    Unsurprising. The proposed moderation system for the platform allows child sexual assault material (csam) just as long as it is labelled. - https://github.com/bluesky-social/proposals/tree/main/0002-labeling-and-moderation-controls

    I've been using Solid Explorer for years. There's likely something better now, but it's served me well.

  • Reddit's API protest just got even more NSFW
  • skribe skribe Now 100%

    The migration from Digg (and /. beforehand) didn't happen overnight. Also subreddits didn't even appear until 2008. These things take time, and that's good. Lemmy is not ready for mass adoption, but it will be soon enough.

    Voting because someone else does or doesn't vote this way or that is sport not politics. I would hope that most people take it far more seriously.

  • What from reddit do you hope to never see on lemmy?
  • skribe skribe Now 100%

    Megathreads were an improvement over the same story being posted a hundred times (not an exaggeration).

    With regards to the question: the bigotry, the boy's clubs, the tactics to deliberately exclude some members from the conversation. I doubt Lemmy will avoid them wholesale, but maybe they will be curtailed and limited to a few instances.

    You should definitely give iOS (and other options) a go. Presuming you can afford to be wrong. It might suit your lifestyle. Then again, it might not. Never be afraid to try new stuff.

    No, I hid mine before the protest began. I'd move my lemmy app to the place RIF was in, but I haven't found one that actually works on both my (old) phone and my instance.

    Edit: found one that works.

  • Coalition could lose 35 seats as younger Australians not shifting towards conservatives as they get older
  • skribe skribe Now 100%

    TBH I don't see a way back for them.

    They've wedged themselves with this culture war nonsense. They'd need to wind that back to become popular enough to form a majority, but that would drive away their 'core' voters. I suspect they'll soon be relegated to the electoral effectiveness of One Nation. Especially as the media landscape continues to evolve.

    I wouldn't be surprised if we see someone like the Greens forming the official opposition within a few years.
