That’s true! I meant more as an example of a community that because of its nature has to ban more than other communities!

Also it occurs to me that I have no idea if rimu is looking at instance bans, community bans, or all bans. Instance bans will typically also include community bans which can inflate the numbers if all bans are counted in the data

Edit: in fact it’s all weird. if you instance ban someone early before they can participate much they technically get very few community bans, whereas if you ban someone who has participated a lot they’ll get lots of community bans as well (when you are instance banned you get banned from all communities you’ve participated in on that instance). an instance that is more trigger happy will have fewer community bans than an instance that is slow to instance ban

Edit 2: And then there’s temporary bans! I dunno if those have been counted

Yeah from memory most of our instance bans are gatekeeping and transphobia (and spam) which are the things we are the strictest on. We also notice that many transphobes are also bigoted or inflammatory in other ways as well, which makes sense as you wouldn’t notice someone with bigoted views unless they were very willing to voice those views.

I don’t think this is terribly meaningful. Do you take into account unmoderated communities? Some communities and mods are also more ban happy than others, so one instance can have communities that very rarely ban and ones that ban a lot, and how big those communities are will also vary.

A more meaningful analysis would try to measure the impact of ban-happy communities by adjusting for their size/activity or would compare individual communities.

Edit: Some communities or mods also get harassed a lot and therefore need to be more ban happy (like womens stuff), but I don’t think accounting for that would be within the scope of what you’re looking at.

mystic mushroom is not a dude! Ze uses ze/zir pronouns

Poster is not a guy!

There is plenty of sfw furry art? In fact there’s an example here in this post

Thank you JoJo 🫡

I have no idea how to play the game, it just felt too random for me. Maybe I’m missing something or maybe I need to play more, but other games in the genre feel like they provide more ways to control the randomness or more skill etc.

I can’t stand the consistency of chia in milk or yoghurt or anything… They get so slimy!

People keep telling me this but where are the citations backing this up?

Thanks for linking the source <3

They only go after people sharing files, and typically only people sharing lots of files. Technically when you torrent you are sharing files, but they don’t usually go after regular seeders. Sometimes your internet provider might ask you to stop being a pirate but that’s the most likely bad consequence for a regular pirate. Direct downloads, streaming, and usenet doesn’t involve actual sharing of files and so is perfectly legal, or at least not something that has consequences.

There’s also stuff you can do to make it less likely that your illicit activities will be detected, but that’s not something I know a lot about. I imagine VPNs can help with this sorta stuff.

Your wife is right that some people do go to prison for this, but that’s usually people like the ones behind pirate bay and similar.

I’m not a half queer half law person, so take what I have to say with lots of salt and pepper.

This has been up for 17 hours and the mods haven’t done shit. disgraceful

While stuff like that sucks it’s not quite comparable to what trans people go through.
