    There is, by forking lemmy and removing it. We already do that anyway, so we’ll look in to seeing what we can do.

    In the mean time, we offer a bunch of other frontends aside from the default lemmy UI, and they will all bypass this problem







  • The best help you can give someone in distress is hearing them, whilst you redirect them to a place that can help with empathy and compassion.

    Any form of automated message comes across as the exact opposite of empathy and compassion.

    In addition, speaking as the admin of a trans and queer community, I don’t have any special tools or abilities to help people. Sending the report to me doesn’t let me help them, because they’re almost certainly not in my country, and I don’t have any special access that enables me to contact them or reach out to them. The tool I do have, is the instance itself that we host, that allows people to connect with their community and their peers, that allows them to struggle, and that shuts down anyone who would try and add to the hurt of someone on the edge.

    Which is to say, I don’t think a reddit style feature has a place here. It will let people think they’re helping, without actually doing so, as well as providing a new vector for abuse (though that would be less of an issue than on reddit). In theory, an automated list of resources that could be called on could be useful, but again, if someone is struggling, they need to feel heard, and automated replies can come across as dispassionate and uncaring.


  • She makes money from the popularity of her IP, whether or not she makes money from any individual title. The success of that game makes her money, because it tells studios that it is profitable to make Potter content, and that will make her money.

    So no, do not purchase her stuff, because she will explicitly use her profits from her IP to actively target and hurt trans folk.

    This isn’t hypothetical. It’s not multiple steps removed. It’s not “there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism”. This is someone who is explicitly using her money to hurt vulnerable people, so you do not give her more money or encourage others to.

    Ever.







  • If you’ve got two slots and a modern motherboard, you can do the same thing but keep both m.2 devices installed. If you really want to be sure, take out the windows device, install Linux on the second, and then put the windows device back in. You’ll be able to swap back to windows if needed that way without swapping things out
