That’s because from a mastodon perspective, that’s what they are!

They’re basically the same thing as gup.pe groups to them

You run it and then reboot. If that doesn’t fix it, then it didn’t fix it :\

Try enable-linger. As I understand it, the issue is related to the way Sway handles Wayland sockets, and enable-linger kicks things off before Sway is involved.

Can you compare groups output under both sessions?

Specifically, if you don’t show membership of sudo in your Sway session, try this

loginctl enable-linger lazarus

She’s transphobic, misogynistic and appealing to reverse racism. She’s just a bigot

Hey, I’m not a grandma yet!

You are the only moderator of both communities you moderate, so it sounds like a display bug

If you have a local copy of the photos, you can use DigiKam, which has a really strong facial recognition capability

It can also write the face data in to the keywords and EXIF data, so the will be searchable by tags in other apps.

did imply that feddit.uk admins were slow to react and did not see this as priority.

That’s an accurate summary of my claims. No part of that suggests transphobia however.

who described your statement as mischaracterization.

Likely because said admin knew they were talking about it as a team and believed they were addressing my questions. They just neglected to tell me that part, and just stopped responding to me.

You are absolutely welcome to maintain an account on another instance and here if you want to have the option of having those discussions. And I don’t mean that in a “Well, there’s the door” way. What I’m trying to say is that if you don’t want to have the types of conversations you’re talking about, it’s currently very hard to find spaces that make that possible. That’s why lbz exists in the form it does. However, I completely understand that some people do want that opportunity. And if that’s you, you’re welcome to maintain multiple accounts. You’ll always have a space here, but you can also use instances that give you access to less protective spaces.

but Blåhaj can’t demand that their rules be enforced in other instances.

Didn’t ask them to, nor have I asked any other instances to defederate from feddit.uk. What I asked for is clarification of how they implement their own rules, in order for me to decide whether or not LBZ stays federated with them.

The truth is, transphobia is now legal in the UK. UK instance admins are in a hard spot, because removing transphobia that is institutionally protected in their own country is now a lot more complex.

However, it’s not more complex for blahaj zone. We don’t allow transphobia. End of story. And if the difficult situation feddit.uk finds themselves in means they will allow transphobia that aligns with the UKs legislation, I’m not going to tell them they should do otherwise. I would hope they do otherwise, but ultimately, it’s their call. However, if the call they make is to allow legal transphobia, we will remain defederated to minimise the transphobia that reaches the blahaj zone community.

And you won’t see me telling any other admins they have to make the same choice we do.

The power of federation is that people have the choice. If people, trans or not, are happy to wade in to debate with transphobes, there are options for them to do that. Or, there are instances like blahaj zone, where they don’t have to play whack a mole with every new transphobe that appears.

To be clear, at the time of defederation, they had not answered my question.

In response to my initial general question, I was told their preference is to let push back come via comments and votes.

I then provided links to posts in which someone explicitly stated trans women aren’t women alongside several common transphobic dog whistles. I pointed out that one of the posts has more upvotes than downvotes, suggesting that social pushback isn’t working, and asked for clarification on whether or not posts like that would be removed.

At this point, I got radio silence. I was not advised the admin team was discussing it, the posts were not removed and the admin who I was talking to was active elsewhere. After waiting nearly two days for a reply despite having mentioned this was serious enough to defederate over on two separate occasions, I made the assumption I wasn’t going to get a reply, and defederated.

I’m happy to write that off as miscommunication though, given that they were talking as a team. If they ultimately decide that posts explicitly stating that trans women are not women will be removed, we will refederate

If you’re concerned about implications, you need to be careful of your own, because you’re implying that I think the feddit.uk admins are transphobic, when I think no such thing. They actively pushed back against transphobia in their comments, and not in a half hearted manner. They are quite clearly not transphobic.

However, leaving transphobia visible, even whilst pushing back against it is against their own instance rules, and allows transphobes to know they can safely post more transphobia in the future, as long as they keep it civil. And that last part is the bit that initiated defederation.

The right being lost isn’t the right to play sports. It’s the right to equality.

And it’s great that your for something that isn’t going to happen in our lifetimes. But in the mean time, trans people have to navigate the situation we do have.

at what point did i suggest rolling back rights for anyone?

When you said we should accept our removal from sports, and that we should be open to exclusion from the ability to use bathrooms in public.

As I said though, this conversation is an example of why you don’t see the behaviour you’re asking for. It’s because the responses always look like yours.

It’s using quad bayer. Which basically means it’s a 25MP sensor that can act as a faux 100MP sensor. When it does that, you get more detail, but more noise. Which means it will have really good low light performance for a drone at 25MP, and if you give up the noise reduction, you’ll get more definition out of it than you would from a regular 25MP sensor. But the 100MP sensor mode won’t come close to the clarity you’d get from a genuine 100MP mirrorless camera sensor

Which is to say, it will be revolutionary for drone photographers, but not that impressive if you’re comparing it to dedicated photography gear

not everyone is able to follow the same news sources and some people who only get infomation on social media are subject to waves of propaganda news articles.

I very much understand that. However, this conversation is a classic example of the fact that even being told those statistics and having the context made clear, doesn’t actually change anything.

You may not have a desire to engage with those people and thats totally understandable, but there should be some people who are allies, who are able to engage in those types of conversations

There are. Lots of them! It’s why I am defensive with you, because despite the existence of folk like that, you don’t see them, and instead categorise trans people as largely being “all or nothing”. You are part of the group you were just talking about. The group that isn’t exposed to the right content, and instead, only knows what they see in an actively transphobic media and social media environment.

And as I said earlier, you won’t shift your opinion, you won’t ease off and stop fighting me, to become one of those people that helps trans folk. Instead, you’ll fight me, for daring to take issue with your framing of the situation, whilst blaming me for it at the same time.

Right now we are literally having everyone’s rights rolled back because thats how fascists like Trump act when you stand up to them

That’s our common ground right there. Yet instead of talking about that, you’re suggesting that actually, giving in and being ok with some of those rollbacks might be ok, as long as its trans people!

If you want allyship against facism, focus on the facism, rather than demanding that your allies capitulate to it

there is no suggestion being made here

Yes there is. I asked you what you think compromise looks like in real world terms

You replied with this

So a specific compromise would be when someone says that they accept transwomen as people deserving of respect and dignity, but i dont think they should be allowed to compete in professional sports as women, you dont call them a bigot or refuse to engage with them. Its saying "could you think of a way to esure womens safety that doesnt assume all trans people are sexual predators? " when they say women should be able to feel safe in locker rooms.

That is quite explicitly a suggestion. Or rather, two suggestions.

In this suggestion, you use the word “women” as if it doesn’t apply to trans women. ie, you say “women’s safety” when you clearly means cis women’s safety. Dangerous, because it normalises the attack on trans women that they aren’t women. And dangerous because it implies that trans women are a risk to cis women, when in fact, trans women are more at risk of sexual assault and violence than cis women are! There is danger here, but it’s not coming from the trans women, and framing it as if it is, and as if that is something that should be compromised on is dangerous to trans people.

There is no compromise, when that compromise involves having our safety ignored, and our rights rolled back. That’s not compromise.

That’s because your client is caching it.
