Hey, I just wanted to make a post because I noticed the !lesbians@lemmy.blahaj.zone community now has no moderators at all. The one mod was instance banned. I think it would be good if we could have some admin intervention to install a new head moderator. I'm not personally feeling able to put my paw up for that, so if any other blahaj user is up for taking it on please comment here :)

IDK about other people but it makes me feel sick to the stomach being federated with such content. I don't really have any problems with Lemm.ee as a whole but I feel like having an uncritical Nazi salute on the network goes against everything Blahaj stands for.

Their new domain is chapo.chat. We should probably block it now so they don't get a chance to use it to bypass defederation of their server by other instances.

After all they were defederated for good reason.

!GenderAbolition@lemmy.blahaj.zone which was largely created as a backup of the subreddit by the same name is current name is looking for moderators.

In case anyone isn't familiar with what gender abolition is, here's a brief overview. Gender Abolition is the belief that gender roles and gender stereotypes are harmful to people's freedom of expression and must be eliminated to create a more free and accepting society. Gender abolition is sometimes referred to as post-genderism or gender anarchy. More info in the community sidebar.

If anyone would like to help moderate please leave a comment here. Currently we are prioritizing people with accounts on lemmy.blahaj.zone but we will accept moderators from other instances as well.

Hi all,

I’m a Reddit refugee and I’m wondering if we could consider mirroring subs like r/Transgender_Surgeries, r/TransDIY and r/estrogel here (or if not maybe another instance)

If you’re not aware Reddit has made it clear they will probably deploy tools to shut these subreddits down in the nearish future. This has lead us to start looking elsewhere and personally I’m in favour of getting people into the fediverse.

It seems obvious to me the main issue we have with getting people onto the fediverse is momentum. In light of that do you think that we could mirror some of the content from those subs here? Maybe also if we have a bot like this one to seed the content https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/21662525

I for one would be happy to start encouraging people to move here by regularly posting my responses to people’s questions on here with info I know on Lemmy and then linking to my response in the subreddit so they take a peek.

I’ve been researching surgeries for well over half a decade by now and have some surgeries myself so I think people will come if people like me start putting valuable content here.

My issue here is I’m new to the fediverse and probably not the best to take something like this up. I also am working on learning how to set up my own server for the first time and ultimately help others in my network around the world do the same so idk if I’m the best to lead that type of initiative.

It does seem we need someone though and the leader of the Transgender_Surgeries subreddit is too burned out to migrate it (understandably so)

I'm posting because originally when I was looking to create a Lemmy account I came across Hexbear. I read the code of conduct and TOS and to me it seemed like a great fit for me. However, after creating an account there, it seems pretty defederated.

Anyway I was curious on the happenings over there, because they have some cute custom emojis over there... but if there's a reason they're so defederated, I might just pretend i never made an account there

EDIT: omg I just found out this instance has cute blob emojis too :3

Sorry for the random question.

These are not mine, obviously, plus, I’m a lemmy.ca user (so I apologize for posting here) but I did come across

! meliliolinemeli@lemmy.blahaj.zone and !tonsi@lemmy.blahaj.zone which are both Blahaj Lemmy groups for people who speak Toki Pona.

!bobsburgers@lemmy.world

Is the TV show or community transphobic or something?

Thanks to our amazing @supakaity, we are now running lemmy 0.19.8!

We now also have a Tesseract front end that you can use to access blahaj lemmy at https://tes.lemmy.blahaj.zone/. Just login with your regular lemmy login

Just for admin info, latest version is 0.8.16 :)

We created TransSpecies for all of you that don't see yoursel{f/ves} as human and would like to or are doing your best to transition to something that isn't that whether that's internally, socially, with technology or surgery (though it should be noted we don't gatekeep, exploring your identity is a-okay with us and there's no one way to be TransSpecies).

We will not be answering any questions or putting up with any remarks about us not existing or being mentally ill etc, such comments will just be reported and you will be banned from that community.

For all the rest of you, hope to see you there!

<3

!transspecies@lemmy.blahaj.zone

If there's any trans poc here, come hang out! It's !transpoc@lemmy.blahaj.zone / lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/transpoc

It was suggested that I post this idea to the community proper. So I'm just copying and pasting the comment that I made, edited to make it clear which post I'm referencing (which is the next most recent post here anyway). I hope I got the link right in order to work with all of this federation mumbo jumbo.

