That user has a sick UI theme, though!
that user is me XD (i want to try out more fedi software)
What are you using where you have those options?
The 90s are asking to get back that UI.
Tell them to get fucked, it’s ours now!
TIL Wafrn let’s you post on both Bluesky and mastodon https://wafrn.net/
Tech should be made more accesible. Having the fediverse is nice and all, but if someone was to ask me “i don’t like reddit, what do you recommend?” I can’t even introduce them to how lemmy instances work without some eyebrows being raised let alone the whole concept of the fediverse.
What’s the drama?
Short version:
So it got public (or something) that a larger personality did go after a trans person and the bsky moderation team looked over it and decided to change the tos for them instead of a ban what would be appropriate as they threatened another user.
And like the entire black/trans/ally community got pissed and some part of them are now seeking new “lands”About the Waffles: Charlie Kirk liked them so a lot of people wanting to align with him are posting a bunch of waffle pictures in solidarity
Connection to Bsky: i dont know. Its a new dogwhistleI don’t think the waffles thing has anything to do with Charlie Kirk. It’s an evolution of this Twitter joke that’s being used as an excuse to ignore criticism of any kind: https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackPeopleTwitter/comments/78fbwg/so_you_hate_waffles/
Why does kiwifarms seem to come up lately in places I would not expect. It seems like people who become victims of their harassment have actively engaged with them at some point, and continue to feed them rather than ignore them. Which leads to things getting worse, and eventually things like death threats.
Online harassers, if you ignore them, try harder until you cannot. They’re no ordinary trolls.
The waffles thing is because Jesse Singal keeps referencing a tweet that says something to the effect of “people take someone saying ‘I like pancakes’ to mean ‘I hate waffles’”, which, yeah, if you’re saying “I like straight white Christian men” you’re probably saying you hate at least some other groups but anyway that’s where the dog whistle came from.
Something to do with waffles, I can’t make sense of it.
i replied to the other person with the context, writing you so you get a ping
Thanks
