I know tesseract (an alternative front end) does. And I know that I’ve used mobile apps with that functionality before, but honestly, I don’t remember which ones had the feature and which ones didn’t, because I never used the feature, and these days, I even use tesseract on my phone.
There are 3rd party apps and alternative Web front ends with that ability
I haven't banned a single person over 196 changes. I don't moderate 196 and I haven't banned anyone from 196 (except as a side effect of banning them from the whole instance).
I don't know what you think happened, but community or instance banning folk for community specific events is not something I do.
You're not going to end the oligarchy on a VC funded social media platform.
Gotosocial has a setting in development that is designed to baffle bots that don't respect robots.txt. FediDB didn't know about that feature and thought gotosocial was trying to inflate their stats.
In the arguments that went back and forth between the devs of the apps involved, it turns out that FediDB was ignoring robots.txt. ie, it was badly behaved
Big uptick for us at bhzon recently, but a degree of magnitude less than this
Ok, this isn't really blahaj related and I think it has run its course.
You’re free to argue for the normalising of slurs people level against you. I won’t stand in your way. But again, you don’t get to decide that slurs used against other people should be normalised, when the impact of those slurs isn’t felt by you.
Unless you’re trans, that isn’t your call to make. You don’t get to decide that it’s ok for people other than yourself to be exposed to slurs. Stay in your own lane.
The short version is, that I’m not keen on a bot that just replicates content from reddit (the fediverse has a long history with those, and lots of people have lots of very strong opinions, which overshadow the problem the bot is ostensibly trying to solve).
However, any and all of those groups are welcome here officially or unofficially. It may involve manually posting and pinning a lot of the content and resources from the original subs, but as long as that is done with consent, we’re happy for it to be here.
Honestly, if you want them here, and you have the support of the existing reddit mods, I would suggest creating the groups here and getting them going. You can always add other moderators, and even hand the groups over to someone else if you want to step away.
