holy shit, I’ve been reading this url as “sh, it just works” for MONTHS and was super ??? about what it meant. I only just now realized it’s “shit just works” and…oh. that makes a lot of sense.

so I totally get your point. For example, a therapy group that says, “this is a free speech area” and has 8 members who are all queer, would probably not mean it as a dogwhistle, and in that case, it also probably would not be one. But also, they wouldn’t be saying it to anyone other than those 8 members.
The thing is, in this case it legit does not matter the intent, they are saying it on a public chat forum. That makes it a dogwhistle regardless of intentionality, and it will be recognized as such, because if you say that on a public platform on the internet, guess who will hear it.
And now no matter what their intention is, if they didn’t want it to be a dogwhistle, it was one, and now their moderation is 10000x as difficult, because look who they’ve attracted the attention of now - and chased away.
I’d argue, it’s always a dogwhistle. You might not realize you’re using a dogwhistle, but you definitely are.
In other words, “free speech platform” is not actually “free speech platform,” rather it is a dogwhistle.
Seems entirety of reddit had a brief downtime earlier according to some other thread that I can’t find anymore
just wait, reddit is 100% going to sunset old.reddit within the next year
lol I debated, but it sounded nicer to say community
(not this community specifically)
This is a kbin community :P
But, then what ?
Okay so this is the first time I’m actually interested in following a Mastadon account via kbin. Um…this is what microblog is for right? Is there a place I can see posts from just my followers?
ahh I get what you mean. makes sense, and I love this idea!
so that Fediverse users know why a seemingly random post has been added.
Don’t disagree with the tag necessarily, but why should it be random? analogous magazines exist for pretty much everything. You can post it to the right place.
I’ve joined a ton of new discords in the past few weeks. they’re keeping me together until the threadiverse takes off.
Were you a subreddit mod? In this case my advice would be to contact the existing mods of the lemmy communities / kbin magazines and see if one of them is willing to hand the community over to you (add you as mod, they step down). If so, you’ve found your new home!
(you may want to re-make your account on the instance that you’re primarily spending time on, for convenience, in case federation doesn’t work for several hours at a time here and there, etc)
1, I realized I do, but its a js snippet to remove magazines’ custom styles. I disabled and tried again and same thing. For reference though, here’s where it’s happening
2. atm my firefox window is slightly wider than 1080 pixels.
Hi! I installed it, and a couple pieces of feedback:
I love this though!
yeahhhhhhh if boost came with like a menu: “Boost to: -Your Personal Microblog -Magazine’s Microblog [pick] -Magazine as Article [pick]”
then the feature would be pretty baller
(actually im not sure if your personal microblog exists so…maybe just the other 2)
hahaha this is probably the best one here
Huh? Didn’t they start this like last month? Or is this not the “get money from your contributions” thing?
