Ctrl+F "tankie" and replace it with "authoritarianism apologist", then. 🤷‍♀️ I can't say your opinion means much to me if it boils down to a semantic argument.

I once had a coworker call the police on me because I look like a stoner and was smoking a Black and Mild in my car on my break. (One of my regulars love them so I wanted to try it)

The police pulled me over for going 9mph over the limit at 11:30pm... 3 police cars and a K9 unit rolled up and the dog did the alert for drugs. I've literally never smoked weed in my car, and at that point hadn't smoked at all, anywhere, for years.

Moral of the story, if they bring out the dog, they're going to make it give them the "search the car" signal.

"cheese"

call it what u want, i want it coursing through my veins

The Summit app has a setting to automatically mark duplicate posts as read, but I can't vouch for how well it works since I don't use it much.

Point being, though, it's definitely doable! At least on the client side.

196 mods are a bunch of shitlibs

I'm literally a trans socialist, and 100% of the other mods are either gay or trans. We're as left as left gets.

I'll say it as many times as I have to: The move had nothing to do with politics. There's a lot of value in Ada's style of moderation, because cishet people have damn near the whole internet to serve as their "safe space" for the lack of a better term, so the value of having a dedicated queer instance is enormous. Her work means that communities like !queer_defense_front@lemmy.blahaj.zone already have the vast majority of the work done for them.

By and large, we are in agreement with Ada and her mod actions. (We don't tolerate transphobes, racists, etc., and that didn't change after the move). Where we disagree is things like Kolanaki getting banned for saying he wants to learn to be an ally but can't ask about trans topics without getting negative replies. In a community like QDF it would make sense to remove the comment because it's not the time or place for his input, but on 196 we feel like it'd be a lot more productive to teach him what he can do better to engage with us more effectively, rather than assume he's incapable of doing so. He's never said anything transphobic in either of the 196s I mod for, and I see no reason he shouldn't be welcomed in the community.

And it's worth noting that !196@lemmy.world is still free of transphobes/racists/tankies/etc., despite the panic.

Isn't this person in the government or something? (cba to Google)

Yuuuuuuup.

How so? I'm not about to watch all 2hrs 17m to find out tbh lol

Edit: Looking at the comments, it seems like she has a lot of republicans in her audience... I've listened for about 10m, though, and I'm not hearing anything bad.
