Ada

And smart clients/UIs like tesseract realise that the link is to a remote lemmy instance, and then give you the option of viewing it remotely or from your own instances perspective

On the horizon? They crossed that horizon a long time ago. It’s just going to accelerate now

Any place with anonymous/ephermal account and posts as the default is going to attract the worst people in the world…

I just want to clarify. The only people getting banned for remote comments are people who knowingly and explicitly gatekeep other folks identity in response to this topic coming up. They are banned so that they don’t start appearing in blahaj communities with the very people they’re invalidating.

To me, there’s no difference. If someone’s response to this topic coming up is to double down on gatekeeping, it doesn’t make them any less harmful just because they did it outside of a blåhaj community.

The only people who were banned were gatekeeping other folks identities. If you find an example of someone that was banned who didn’t do that, I will unban them.

If you find that inconsistent or confusing, I’m not sure what to tell you…

So what about all the people who were banned from blahaj back in december for dissent?

No one was banned for dissent. People were banned for gatekeeping, misgendering and repeatedly and/or deliberately misgendering folk.

Most people who were banned for “Gatekeeping” then and since then were really just banned because the admins didn’t like them despite them dispite not breaking rules.

The rule is don’t misgender and gatekeep other folks and block or ignore them if you can’t deal with their identity or pronouns. The modlog is right there. If you can find a single instance of someone getting banned without breaking that or another rule, I want to know about it

Nope, sorry, it’s still broken. I saw the community and assumed it was working, but I can’t subscribe to it either. I’ll see what we can find

You should be able to now. It’s just that no one on this instance had subscribed to it yet, so the instance didn’t know the community existed. All sorted now though!
