My friend, I have no idea what the question is supposed to be. You're probably referring to the comment I made on the main post here.

I love explaining things.

Bottoming Out is hitting the cervix. I've heard people use it for complete insertion of the dick, tangling pubes so to speak, but they're wrong.

Yes, position is a factor. The vagina is oriented on an angle, if you imagine drawing a line from the opening to the base of the spine, though it is flexible and can move around quite a bit amongst all the loose, squishy stuff in there. Since the majority of the nerves are concentrated at the "front," positions with the penis coming at you from behind can put a lot more pressure on the feely parts.

I don't think much of it unless it's an unsolicited opinion.

Some guys do it to signal they're not down with unfair beauty standards for women. Misguided, but their heart's in the right place.

Otherwise it's not much different from how I always say "I like a man in sweatervest."

Me and my gay/trans gang were driving out for a gay hike when one of us saw two women holding hands and was so delighted, shouted LESBIANS! so loud the lesbians spooked and stopped holding hands.

Thank you but I regret everything. But thank you.

I had to amend my will because of this.

If my corpse doesn't get shoved into the crematorium slathered in dorito juice I'm gonna screech cosmic truths in the nightmares of my loved ones.

I'm talking (mostly) out of my ass here, but it's probably because calling them "child sex dolls" might be seen to normalize the concept of sex with children. Since AI child porn is illegal, makes sense that a child sex doll is, too.

edit: Looks like there's a thing in Australian law where they are legally considered sexual abuse material.

I don't think either of us are saying it should happen. It was more of a tongue in cheek joke about how paedophiles are being used to justify censorship, identity politics and restrict freedoms.

I'm too lazy to look it up at the moment but some governments were looking into ways to tag everything made on a 3D printer so it could be traced back to an owner, but that was because of ghost guns. I don't agree with that, either.

Downvoting doesn't bother me. Feels like you took a hard left with this whole "If you're thin-skinned, then leave" thing.

I like to see downvotes, they show me if people hate something versus not being interested. If someone is downvoting everything, the community isn't for them. Opinions and disagreement are good, trolling is not.

I'm definitely not going out of my way to conduct unpaid market research about it.

This is a good point. I used to share a studio with an entrepreneur who 3D scanned people's parts to make home printed molds for custom candles.

Where did you find these wolves? So I can avoid them.

Hi!

I'm a new mod. I have two fresh coms on two instances, things have been pretty smooth.

I thought about banning when I noticed about half of my posts were being downvoted by the same user with no upvotes or engagement. I'm waiting to see if it continues, so I'm not banning them yet.

Next, I was clicking around in the Connect app trying to figure it out when it froze and I somehow banned myself from my own community. The admin here at Lemmy.Today helped me out pretty quick.

So my questions are:

Is it possible to ban someone without a post or comment, and how?

Do you think chronic downvoting is a good reason to ban someone?

How do you unban a user? Follow up, is this a good reason to make an alternate mod account just in case?

What are some of your reasons for banning people, and why?

I found a lot of great information on moderating in general, but almost nothing on how to do things. Are there any resources I might have missed?

 

Independent Media

I made an "almost anything goes" community for all things journalism a short while ago. So, this is a more serious community that only posts news, reports and editorials from independent journalists and publications. A lot of news media is owned by the same big corps, so this is an effort to expose more diverse perspectives.

Being in North America means most of my media has a western bias, but I make an effort to seek out independent, quality publications from around the world to diversify the feed. Anyone can post to this community with articles from anywhere, as long as it fits the spirit of independent journalism.
