It’s not so far from my island. If I come for a visit someday I’ll let ya know we can get lunch or married or something.

Haha, convincing or persistent? I guess he can be both :p

Hi, just to let you know we don’t allow x.com links, but you can swap it to a https://xcancel.com/ or https://archive.is/ version of the link, or a screenshot instead.

Thanks.

Ok, just wanted to let you know it is an option when interacting with our users, even if you are not a db0 user.

I suggest you use the disengage rule.

Lol church money flowing to the poor and needy? How would the poor get into heaven without a life of suffering? (Mother Theresa’s view on charity, not mine).

It depends which instance you are on. Some instances are full of mods that censor everything that doesn’t fit their ideology. Other instances are more relaxed with their moderation approaches. It definitely pays to shop around a bit before you settle on an instance that is a good fit for you.

On dbzero we have a governance community and instance users have the right to vote out mods/admins if they are unpopular. But most instances are run in a much more top-down BDFL (benevolent dictator for life) fashion.

I’m a gender abolitionist philosophically, so I get what you are saying and I would also prefer for everyone to agree to adopt using gender neutral language and be done with it. But we should still respect the preferred pronouns of others, because it isn’t up to you or me to force that choice on everyone else. It’s not much different from a Republican (for example) refusing to use she/her towards a trans woman. For some folks their pronouns are super important to them, so imo it’s just disrespectful not to use them when they are stated.

Yes, if you are aware of someone’s preferred pronouns and choose to ignore them.

You are describing intentional misgendering. That’s against our instance rules, so make sure you use preferred pronouns for folks who display them.

Seems to be up for me now too.

Dbzer0 is stable, relaxed with the rules, and perfect for a topic like this.

Haha, perfectly put in the original post too.

i figured the punchline would come eventually

I’ve used limesurvey a few times before and I think it’s definitely a viable option as it has an option to disable ip tracking along with an anonymous mode.

Tbh we have some concerns about the privacy implications of using Google forms for data collection. Does it log IP addresses of respondents?

The repressive elements of government upholding class relations die out in favor of the administration of things.

When did a communist government ever stop being repressive? It’s nice in theory n’ all.

Oh damn. Autocomplete + tiredness for the win I guess :p

I think it’s exactly what @HerdingSnails@lemmings.world said. I assumed it was some kind of dodgy spam at first until I checked your post history. It’s definitely off-putting for users linking from a NSFW tagged post straight to another website with an NSFW pop-up, and a login prompt. Very few people would go to the bother of creating an account just to see unknown content, so I’d guess that’s the main problem with it.

Thanks for the link!
