Motherly advice
  • No, anarchists don't force others to take arrest risks they're not willing to. Everyone has their own tolerances and they can support the cause in their own way. Stop trying to pressure people.

    I'm not the kind of person who goes to some other's community and starts hitting the report buttons because someone insulted me (although I am fairly sure I did that as well when I reported the rule 7 violation once?). I would assume your own established people who do that themselves instead of attacking me for reminding them their own comm rules. Surely you don't think that it's my responsibility to police your comms and report whenever I see yet another thread attacking our admins and instance? For me, this is a culture issue.

    if I may what is the db0 process for handling disputes for mod actions?

    We haven't had to establish any particular process. We have an appeals matrix channel if needed, but we haven't had anyone disputing our mod actions yet.

    Do you think that if one of your moderators was sent a direct message calling them a piece of shit, you would act differently?

    Yes! In fact, I have had some of your users PM me before because I banned them from a community because they were harassing random people. I just laughed at them and then reported and blocked them on the second PM I also receive mention pings from your comms which is how I sometimes find these threads after they've been going on for a while. Lately I've been sometimes searching my alias, since new threads kept popping up so often.

    Question: Is there no nuance in your world? Am I some random troll? No, you know very well who I am and why I reacted the way I did, or if you can't possibly understand why I would react so badly and out of character for me, did it not strike you as something that would require some clarification before acting? Because from where I'm standing, you were just looking for an excuse to ban me. Much like that mod who admitted they were just looking for any excuse to ban me from their comm because I annoyed them with my mere existence.

    And fair's fair, you can ban whoever you want, but if you do a) don't act like this was some neutral decision and b) don't spread disinfo that I "harassed your admins" because I justifiably insulted one of them, once, after they insulted me first and deleted all my non-rule breaking comments trying to defend our instance from disinfo.

    I dispute the accusation that there were 10 different posts, rather there were three that are removed. If there are others, please send me the link so that they can be addressed.

    Historically, ever since I upset hexbears by rejecting left-unity, 10 sounds about right. Just off the top of my head there's the one about the removed post where I was banned. The one where they attacked unruffled. The one where they attacked my pfp. The one where they attacked me for posting a meme in /c/anarchism. The three you removed after my meme. I am not keeping links mate, this is not so important to me. But the constant hate trend is undeniable, let's not kid ourselves.

    I think you will find there are many threads flinging insults and disinfo about us and I would say that I don’t feel the need to defend, in fact had you or Unruffled heeded my advice about making a non-admin account to comment/post on we would not be in this situation.

    How can I possibly comment about the rationale for removing a post in /c/piracy with a pseudonymous account?

    As strange as it sounds, I commented inside hexbear threads because I still see some value in your opinions of us. I wouldn't go to a fascist instance to defend myself (I would just defed them). But in order to have any chance to do that inside hexbear, I need an extremely hard shell around me because of the massive toxicity and bad faith I have to face, toxicity which gets thicker and thicker with every new thread about us allowing to fester. So I am compelled to defend my instance as myself when I see disinfo about how we're "defending corporations" or some other typical uncharitable shit. In the last thread, I tried to do this as calmly as humanly possibly while one of your peeps threw ableism in my face, and even that wasn't enough.

    Likewise, you don't go to defend yourselves in every reactionary comm because you don't care about their opinions, but you came in this thread to do so, even using an alt to do so,for similar drive to myself. You intuitively understand why I do what I do.

    Is it fair to expect the admins to individually review over 3 million comments without having reports to guide us to those made in violation of rules?

    Maybe not, it's also not fair to expect us to act as the hexbear police. Your own community should be self-reporting as needed instead of turning a blind eye when it's someone they love to hate.

    After all this, I still don't have any hate in my heart for hexbear and I'm probably the only reason we haven't de-federated you. However I don't think it's true for you peeps and I think that's sad that so many in your community are so hell bent on burning this bridge because they can't tolerate me being against "left unity" or being cowered by the constant bullying.

  • that's the one!

  • Based on recent events
  • I'm literally getting pinged from inside hexbear after being banned, from people cackling that I can't respond.

  • Based on recent events
  • I literally reported posts publicly for rule 7 violation, at which point I got abused for saying that. To my knowledge none of the people who did this were sanctioned.

    Also, I'm not particularly interested in training your cops. It's your whole culture that created 10 different posts shitting on our instance and our admins and that is not fixed by more prompt reporting.

    Say what you will about random people complaining about hexbear, it's individuals here and there. if you had threads upon threads dedicated to flinging insults and disinfo about your instance and your admins, I suspect you might want to defend yourself sometime, like you felt compelled to do just now.

  • There's at least 10 threads in hexbear about me and the instance full of insults and disinfo. Also this is not Wikipedia

  • Wait what do you you mean "keeps posting"? This is the only thing I've posted about hexbear for months!

  • Based on recent events
  • You know what's funnier? The reason they're so obsessed with me is because I don't take this infighting seriously. I don't know if any of my comments remained after they banned me, but my modus operandi is to just self deprecate or be sarcastic towards insults. This, it appears, has been intolerable, which is why their admin was looking for any excuse to ban me.

    However what is actually frustrating is the follow up propaganda, where they pretend and keep repeating that they banned me for being "reactionary" and "harassment", both of which are blatantly false. But they'll keep repeating it forever now, attempting to character assassinate me every opportunity. It's this dishonesty I just can't stomach.

    RFC: Moving the Godot Card Game Framework to an MIT License
    github.com MIT License · Issue #189 · db0/godot-card-game-framework

    Hey everyone. I'm thinking of moving this framework to an MIT license. With my other work on my FOSS, I haven't had much time to maintain it anymore and move it to Godot 4 and sadly I don't see a l...

    MIT License · Issue #189 · db0/godot-card-game-framework

    I've started the CGF some years ago to learn Godot and to provide something to the community. I even made a few FOSS games with it.

    Sadly my work with my other FOSS projects and the fediverse doesn't give me enough time to keep it up to date and to migrate it to Godot 4 and since the engine is picking up a ton of speed, I think it's a shame people have to keep rediscovering the card game wheel.

    I know a lot of people avoid it due to the AGPL3 license, so I am thinking of switching to an MIT license instead in the hopes that others will help carry the torch until I find time to circle back to it. There's always pitfalls with MIT of course, such as some company trying to enclose it and sell it as a service, but perhaps peer pressure would be enough of a deterrent at this time.

    Anyway. Just opening this up for discussion.

    The board's decision on Haidra as a Nivenly project

    The Generative AI haters and luddites won the day and bullied Nivenly to remove Haidra, even without clear majority in opposition or a quorum.

    I will write a post-mortem about this situation soonish.