I’m too new to be making these kinds of suggestions and I’m far from the moderator type myself but multiple times throughout this week, I’ve been thinking that it would be pretty cool if there was an AskBlåhaj. Or even just general Ask Lemmy based here, that could be asking for unwanted attention from shitty people on other instances though.

Not even 24 hours after seeing this post, I’ve seen someone else getting the snark and a non answer for a simple question. And also a Blåhaj user.

As much of a public bathroom as it could be, AskReddit was pretty fun for ‘silly’ questions and general chatting. And a nice place for new users to hang around and gain karma and confidence. But with the gatekeeper neckbeardy types around, maybe what it needs on Lemmy is to be in an instance with rules that promote friendliness and good vibes.

Just an idea to throw out there anyway.

TL;DR - Lemmy's userbase compare to Reddit just feel more angry and it so offputting when asking a question and getting an answer that sound like their pissed off. Feels oddly worse than Reddit.

Honestly, I want to like Lemmy as I want to try not use Reddit as much. The thing that is holding me back is I hate the users on Lemmy which their often passive aggressive and really snarky. I know Reddit does have those people but I always seen more them on Lemmy where I barely used it as much.

I asked on AskLemmy community if there's any Gen-Z community around, ideally just talking about nostalgia and stuff like that. Nothing malicious at all. Then got a angry reply saying "Fuck Gen-what, just join community and post!" and telling me about generation are there to "divide" people. Apparently, me asking community which mainly be me talking about cartoon and games I grow up with is evil.

If the tone was at least "This may not matter as much and you find it better picking any community that in your best interest" then I'm be alright, it the way they seem pissed at me for even asking it like I'm an idiot which gets to me. When I told that person to calm down and stop being snarky, I got reply from other users saying they wasn't.

Might stick to Reddit for now. I know it not great but it in my experince isn't as easily pissed off and is actually bareable to scroll for awhile. I hate talking bad about Lemmy as I really want to like it but I just hate the userbase so much that it feels pointless to even properly use it as much.

Mainly about blusky.

I've noticed some people I follow on Facebook/twitter/youtube/tiktok migrating to bsky.social and my understanding was that misskey/sharkey is supposed to be able to federated with bsky and Mastodon, but several bsky accounts I've not been able to find from blåhaj sharkey. I'm wondering if it's been defederated or maybe they don't federate as well as I thought? Any assistance or advice is much appreciated!

so that i can finally get rid of meta :3

I've been waiting until after Christmas day to make this post, but some of our communities recently have had a lot of noise and upset over someone that uses neopronouns that most people are unfamiliar with.

So I want to make this clear. A persons pronouns are to be respected. This is true when the user is using neopronouns that you're unfamiliar with. It's true even if you think someone is trolling. Pronouns are not rewards for good behaviour. They aren't only to be respected when you like the person you're interacting with, or if their pronouns "make sense" to you. Trolls, spammers, twitter users, it doesn't matter who they are, your options are to respect their pronouns, or to not engage with them.

I really want to re-iterate the importance of this. Gender diverse folk are undermined, invalidated and questioned at every step of our lives. As a community, we need to be working to undo that, not creating more of it, and that means there is no space for treating pronouns (including neopronouns) as a reward for good behaviour.

This isn't a free reign for trolls and spammers. The rules still apply. Trolling, spamming, etc will continue to be dealt with, but it's not an excuse to act as if respecting someones pronouns is optional.

Every webp I've tried causes this error, but then works if I convert to png.

1. Download random webp from front page

Hi all! We've created a community here on blåhaj lemmy for anyone that needs help or advice with HRT.

Everyone is welcome so long as you stay mostly on topic! Bring your hormones, your friends, and your blåhajs!

The community is friendly to DIY and is NSFW by default.

• https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/diyhrt
• !diyhrt@lemmy.blahaj.zone

Whenever I try I just get an error and am unable to delete the picture.

Lemmy's 0.19.6 introduces some bug fixes but it also introduced a nasty bug which breaks image rendering in many posts See here and since this instance hosts a lot of image based content it would probably be a good idea for us to hold off on upgrading until this is fixed. I do not know yet if this bug will apply retroactively, as in, if all posts made or affected by this will be fixed once a fix rolls out or if they'll be screwed up forever or until editing or re-posting.

I encourage people in instances which have not updated yet to cross-post this to their instance's meta community or ping their instance admins to let them know.
