Unruffled [they/them]

They aren’t, all their server does is handle the login authentication afaik, and then streaming happens directly from the server to the user.

Here, I fixed it:

The reality is that we need more resourcesmoney to continue putting forth the best personal media experienceincrease our profit margins.

lmao me either

It depends which instance you are on. Some instances are full of mods that censor everything that doesn’t fit their ideology. Other instances are more relaxed with their moderation approaches. It definitely pays to shop around a bit before you settle on an instance that is a good fit for you.

On dbzero we have a governance community and instance users have the right to vote out mods/admins if they are unpopular. But most instances are run in a much more top-down BDFL (benevolent dictator for life) fashion.

I’m a gender abolitionist philosophically, so I get what you are saying and I would also prefer for everyone to agree to adopt using gender neutral language and be done with it. But we should still respect the preferred pronouns of others, because it isn’t up to you or me to force that choice on everyone else. It’s not much different from a Republican (for example) refusing to use she/her towards a trans woman. For some folks their pronouns are super important to them, so imo it’s just disrespectful not to use them when they are stated.

Yes, if you are aware of someone’s preferred pronouns and choose to ignore them.

You are describing intentional misgendering. That’s against our instance rules, so make sure you use preferred pronouns for folks who display them.

i figured the punchline would come eventually

You must might want to check out !fediverse_vs_disinfo@lemmy.dbzer0.com. I started it recently to help people identify and report disinformation on the platform.

In this video I discuss how Korean Telecom (aka KT Corp) deployed malware to the PC’s of 600k of their customers who were using bittorrent applications to share files with one another. [Mental Outlaw]

If this checks out, and it seems to, this is the craziest shit I’ve ever heard of an ISP doing.

Hard agree with you on that. AI generated articles are a disaster for the internet. There’s just no quality control any more, especially when actual authoritative sites are no longer in the top search results. Now we’ve got tons more crap-tier content on the internet and no way to differentiate it from the useful content.

You should see some of the usernames I’ve seen reported from the sh.itjust.works instance. I’m not going to post any but it seems like there is no moderation of usernames at all as far as I can tell. Major oversight on their part.
