The only recent removed post from this community related to the UAP hearings was an hour ago and the modlog shows exactly what was removed and why it was removed: because it failed to provide a link to the direct news article.

I think it would have been fair to have a rule saying "no surgical modifications"... because doing things like facelift, nose-job, breast/buttox implants, cheek lifts, wrinkle removal, etc, are obviously unfair advantages (in a beauty contest) for those who have the money pay for it; and having a generic blanket rule like that would have accomplished the same thing they were trying to accomplish without being so blatantly transphobic... so a rule like what they have only proves that they are both despicable AND dumb. The entire notion of beauty pageants is outdated and stupid if you ask me.

What I hate most about a lot of series is that they come up with a good beginning and a decent middle, but no end. And so if it gets popular enough they just try to coast on the decent midddle indefinitely until loyal viewers get bored and the writing becomes monotonous, millking the life out of it. So many good shows devolve into this that it's hard for me to want to invest my time into any new series.

I think mini-series is the better format where they have a defined beginning, middle, end from the start. This is essentially thd packaged format of a movie, just longer.

I just realized...you're on kbin.social, which already publicly exposes which users downvoted something. Traditional lemmy instances don't expose that info, so it didn't make sense to me that it'd be possible to relate toxicity to downvoting. Kbin does it differently.

I'm not saying I doubt this, but I would like to know what data points you used to get to that conclusion. What platforms do you have access to where you can see how users downvoted in order for you to have concluded there's a correlation between serial downvoting and toxicity?

Since I don't associate LGBTQ+ with child-grooming, that notion never occurred to me. But now that you mention it, and knowing the current sad state of the current political climate, that point sounds entirely plausible. Thank you for pointing that out.

gosh it isn’t “narcissist” to not “check the latest couple dozen posts

"I just discovered this thing, and since it's new to me I immediately conclude that no one else has seen it either because the horizon of my reality extends no farther than the diameter of my own head"...is absolutely narcissist.

The opposite of narcissism is considering that other people exist, and that other people might have found it and posted it first, and to assume they have until you do some minimum amount of diligence to find out. That minimum amount of diligence is just checking for recent posts on the same topic - it's not rocket science - it's just having the basic minimum amount of social-awareness to consider there are other people in that community who may have already posted it.

People get downvoted by others who disagree with them or just don't like what they said. The same comment would get upvoted in one community and downvoted in another.

I don't think sorting a user's comments by controversal is going to get you the data points you think it will.

I still think it would be a cool feature, mostly for the novelty of it, but I do not believe it will be anywhere close to a measure of how inflammatory a user is.

Not op, but still curious... what is wrong with .zip domains?

I got mine used - so it came with some wear already, and even still has been one of the best vehicles I've owned.

Thanks for clarifying your earlier comment.

Hard to know the true motives of the blahaj admin - could be they felt this was the only way to protect their community from a perceived evil, could be they were just offended that the LemmyNSFW admin had the audacity to stand their ground on principle, could be they personally objected to nsfw content and this was as plausible a reason as any to act on the desire to defederate. I see they are still federated with a few other much smaller porn/nsfw instances.
