Even to save the persons life (as was portrayed in the episode)?

This. The way I see it, if an admin can't (or won't) moderate their users, the problem can only get worse.

Lemmy is just software that anyone can use. Each Lemmy instance with open sign ups has their own rules. But even so- there would be no way of knowing which Lemmy users are equivalent to any reddit user without the user itself making it known.

Yep. IMO, the experience of using social media was pretty good (far from perfect but pretty good) going into 2014, but 2014 set in motion what became 2015. When gamergate-style ""debate"" tactics took over well, everything.

EDIT: And more importantly those tactics weren't banned by most subreddits

I did the same. Thank goodness for personal block lists.

Oh yes, I believe it is the responsibility of instance admins, as I believe it is the responsibility of the Reddit admins too. And if Steve Huffman wants Reddit to be a pro gamergate right wing website he absolutely has that right. What I wanted to highlight is that Reddit has a long history of enforcing their policies selectively in ways that just-so-happen to allow right wing propagandists free access to everyone else's communities.

The_Donald encouraging violence against women? "We allow all ideas no matter how unpopular".

The creator of KotakuInAction removes posts encouraging violence against women? That crosses a line!

If someone creates a community about topic A and removes posts about topic B, that is not "subverting".

I do know the addons (not the same as integrations) need the full OS yes. I have it on a Pi but you could do a virtual machine for HAOS (there is an official virtual machine image on their website, also make sure to pass through your matter/zigbee/etc USB adapter).

You could also just run the container Home Assistant version, and run any "addons" as other docker containers within CasaOS or Yuno host, and point the integrations at those. I imagine it would take a little bit of extra configuration but shouldn't be too hard.

I honestly get it to some degree. ~50% of threadiverse users are people banned from most of reddit and are the most hopelessly miserable and arrogant assholes to be around. On top of that, the main content feeds are overwhelmed with low effort memes that give the whole Threadiverse dead-internet vibes. Until the larger instances actually take steps to make themselves welcoming while creating space for real discussions I wouldn't blame anyone checking out lemmy.world (or whatever) and just noping right back out like the grandpa Simpson meme.

Reddit (the company) deciding what communities can be about is actually not new and I wish it were widely known. The first big example I know of goes back to 2018 when the admins overrode a subreddit creator to force their community to be for (pro) gamergate content.

Honestly this is the type of content I would prefer to hear a Trekkie's perspective on.

Sorry just seeing this, looks like there is a Home Assistant addon yes. Yunohost is very similar but seems to be more popular, so I'd say try both and see what you like.

Just seeing this post, I didn't know this was a thing that could happen, but I wouldn't mind seeing some Pre-S1 TOS. I don't think Season 1 was ever canonically the first year of the five year mission.

You can throw darts at her photograph on your own wall.

Wait what? lol I like Burhnam. I was arguing with the guy who was making shit up to hate on her!

Was it the neighborhoods?

Do you have any evidence to support your claim? I looked it up and I didn't see anything about "redemption" necessitating the fawning over of the redemptee by others, so until someone claims otherwise I'm going to believe Mr. Webster.

I'm so confused by this comment. Season three is literally (literally) about "a Federation that keeps adapting, improving, and ultimately continuing as a positive force moving forward through the dedicated collaboration of an infinitely-diverse collaboration of peoples" even in the face of overwhelming odds to the contrary.

Well said, Enterprise is my least favorite... until Season 4 which I consider to be some of my favorite Star Trek.

But same goes for Discovery! I appreciated what they were trying to do but it didn't click with me. And then seasons 4 and 5 I consider to be some of Trek's best.

Thank you for the sanity. I get so tired hearing Burhnam being held to such an obvious double standard. I wonder why? What is different about the character?
