Something fell over in our server, so Kaity is spinning up a new server and rebuilding lemmy on it

You can’t opt out of capitalism. You can opt out of not funding Rowling

We bypass the issue. We use DJI mini mics, which allow you to connect multiple mics to a single base receiver, and that receiver appears as a stereo sound source.

If making excuses for virulent transphobes is the best of lemmy in your mind, I’m concerned about what would qualify as the worst…

like madlad, woosh, etc

I haven’t used Reddit for years, and I have no idea about those terms. If they’re a Reddit thing, I don’t recognise them.

Lemmy is also less tolerant of debate bros.

So yeah, they’re different

As I said, if not voluntarily giving money to or making excuses for someone who will use that money to hurt people is too much to ask of someone, then their context and intent is quite clear.

Including yours.

“I grew up with Harry Potter and loved it and I’m interested to see the new [whatever]” is not equivalent to promoting transphobia.

It is equivalent, because in this case, it is literally promoting transphobia. One of the worlds leading transphobes will directly benefit from the profits this show makes, and will directly turn those profits against dismantling the rights of trans folk.

This isn’t an analogy, it’s not dramatic license, or over exaggeration.

You cannot make a black and white determination like that without context and intent.

If you know she will hurt trans people with the money she makes, and you do things that continue to make her money (which includes just advocating for continued consumption of her work), it is black and white, and the context and intent are quite visible.

By itself, it doesn’t mean someone is transphobic. But it does mean that at the very least, personal nostalgia is more important to that person than the harm their actions cause. And that is plenty of intent and context.

Fuck yeah! No one can ever take this away from you!

I don’t know, maybe they have a specific agreement with Patreon or something. But in general, that’s how Patreon like services work with YouTube

It’s how Youtube does it…

One of us, one of us!

It’s possible to post unlisted videos that are only visible to folk with the URL.

Its good for folk who want to give their subscribers early access

That was my very point :)

I use a Galaxy fold, and honestly, you can take my folding phone from my cold dead hands, because there is no other way I’m giving them up.

It feels like somewhere in the Glasshouse Mountains, looking towards the Sunshine Coast, but I can’t pin down where.

Whipper Snipper here in Aus

parkrun on Saturday morning, though it will probably be the coldest one of the year, so that’ll be fun!

Other than that, no solid plans. Will see where it takes me

It’s not one or the other though. Peertube with patreon can exist alongside YouTube

Museum quality! A prime example of early internet meme culture meeting classical art. Would fetch top upvotes in any respectable meme antiquities auction!

What you’re describing is very common. Once we have finally accepted ourselves, the dysphoria, which was often an all pervasive background noise becomes sharper and more focused. Not necessarily stronger, but the focus changes, because now, we know what is going on, and we know what we want, and not having it, makes things stand out more.

The silver lining though is that now, you have answers, and when the opportunities present themselves, you know what you can start doing to help. When it’s background, directionless dysphoria, it’s not as sharp, but it’s also not something you can do much about. Now, you can do something about it. It might not be quick or easy, but you have a path forward!
