That's because I manually marked your account as verified.

We're not defederated from them or vice versa. As you can see, we are fully up to date with each other on both ends. You can also check the instances list of both sites.

If I had to guess, I would say that it is your language settings, which probably don't explicitly include estonian. So anyone on that instance who tags their post or comment with an estonian language flag will be invisible to you.

Literally wishing that I was trans so that I could access bottom surgery

Not who you're asking, but I wouldn't have wanted to be born cis

[–] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Me. Before I transitioned, and in my early days of transition, sure, I'd have made that choice if it were available to me. But now, years in? Fuck no. I don't want to be cis.

What is going on with your moral compass that you believe that sometimes, funding bigots doesn't make you a shitty person, yet also lets you believe that disagreeing with you on that issue topic is enough to qualify someone as a shitty person?

If you can make an exception for people funding Rowling, you can make space for them disagreeing with you, without pretending that they're the problem

Apologies if this question comes off as insulting, but just to confirm, if you're shooting manual, when you adjust the ISO to keep the exposure value the same right? The photo you've got there looks slightly underexposed to me

That being said, assuming you are keeping the exposure value equal, then conventional wisdom says that you get slightly less contrast (including colour contrast) with a wide open aperture. So if you set the ISO faster, and don't change your shutter speed, your aperture will be smaller, and you should be getting more colour contrast.

On top of that, each lens has its own "sweet spot" where it gives you the best image quality (sharpness, contrast, saturation etc) generally but not always somewhere around f/8.

So if you haven't already, true adjusting your ISO to 160, and getting your aperture as close to f/8 as you can, and adjust the shutter speed to achieve that.

So, it turns out that PieFed has instance staff that exist between community mod and admin!

 

Kaity has just spun up a PieFed instance, which is open to anyone that wants to try it out.

PieFed is part of the "Threadiverse" along with lemmy and mbin. If you are already reading this in lemmy, then you already know what PieFed is about.

If you're curious to try it out, or if you're just looking for a way to avoid lemmy, you can find it at https://piefed.blahaj.zone/

Like our lemmy instance, we have set PieFed applications to require manual approval, but if you're already a member of our lemmy instance, you can get auto approved by our modbot by quoting your registration code somewhere in your application.

No lo creo. Al menos, mi novia nunca dice nada de eso

 

Thanks to Kaity Blåhaj PIx and Blåhaj Tube are up and running!

Feel free to check them out!

For now, it's just me moderating, so applications to join may not be instant. If we start to get busy, we'll onboard some more mods in the future.

Enjoy!

I have to admit, I'm pretty excited. The 100MP main camera is nice and all, but that 50MP telephoto lens is what I'm really excited about!

 

This post is "FYI only" for blahaj lemmy members. It is not a debate, and is not intended for non blahaj lemmy users to weigh in and offer opinions.

I recently received reports of a feddit.uk user espousing transphobia. Specifically, this was a feddit.uk user refusing to use the word cis, repeating the "adult human female" dog whistle, and claiming that trans women are not women. I approached a member of the feddit.uk admin team and raised my concerns and sought clarification of their stance on posts like this, where the transphobia is mostly dogwhistles, and "civil disagreement" on the validity of trans folk.

I was told by the feddit.uk admin that their preferred response is this kind of transphobia is to "sort it out through discussion and voting". However, the comments in question are currently more upvoted than downvoted, and little "sorting out" has occurred. The posts remain in place.

At this point, the admin stopped responding to my messages despite being active elsewhere on lemmy. When it became clear they were ignoring my messages and had no intention of removing the posts in question, I made the decision to defederate the instance.

I know some folk agree with the feddit.uk admins approach of pushback through discussion and voting, but this instance is not designed to be that kind of space. Blahaj lemmy is meant to be a place where we can avoid the rampant transphobia universally visible on nearly every other social media platform, and where we can exist without needing to debate our right to do so.
