does people associating their name on their twitter account count as doxxing?

in that case i have some huge news on who owns the @elonmusk account

Okay goodness call me a liar, damn. I could have just ignored your request for knowledge or told you what I happen to know off the top of my head with no evidence, but I went out of my way to find you two citations. And because I am so fucking nice here is a third: https://www.definder.net/Shawty_got_tha_fatty

Thank you for letting me know I will never miss any nourishing conversation by blocking you.

Upvotes and downvotes don’t have the same meaning on UD as Reddit etc. And also I hope it’s obvious to you that words can have several different meanings.

Anyway I am not here for debate, this is a slang term I am familiar with and use/am exposed to frequently in the exact way that I described it to you. Here is another citation that describes the slang term: https://genius.com/29947121

I offered a systemic solution to one element of a systemic problem and now you are getting angry at me that my single-faceted solution doesn’t cover every minute facet of social change. I am sorry that you cannot accept a single marginal suggestion without going into full on rage mode. Ending the conversation here.

in a crazy twist, both parents and conservative media exist. and what world do you live in? i see conservative media call for homophobia and homophobic violence all the fucking time.

by attacking the media structures and funding that manipulate them. (this is not a fix all solution. obviously. but it is taking action against the most materially funded arm of the propagation of conservative values. i hope it can be one of many tools leftists use to push for justice and dignity.)

[-] spujb@lemmy.cafe 2 points 8 hours ago

i’ll do that. thanks for the recommendation.

id believe it if there was a single outlet doing original reporting :/ all of them are just reading verbatim the same screenshots we have here. some of them bother to put the word “allegedly” in.

[-] spujb@lemmy.cafe 3 points 10 hours ago

I share that understanding. Thanks for your response. I initially planned to include a similar NSFW example in my post but removed it to avoid distracting those already not reading and labeling me a bootlicker. 😅

db0 (admin of this instance) has also agreed elsewhere in this thread that separate report buttons for different moderating groups are a good idea.

Your phrasing, “Not abuse of federation but definitely something,” captures it well. It's an unfortunate mix of imperfect UX and imperfect administration.

this is likely satire/a publicity stunt by the way

Disclaimer: Fuck the rich and please consider reading 1 paragraph before you go to comments to explain how I am a bootlicker. Thank you ٩(•͈ ꇴ •͈)و ̑̑❀

For context, I generally report all calls to violence, no matter who the “victim” is, whether they are a public figure or an anonymous user. I didn’t even register that the person I was “defending” was rich—I’m just aware that calls to violence are against most instances’ terms of service (due to legal threats). Genuinely sorry seahorse! I wish you just had something in your instance sidebar or even spoke to me instead of jumping to ban and “lib” insults!

Unverifiable information you will have to take my word for (per community rules)
Apologized to seahorse and got:

My own personal curiosities only adjacently relatedCorrect me if I’m wrong, isn’t this a bit of an abuse of federation? This is the same admin that pulled the move with the doxxing of Nick Fuentes. By banning users for reporting content that may violate our local instance rules, seahorse is making our local instances harder to moderate for our admins. (Honestly I respect the commitment to the running a very open and uncensored instance, but until Lemmy has the option to only report to local admins versus local & federated authorities, this may not be the best strategy?)

Anyway, this is pretty interesting. I’m honestly not too pressed about this (mostly I will miss !theonion@midwest.social) and curious what yall think. :)

do evil games expect evil prizes, thank you Rainer Forst

edit: this is a pedagogical post, not a philosophical one. i actually fully agree with the paradox of tolerance and its conclusion! i just find that it doesn’t work as well as an educational tool for introducing people to the concept. sorry for any confusion :)

I disavow the ignorance displayed in the statement that “Feminists always think women are better than men.” But felt important to share how well received such a message is received on this site.
