Don’t worry, he’ll be back

To approach this from a different angle, I would say this is actually an ironically encouraging sign that we are lurching in a good direction. There’s always going to be some level of racism, misogyny, homophobia, etc., but those things are mainstream enough that you have to be really hard right to beat the drum for them. It’s the kind of thing that might still play in certain areas, and with certain types or demographic, but the mainstream isn’t really down with it. Open pro-trans movements and statements are pretty new compared to these other things, so it’s just the latest in the succession of what-can-I-hate-up that authoritarian types latched onto. I have a feeling we’re lurching – and pretty quickly – toward trans becoming more mainstream

I’ve seen a lot of lag and downtime from lemmy.world off and on. It seems like they get hit with DDoS or have maintenance issues (for lack of any real IT knowledge). I get the feeling they’re getting squeezed and targeted because they’re the flagship instance, but that’s just speculation on my part.

(Posting from kbin.social in case that matters.)

I want this on a T-shirt.

I’ve been toying with the idea of getting one of those. Would you do it again? Do you have any regrets or maybe wish you’d installed it on something else?

Plot twist: those are trees and the mushrooms are next to a cliff

No shit. It’s either complete obliviousness or the most straight-faced trolling ever performed.

Is there a way yet to block an entire instance’s posts, or is that beyond what you can do as a user?
