Why would I want to follow either account?

Well, it’s a list of "well maintained/moderated servers

Any server that federates with threads, a product of Meta a company known for their low quality moderation and lack of ethics, is clearly not a well maintained/moderated one.

It’s not a new rule. The admin is just applying the sites rules as they are, instead of making exception for threads as many of the techbro admins that are getting their servers excluded have been doing.

I don’t have iOS, so I never used voyager. And to be honest, it’s been a lot since I used a mobile app to access Beehaw; I only do so through the web.

Now with the moving away from Lemmy to a different software confirmed, I’m waiting to see what the options are for the new platform and choose a new app from that.

The moment it was confirmed that Musk would buy it, I left the platform.

I think part of the issue with Ello was that they sell themselves as non-corporative social media while maintaining two of the most important characteristics of corporative social media:

• Centralisation and lack of federation
• Being closed-source

The story would have gone completely different if they

• Had made it open-source allowing users to contribute to the project, both as devs and through donations.

• Added decentralisation and federation, allowing others to make their own Ello servers. This could have taken a lot of weight (financial and otherwise) from the developers/founders. Users cost money. Dividing the user base within different servers, pay by and moderated by different people means dividing the costs.

You say this as if the US weren’t behind most atrocities in the world. Of course they won’t do anything.

You say this as if there weren’t like fifty twitter-style microblogging fediverse software

I agree with everyone saying it should be used for things relating to Beehaw.

The plans to move to other platform are still ongoing, aren’t they? I guess that would take time and resources…

Also, I know it’s much work, but having another server in a different type of software wouldn’t be a bad idea.

Or whatever you feel that would be useful, but the money donated for Beehaw should be used on Beehaw related things.

I would prefer if Beehaw remained federated, but, as it is, I understand that the options of software for a platform like Beehaw on the fediverse are lacking on many aspect and started something new requires time,knowledge, and money.

Last year hasn’t been a good year for me, to be fair. I’ve been having some health problems (luckily I’m on medical treatment and it’s nothing serious)

I don’t expect much from this year, but I hope to be able to do more things (and be once again active in the fediverse) now that my health issues are more controlled.

New year celebrations were alright. I expend it with the family.

Aren’t there ways to automatically scan the content of posts to detect csam and other disturbed content?

Because completely disallowing images isn’t the solution. For once, people can still share those things through links. And secondly, there are people who need images and the like to communicate.

This might be the best option.

A question about federation (if Beehaw decides to go the non-federated software to federated path), is ActivityPub the best option to re-federate the new Beehaw (if it happens)? It’s too big and maybe you could reinstate federation with a different protocol and then, if it all goes well, incorporate ActivityPub.

Basically, Lemmy communities and Kbin magazines are federated as groups to the micro and macroblogging fediverse. People in friendica, mastodon or Firefish can interact with Lemmy and kbin by mentioning a community/magazine in their posts and following them the way they do with other types of federated groups (like guppe, chirp, friendica forums, etc)

Pixelfed didn’t have federates group support, meaning that its federation with the threadiverse was bad, not to say practically non-existent. Supporting federated groups and even having its own type of group will allow people on pixelfed to interact with Lemmy and Kbin the way other fediverse software do: following them and tagging the community/magazine handle in posts.

short summary: It means better federation between Pixelfed, and Lemmy and Kbin.

I never used brave. I wasn’t interested in it since I learned it was chromium and all the crypto stuff.

What they don’t seem to understand is that in the fediverse it’s them who are responsible for curating their own experience, there’s no big content algorithm doing it for them here.

It’s their job to join communities they may like and then set their main page to “subscribed”. They don’t have to keep it set in “ALL” if they don’t want to see content from all the servers their server federates with/isn’t defederated from.

Lemmy and kbin may be discussion platforms/link aggregators, but they aren’t reddit.

Ulrichs also came up with the concepts of disjunctive bisexuality and conjunctive bisexuality, which are the oldest recorded instances of someone talking about what we nowadays would call Split attraction model and variorientation (disjunctive orientation) Vs periorientation (conjunctive orientation).

Yes and no. LGBT and it’s variations are “neutral”, while queer has a strong anti-assimilationist meaning behind. Queer also can easily represent uncommon or complex identities/orientations that aren’t (easily) represented by the acronym

Then, I’ll suggest taking a look at labels like xirl or girlby/engirl, that express all possible intersections between been a girl and been non binary. Maybe they could work for the other part of your gender.

No, I mean it depends on how each nonbinary person see it.

For some people the base gender is the same, or their gender is related/derived from the binary gender they were assigned. These people may not consider themselves trans, but rather cis or any other gender modality.

There’s no “IMO that’s not the gender they were assigned at birth” when many non-binary people do, in fact, feel they still relate to their AGAB or that their gender and their AGAB are the same or similar.

You don’t need to label the other part if you aren’t sure what is it.

But if you really want to, do you think the second part of your gender could be both girl and NB? Something in-between the two? A girl in a non-binary way? An enby in a girl way?

Have you taken a look at labels like nymgirl, juxera, quella, etc that express a nonbinaryness that is also (in) directly related to girlness?
