously bought, so I am a bit loath to remove KOTOR 2 until I figure that bit out. There should be a “library” link but…

an extensive wiki would be nice

Somewhere under:

• https://joinfediverse.wiki/Lemmy
• https://open.ibis.wiki/article/Lemmy

Or both?

I’m not sure about convince but:

• Help people out on Reddit who need a hand signing up - there are quite a few of us on there directing people to the fire exits.
• Make Lemmy awesome - pitch in on !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca and/or if you see a need for a community then start it, you can always get help at !fedigrow@lemm.ee.

Porn, you say? 🧐

Listed under your transactions once you start downloading (still not done with KOTOR 2).

They don’t make it easy to find them though.

Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if this started happening at Lemmy too.

You missed the Vegan Cat Food Wars then.

“We have done this in the past for quarantined communities and found that it did help to reduce exposure to bad content, so we are experimenting with this sitewide,” according to the main post. Reddit “may consider” expanding the warnings in the future to cover repeated upvotes of other kinds of actions as well as taking other types of actions in addition to warnings.

Thoughtcrime time.

Bigger picture - what if Xitter, Meta and Reddit (all run by Trump humpers) started centrally compiling this kind of thing to flag up “persons of interest”?

I assume this is prompted by Luigi-inspired death threats to CEOs. If they are monitoring this so closely, I bet the FBI might want to take a look at those records too…

Context:

Reddit will now issue warnings to users who “upvote several pieces of content banned for violating our policies” within “a certain timeframe,” starting first with violent content, the company announced on Wednesday.

“This will have no impact on the vast majority of users as most already downvote or report abusive content,” a Reddit employee says in the announcement post. In comments on the post, a user expressed concern that the new policy could make people “paranoid about voting,” but the employee says that “this would be an unacceptable side effect, which is why we want to monitor this closely and ramp it up thoughtfully.”

If it violates policies, remove it and move on. This is weird.

Now that there is Thoughtcrime territory.

Worth an experiment. I’m downloading now…
