Nah, if you can mod an app in the first place, it wouldn’t take you long to bypass this.

Text is never going to need the tag. To the contrary, if you’re at work reading text posts, and it’s tagged NSFW, it draws the eye more.
Tagging text posts would defeat the entire purpose of the tag in its useful purpose.
Drug use isn’t NSFW anyway, not in images or text.
Yup, same here.
What’s bad is that some of my family still like to get all pissy when I tell them to gtfo when they come to me for an answer after they’ve wasted my time by arguing over things they had come to me for in the past.
Don’t ask me your random crap, wait for me to give a good answer, then argue with me. Even if I was wrong, why the hell did you come up me in the first place if you didn’t think I knew what you were asking about?
Like you, if I don’t know, I say I don’t know. And I’ll be clear about any gaps or uncertainty. More rigorously than I do online because idgaf about random online opinions, and I still usually follow those rules online.
For a couple of years, I would tell my sister that I’m not her private google after she made a habit of wasting my time asking things and then arguing things that she didn’t know in the first place, and arguing wrong things. Just got tired of being taken for granted.
Mind you, if she’d heard the answer and just asked more questions, discussing the matter, it would be fine. But saying things as utterly infuriating as “but it said on facebook”, and “I don’t believe you” pushed me to my patience limit lol. Like, what? If you didn’t think I was reliable after the hundreds of things I was right about before, why did you even ask?
You gotta check torrents, soulseek, and i2p sources. The more obscure something is, the less likely you’ll find it on the one-stop sources.
There’s never any guarantees with any of them, but it you’re patient and willing to check regularly over a few weeks, I find soulseek to be the best bet for the really obscure stuff. The problem is that not everybody that hoards obscure files stays online constantly, so you have to spend the time on finding things before giving up on it.
Damn. That’s brutal.
I’ve used that phrase myself in the past, and never thought of this, despite having done hospice care. Thanks for the perspective. That’s serious, you made me rethink things.
People are morons
No, we super super promise!
Okay, I troll the hell out of vegans online, because it’s easy and always entertaining. So, anyone coming along after this, take that into account.
But, you nailed it. There’s a subsection of vegans that treat it like a religion, and anyone else as infidels. That superiority complex, the smugness is a huge detriment to vegan living and principles.
But (and here’s why I made the disclaimer), they’re a minority overall. I know too many vegans irl that are chill, wonderful people following their beliefs and ideals without being jerks about it. Vegetarians too, though that’s tangential.
It’s really online that the asshole hats get put on the most, and usually only on sites/services that make it easy to be anonymous. Which is a good thing! Anonymous discourse is not just important, it’s vital to part of humans becoming better than what we are. But there will always be people that hide their true selves until they’re anonymous and can feel safe, and that includes people that are smug, arrogant assholes down deep. It also includes people that don’t feel safe being an outsider or dissenter, and people that are awesome down deep, but have to keep up a front irl.
Anyway my point is that we, the non vegans of the world, have to be careful to not forget the human. Vegans are mostly deeply compassionate, kind souls that want the best for anyone and everyone, including animals. We don’t have to agree with them, just remember that the loudest, most obnoxious voices aren’t the sum total of the vegan community.
Tbh, I’ve done all the calling out I feel useful. I get you for sure, but I’m old enough that a single callout is about my limit. I say my peace, then report (in the case of something this rude), then block.
Yah, that would be a great solution in comparison, but it’s still privacy invasive. Not as bad, but it’s still not giving people due process.
Which, not everywhere in the world recognizes that principle as a right, I am aware. But I do consider due process a right, and scanning anything on anyone’s devices without a legally justifiable reason is a violation of that.
I’m not willing to kowtow to a moral panic and just ignore the erosion of privacy “because the children”. And it is a moral panic. As bad as it is, as much as I personally would enjoy five minutes alone with someone that’s making or using kiddie porn of any stripe, it simply isn’t such a common thing that stripping everyone of their privacy, in any way is acceptable.
They wanna figure out a way to target individuals suspected of that kind of crime, awesome. Untargeted, sweeping invasions simply are not acceptable, and I do not care what the purported reason of the week is; kiddie porn, terrorism, security, stopping drugs, I do not care. I have committed no crime, and refuse to give away the presumption of innocence for myself or anyone else.
Gods, people are just dumb.
I am so glad lemmy has a block function
This is not a criticism.
I see this and I imagine someone taking a deep ass bong rip and saying “hey man, you ever notice that cake rhymes with fake, so you could say that everything fake is cake, heh heh heh cough”
Look, just because people don’t agree that a specific method will be effective, that doesn’t mean they support it.
That’s shitty thinking, and even shittier behavior. You should be ashamed of yourself for going there in what was previously a civil, friendly discussion.
Yeah, orientation is a bit off, but if it’s used in the sense of “finding the direction”, it makes more sense. I still would have picked something like intrinsic attraction as the term, since it runs a bit closer to how things seem to work.
It wouldn’t. Anyone into that shit will just go somewhere else, and the price of that is yet another erosion of privacy.
Frankly, good.
There has yet to be any of these purported “child protection” scams that would do a damn thing for kids, and only invades the privacy of people that have zero reason to be investigated in the first place
Yup, that’s how I do it tbh. I’m on mullvad and unwilling to switch at this point. Kinda sucks, but that’s how it is
Sexual preference = kinks, positions, etc
Sexual orientation = the spectrum with hetero and homosexuality at either end, and adjacent categories such as asexuality.
Identity = a presentation of a social aspect, or the internal self-label for such things.
In other words, furry world be an identity, with yiff being a sexual preference.
First caveat: sexual preference used to be what sexual orientation is, but as society shifted to understanding that one’s sexual attractions to the gender spectrum aren’t actually voluntary, they’re inborn, preference was no longer applicable. As such, sexual preference fell out of use for that, but it’s still sometimes used as language catches up. Of more import for this comment is that the use of the term for sexual activities that are preferred is fairly new, I’ve only run across it in the last two years.
Second caveat: these aren’t dictionary definitions. Dictionaries take longer than people to codify usage changes. These are my attempt at codifying the definitions I’ve seen in the wild, and can’t be taken as authoritative, only as an attempt at clarification with all this taken into account.
I would argue that only revolution will stop them, but it would be nice to have a peaceful option work instead
You shut your dirty mouth!
