Appealing to “Well, it impacts you too” is great for what it’s worth, but it misses the point that we should be focused on inequality above and beyond the stuff that impacts you specifically.

If you’ve got privilege, resentment is inevitable, and you need to come to terms with it. If the resentment is sufficient excuse to bow out and choose not to do what you can to work at dismantling that privilege gap, well, the resentment is well earned, because you’re part of the problem.

But if you genuinely understand that resentment of inequality is inevitable, and also essential to drive the dismantling of it, then you’ll find a way of dealing with it, because justified resentment is pretty low on the list of issues that need to be addressed in the moment.

And the thing about privilege, is that the people with it, are the people best positioned to dismantle it. So if you genuinely care about the inequity, that should drive you to stay invested.

Of course, everyone has limited capacity, but even so, you can still choose to make decisions when voting, you can still choose to call out your peers, and you can make sure you don’t steal the stage from folk who lack your privilege.

It’s true of issues around racism, sexism, ableism, financial inequity and anything else where disparity exists. You don’t owe it to throw yourself in everything and burn yourself out, but you can still choose to make good choices on every one of those topics.

Even if you’re not invited to feminist spaces, you can still do the work. And if you are invited, make the most of it, don’t steal the spotlight, and, do the work

You shouldn’t be afraid of different orientations. Embrace difference!

Why would someone host a server and pay for it out of their own pocket, when the protocol just turns in to an invisible piece of infrastructure that people don’t even know exists?

AP instances allow for communities and identity to build around them, so there is a non monetary incentive to running them, but what’s the incentive to run an equivalent on bluesky and make it public?

On my OM1 Mkii it’s called live composite mode

The Sixth Sense. I didn’t predict the twist because I didn’t know it had a twist, so when it dropped, it absolutely delivered.

Same with Memento, but less so, because I was actively trying to work out what was happening. The twist caught me by surprise, but I knew some sort of reveal was coming

It’s a computational mode in the camera. It takes an initial photo, and then a series of photos of equal length, and composites any new light on the subsequent photos on the first. In this case, from memory, it’s 5 photos at one second exposure each.

Basically, it lets you do a long exposure, without blowing out static light sources.

There’s a slight post processing change to the colour, to bring out the orange/teal effect, but it’s pretty subtle

Edit - FYI, your reply was tagged as German, which means that non german speakering lemmy users probably won’t see it, because most instances hide replies of languages the user doesn’t speak

33 minute old account, and this is your first post?

So to clarify, at the time you made your post here, the drama was that I briefly thought a faked screenshot was real?

Ok, now I recognise the scenario you are talking about, I’ll respond with specifics.

These are the messages I sent you, when you reached out to me asking to set up a community on blahaj.zone

Despite these messages, after you created the community, the second post you made to the it was a meme targeting hexbear.

tl;dr, The conditions were clear. You agreed to them. You then ignored them. The only drama here is of your making

You were acting in bad faith when you reached out, and you’re acting in bad faith now

So you “ironically” posted a transphobic meme, in response to nothing in particular, and the drama is that it was moderated?

I’ll stand by my original comment. If you take issue with that, then blahaj.zone was never the space for you. I would do it again

As near as I can tell, Ada defended Obvious_Troll because they were from Hexbear, and Ada seems to think every Hexbear user is trans

There are no hexbear based accounts on blahaj.zone and have not been for a long time.

I once posted a meme to a Blahaj community I moderated in which someone named Obvious_Troll@hexbear.net

Hexbear was defederated from Blahaj Zone long before you were active here, so your recollection is flawed.

If you’re talking about the person I think, then that account is from aussie.zone, where they still have an active account, which would be unlikely if it was simply a troll account.

If it is the person I think, then they were accused of being a troll because they used pronouns that many people found challenging.

I’m not going to gatekeep pronouns. If someone trolls, I’ll respect their pronouns even as I ban then

If you’ve got an issue with that, blahaj.zone was never the right space for you. If that’s “fedidrama” for you, then blahaj.zone was never the right space for you.

The proposal I saw was basically a way of “signing” your posts, and then when they federate somewhere else, you can create an account on another instance and “claim” the posts that have federated there as yours, with your private key.

Obviously, you couldn’t access posts that never federated to the instance in the first place, but even with some lost content, it would let you edit, and post new content.

And as I understood this proposal, basically, you could have multiple active accounts, all of which are “you”, and allow you to control your content with the same permissions.

A meme is by definition a repost though. The reuse is literally what makes it a meme.

There are multiple governments, political parties and hate groups explicitly focused on taking away my rights and ensuring I can’t exist safely and openly.

It’s got nothing to do with personality. I’m exposed to a barrage of hateful media targeting folk like me every single day, and it’s next to impossible to escape.

So finding spaces where I can just not have to deal with that shit is important

White listing encourages centralisation because it makes it really hard for new communities/instances to develop the trust they need to be included in existing white list circles.

Assuming that “bigots” is not a synonym for “anyone I disagree with”, then fair enough.

Why would it be?

My underlying point is that technology is making it very easy to wall ourselves off into comfortable echo chambers

Your experience is different to mine. I wish I could wall myself off from people who want to remove my rights and target me with hate, but I’ve yet to find a way of doing that.
