Don’t worry, it’s not as bad as it sounds. I’m familiar with series in the genre. I just hadn’t that term for the genre itself, because I don’t play it :)

I’m not sure about universally loved. I’ve never heard of this series…

Yep, that was him.

The guy who did Summer Heights High? He was Australian, and a racist.

If someone does transphobia, I instance ban them whether or not they did transphobia in one of my communities.

I just want to inject something here.

This community and others like it exist on blahaj, because this instance focuses on the needs of trans and queer folk first and foremost. And so, trans and queer folk expressing honestly held opinions, are given space to do so.

I’ve had a chat to the lead mod of that community to address the way moderation is communicated, but I don’t plan on telling them what they can communicate. These folk are going to experience the results of the election first hand too, so I’m not going to tell them that they’re not allowed to deal with the situation in a particular way.

We have a group for armed queers here too. I’m strongly anti gun myself, but this group too is run by queer and trans folk with genuinely held beliefs trying to deal with a world that is turning against us more and more. I want them to have space that is explicitly inclusive and protective of their needs, even if I don’t agree with them, because trans solidarity is the goal.

when you report someone, who receives the report? Mods on my instance? The mods of the specific community I’m reporting from?

When a report is made, it goes to three instances.

1. The instance of the person making the report
2. The instance of the account being reported
3. The instance of the community in which the content was posted

Each instance only gets a single copy of the report and that report can be actioned by the admin of the instance the report is on, or moderators of the community. Only a single report is generated for each instance even if it meets multiple criteria, and it is one report per instance, not one report per admin/moderator. Marking a report as complete on one instance does not mark it as complete on another instance.

If a report leads to content removal, that removal will only federate if the reported content is removed by a moderator of the community, or by an admin of the instance that hosts the community or the user. If removed by any other admin, the removal doesn’t federate to other instances, and is purely removed for local users.

Both? Which is to say, after an amazing start, it went downhill when it was sold to yahoo. It suffered there for years. These days, its owned by SmugMug and is improving, but still isn’t what it used to be

Another language. It changes the way you see the world

Yep. Conservative opinions are definitely becoming more common across lemmy… I’ve had so many "I’m not transphobic, but… <insert transphobia>’ type comments to moderate in the last few weeks
