I don’t want to discuss the incident in detail because it was very traumatic, but long story short, I had a near-drowning incident when I was 12 (technically not a drowning because I survived). I was technically dead for several minutes.

I saw nothing. total blank. I remember flashes of struggling to get to the side of the pool one moment, and flashes of waking up in an ambulance the next. then it cuts out again, and then I woke up in a hospital room with tubes in all my holes (plus some tubes in new holes) and surrounded by my mom and brothers.

I feel bad for the employees who have to clean that mess.

especially because 1) it will be trashed again in 30 minutes, and 2) they get paid crap

so… how do you like openSuSE after 3 years of fedora?

oops!

IIRC, lemmy.world is hosted in the US, making them liable under US laws.

edit: IR incorrectly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

by getting it surgically altered. I could never show the old face ever again.

also, moving and changing my name.

yikes

Plus the Founders caused their own bout of chaos

well, technically, FC assimilated Earth happened in an alternate timeline, but you make a good point about the Domino War and wanting to avoid that. So, yeah, I’d want to arrive after that ended.

oh, definitely TNG-era Star Trek.

Socialist Space Utopia where I can be or do whatever I like anywhere I like, free of need and want? Sounds awesome!

What would I do? Explore the endless opportunities!

where I live + self-identifier

because of course they are

the alt-right movement is like an abusive relationship, made up of a bunch of very insecure people constantly seeking approval from an abuser who doles it out with an equal amount of degradation, keeping them confused and isolated enough that they have no choice but to keep coming back because - after having driven everyone else away with their hateful rhetoric - the abusive alt-right is now their only source of “community” at all.

it’s a cult.

Birdsite —> Ex-Birdsite for me

you are technically correct. the best kind of correct!

it’s the national domain of the country Mali

it must be a lemmy.wold thing. each instance does things a little bit differently, but, hey, at least you found a shortcut with the app!

if you click this:

you get this:

this is from the community I moderate on lemmy.ml. maybe it’s different for communities on lemmy.world?

I just looked at the mod log— ew… I can see what you’re dealing with there. I suggest you just permaban them, as I doubt they’re going to change their behavior. also, keep an eye out for similar comments/commenting styles that might be indicative of alts (alt accounts).

btw, as mod, you can just ban a user right from their comments— you don’t need to report them yourself!

also, for more advice/help, you can consult the Lemmy Moderation Support room on the Lemmy Space on Matrix (link in the sidebar!)

That’s actually a really good question. I can’t answer for certain, but, sine moderation on lemmy isn’t particularly sophisticated yet, I think it’s safe to assume that you’re not going to be able to see them, even as mod, if you have them blocked personally.

if that’s the case (most likely), your most likely tow choices are to either permaban them from your community or to live with leaving the user un-blocked for moderation purposes.

one third option would be to mod your community with an alt account or appoint some other user to help out…

It’s been a while since I’ve used Ubuntu. What happened?
