  • It’s a bit silly, because this kind of meme can definitely be interpreted as both a bigoted meme and as a sort of “ironic” kinda meme that is quite often posted in LGBT+ circles. It uses a lot of outdated terms like “Transsexual” and “Hermaphrodite”, but then also has the more LGBT+ shitpost stuff like “pet walking on keyboard - Other”. And indeed the absurdity of asking gender everywhere in the first place. I choose to pick the LGBT+ positive interpretation, but idk whether that’s its actual meaning.






  • I’m quite deep into a second Satisfactory playthrough. My first one was quite some updates ago, so I’m really enjoying all the new stuff like ziplines, drones, hoverpacks and many more things. This time I’m playing with friends, and the multiplayer experience is definitely still very early-access.

    Crashes are quite frequent, and we’re having plenty of other glitches like stuff not building (instead the hologram just remains), and other desync issues. We also had to ban blueprint saving since every interaction with saving or organizing them seems to have a high crash probability. Luckily we made a couple of nice ones before the ban that we do seem to be able to use safely.

    Nevertheless it’s great fun though. We’re getting to the endgame and are now doing things that I never got to in my first playthrough (and have also changed afaik) like nuclear power. Being with more people also allows the factory to grow way larger, so its insane to see how large and complicated everything has grown. It’s a beautiful mess of many conveyor belts, tractors, trucks, trains, hypertubes, hypertubes launchers, etc.



  • It’s always difficult. On the one hand it’s not great to de-federate based on political opinion. After all, I’d have no issues with these people posting memes and other content, adding non-political insight in non-political communities, and even discussing politics in political communities. An echo chamber doesn’t really help anyone after all. However, these people seem to actively look down on anyone even slightly more right wing as them, and as shown in the examples they also seem likely to aggressively push their views in places where that would not be appreciated. To me defederation seems like the good call, at least temporarily, to ensure that moderators won’t have their hands full. But it would be nice to see at least attempts to federate with these extremists, just to give them a chance to play nice. It would be better in the grand scheme of the fediverse to keep things as connected as possible and to avoid echo chambers.

    You can’t expect the world to accommodate for everything you struggle with. These memes are doing nothing unreasonable to the average person, people seem to be enjoying them. If you are getting triggered this badly by something so benign then you’re going to have to solve it yourself. If we would block every meme that triggers somebody on the world, I’m afraid there wouldn’t be many left.
