Interesting, thank you for expanding on how the spam issue has happened.

I’d not heard of MRFs before, from some searching around it would seem its a Markov Random Field model (in case anyone sees this and also didn’t know what it was)

Judging people for their demographic because you associate that demographic with behavior you find unacceptable is dumb

Your judgement is with the behaviour, not the demographic. If you wanna criticize religion’s tendency to advocate cruelty towards queer folks that’s a point worth fighting for, but painting an entire group with the same brush and treating an individual with hostility based on how you perceive other from that demographic is dumb.

That’s the same logic bigotry is often cut from.

I don’t have a need for this sort of community, but if you want a queer theists comm you should try making one. Though there may not be enough folks to sustain it; here on lemmy there often just aren’t enough people to sustain small niche communities because if there aren’t posts, nothing shows up on people’s feed, and people forget the community exists. Which is a challenge since most people just lurk and don’t post.

As an atheist myself I really don’t see why so many people have decided to attack you for your way of relating to the world, unless there’s some context I’m missing. The important thing is that you’re kind, not whether you think there’s a god or not.

Judging people for their demographic like what religion they subscribe to rather than how they treat people is stupid. If you’re a dick you’re a dick, and if you’re not a dick you’re not. It’s not complicated.

I don’t give a shit if someone is religious, I give a shit if you’re kind. My apologies for the shitty attitude of replies in this thread OP

Is there a reason why miskey users organized a distributed spam wave from Mastodon…?

But yeah, miskey is much more popular in Japan, whereas here in the west Mastodon is much more popular

Is it spam, or is it literally just people using the fediverse as intended, coincidentally in a language you don’t speak? Folks who speak a language other than english aren’t less welcome in the fediverse.

If it’s an issue because it’s drowning out all the stuff you can read and engage with, I think you can set a Mastodon account so you only see posts in a certain language. Other platforms may have similar settings

…why? Like why would someone want that? What the fuck is the point of getting rid of nonprofits?

Wonderful. I get they’re an important ally because we radicalized the entire region against us by repeatedly destabilizing governments and bombing the shit out of people, but for the love of god, they don’t need any more fucking weapons. They have huge numbers already.

The only reason they’d need more is so they can kill more people, or threaten literally all of their neighbors who are not very happy at the massacre that’s happening in gaza. Stop fucking giving them more. This shit costs us money and resources and for what? More senseless loss of life? I’m fuckin tired man.

It’s not quite what you’re describing, but neocities probably has some blog templates you could use. I know there’s a webcomic artist who hosts his webcomic on neocities using a template

But it wouldn’t be a blogging specific platform, and I don’t expect there’d be any way to integrate with ActivityPub

Good luck in your search for the right platform!

Jesus fucking christ, they’ve killed more than 40 THOUSAND PEOPLE

STOP GIVING THEM FUCKING GUNS.

For me, it’s just that something about the delivery and setup feel like they communicate I’m about to experience a very different kind of joke, and so the non-sequitur “I’m piss” catches me completely off guard in a way that makes me cackle

I think humor that depends on seting up and then subverting expectations with something dumb or nonsensical is often very hit or miss. But that sense of humor is increasingly popular, especially among gen z

Oooh, I hadnt seen that one yet and have complicated feelings on that subject, I’ll have to go check that out! Thank you very much for the link :)

You opt in by following the bridgy fed account for your platform, so for Mastodon that’d be: https://bsky.brid.gy/bsky.brid.gy

There’s one on each platform, and when you follow it it’ll create you a bluesky/mastodon counterpart and send you the link to that bridged account

No, not unless the person who’s posts you want to see opted into bridging their account.

If both parties bridge their accounts they can follow eachother, or if one person bridges their account others can follow them.

I don’t think you can see boosts of stuff not on your platform though, and I don’t know how interacting with a bridged account works if both of you are bridged. If only the person you’re following is bridged they definitely won’t see it, but I don’t know if that changes if you’re both bridged

I’m not sure which instances might need it most, but the idea is mostly that you donate to the one that hosts your account, that way you’re offsetting the operating costs they pay to host your posts, uploaded images, comments, etc.

I’ve really enjoyed reading her works! I follow her on Mastodon and sometimes she posts really cute pictures of her dog :)

That sounds fucking ass, I’m sorry man

🫂

I appreciate you mentioning Brightside, I’m not awake during the day due to a sleep disorder so access to therapy is really hard for me, but I absolutely do not wanna use better help

I should go look into them

I’d assume a lot of people just don’t participate as much as they used to, even if they still use Reddit, and other people probably just gave it up or use other traditional social media instead 🤷‍♂️

So is it slightly less holy, or slightly less water?

Cool!

Love the ghost in the shell profile pic :)
