I’ll generally remove posts without questions if someone reports them, but if they aren’t bothering anyone enough to report it and I don’t notice that they’re in this community, then IMO, they’re not doing much harm.
But if and when the community gets bigger, signal to noise ratio becomes a lot more important when it’s harder to keep up with everything. But we can cross that bridge if and when we get to it IMO
That’s how you can tell it’s a juvenile! The adults have a full black face mask
Government drones aren’t real!
For me, it’s great egrets!
Even when I went to another continent, it felt like they were following me! Everywhere I turned there was another great egret!
Don’t get many of them in Australia! I mean, they definitely exist, but the majority are anything but brown!
This is a screenshot of the activity in this community. It looks ok to me…
My focus is human rights. I’m not sure what yours is, but it’s not that…
Don’t dilute our efforts and make us lose our focus (which is what they want).
One doesn’t lose focus on human rights by focusing on human rights…
The way I see it is the rules exist to improve the experience of the community. They set guidelines to help us achieve that. The rules aren’t the final source of truth though, the quality of the community is.
So, if you see something that breaks the rules and is pulling the community down in doing so, use the report function, and highlight it.
If it’s breaking a rule, but not harming the community, then just let it fly.
I have no interest in enforcing rules for the sake of rules. I see them more as guidelines for fostering a better community, and that’s the lens through which I moderate.
Yay! 4.8 supports my camera! I can finally stop running darktable nightlies
I used Dreaming Spanish, which uses natural comprehension and teaches entirely in Spanish, with no translation. It’s not as fast as some alternatives, but it matches my learning style, and has given me a neutral accent when I speak
Digikam. It supports grouping (or stacking as it’s called in Lightroom) by filename, so you can auto group RAW and JPG. It has hot keys for flagging rejects/approvals during initial inspections and review, so you can just fly through them.
Photoprism is not suitable as part of a post editing workflow. It’s a gallery for displaying and searching your photos after they’ve been sorted and edited.
There are two types of people that use slurs to talk about other folk.
The first group is made up of folk who don’t give a fuck if they’re hurting others.
The second group is made up of folk who don’t realise the slur is a slur or don’t understand why the slur is harmful.
The second group appreciates being informed about the consequences of their words so they can change course.
People in the first group that are pretending they’re in the second group get angry when called out. But they were always the first group.

Blahaj.zone admin here. Let me make this simple and clear. I don’t care what specific word you use, if you are using intellectual disability or neurodivergence as an insult, you’re going to get moderated.
I’m pretty old and I’ve “completed” my transition, and I’m always happy to share my experiences or knowledge if people are interested.
Twinsies :)
But as GarfGirl has mentioned, if you’ve got a matrix account, I co-admin a matrix space that might be of interest. It’s not as convenient as discord, but, it’s decentralised and federated, and not hosted by a corporation driven by profit above everything else. So if that stuff is important to you, you’re welcome to give it a try
I scored the highest tertiary entrance rank in my school without studying a day in my life and had my pick of any university course or career. I went to university, and excelled at exams, but because I had undiagnosed ADHD and had never learned time management, I couldn’t cope with assignments that couldn’t be thrown together at the last minute in my lunch break. I was academically excluded.
So there was that. Basically, my life has continued to look like some variation of that experience since then :P
I started at 41, and I turn 50 next year. You’ve got this :)
