@ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone does a fantastic job of moderating, and it constantly amazes me that she manages to keep her cool (and calms me down when I get riled up too!).
Thanks for being the moderator to my sysadmin, babe. I couldn't do it without you.
Ada, by far, has the most moderation experience and level head of the both of us.
If I was moderating this place it'd be a barren wasteland with salted and scorched earth as far as the eyes can see and a list of rules as long as your arm which keeps getting longer every time you look as I try to keep up with the rules lawyers.
When we first setup Blåhaj Zone with Ada, we discussed exactly this scenario and Ada said that you'll never create a set of rules that are comprehensive enough to defeat those that are intent on being horrible human beings and trying to make a safe space for queer and gender diverse people unsafe. And instead of keeping the space safe you'll spend all your time and effort refining and defending the intricacies of the rules.
Instead of doing that, we want a safe space, so the guiding principle is don't make it unsafe.
Obviously some people need more clarification on what safety means to us, but really if you need more than what we have provided to "get it", then you are the kind of person who would make it unsafe just by being present.
Most decent human beings can grok "be kind and respect each other" as a set square.
While it is true that I do the majority of the work keeping our servers running behind the scenes for you all, it's still a bit rough to say Ada doesn't pull her own weight! 😊
From what I can tell it'll be about another 5 hours. I'm going to have to go to bed and check on it in the morning.
Unfortunately the stock-standard lemmy-ui doesn't like it that pict-rs is migrating to a new version of database and not serving images, so it's stubbornly just not working at all.
Not that I am aware of, and not that it's not possible, but the protocols are quite different, the Lemmy API, the Misskey API (with various dialects for Sharkey, Iceshrimp and Firefish) and the Mastodon API (with Akkoma, Pleroma, etc) are all very different from each other and even making a third party UI that completely understands and implements a single API / dialect is an enormous undertaking.
Yeah, you just need to login again and put in your totp code this time. Kinda annoying that it doesn't provide a field for your totp code on the first page.
While I couldn't care less (it's their body and bodily autonomy is super important to me), I'd be a little hurt if they didn't tell me about it.
In that case I'd be more interested in talking to my partner to try and understand why they felt that they couldn't talk to me about it and needed to keep it a secret.
I'll check it out. See what this alpha API thing is all about.
