leem

I hope they make an example out of Twitter too. Especially since other companies (ahem) are looking to Musk for ideas on how to run themselves.

a pause for paws

As Lemmy matures, I bet we'll get a lot more granular controls of nsfw content that shows up in your feeds. In my case, I'd like these controls:

• hot/top/new feeds: only want to see nsfw from my instance, maybe a couple of others. Ideally there'd be tag separation between porn and general nsfw, but having too granular of tags can quickly get out of hand.
• viewing community pages: I'd want to see everything posted, nsfw or not, if I navigate to a community itself.

I've just been blocking the communities I don't want to see as they pop up on the main feed, which has been working alright.

Thanks ♥️ it lasts days when it happens unfortunately, but it's only really bad in the mornings

I've been cheating on my restrictive diet and have lots of nausea today to show for it x.x

My upbringing was pretty conservative and sex negative. That resulted in me resenting and repressing my being queer. Undoing the damage from that has been a long process, but I'm getting there thanks to the friends I've made here who've helped me become more self-accepting.

Section 230 (often called the 26 words that created the internet) reads:

No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.

Wikipedia also says:

Section 230(c)(2) further provides "Good Samaritan" protection from civil liability for operators of interactive computer services in the good faith removal or moderation of third-party material they deem "obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected."

I'm also not a lawyer so I have no clue what the ramifications for this are, but I'm guessing that Reddit isn't liable for stuff people upload as long as the illegal stuff gets removed.

If Reddit undeletes a post, could they be treated as the publisher? At the very least it sounds not very good-samaritan-y of them to do that, so maybe they wouldn't be protected in that case.

BTW, the supreme court heard a few cases centered around section 230 a few months ago! And Biden called for it to be reformed! So depending on how that goes, the internet could get shaken up soon. We're in some interesting times.

LOL thanks for checking that out. i was on mobile and didn't want to figure out how to read the contents.

No problem. It's probably jerboa doing that lol. It's not the best at handling links yet.

That makes sense, thanks

It's funny - I thought the pricing changes had to do with following Twitter's lead, but I had no idea he would be that down with Musk. If I were an employee at Reddit now, I'd take this as a serious red flag and start looking.

I'm not sure what you mean here. the_donald was shut down in June 2020 according to wikipedia. And the insurrection happened 6 months later, Jan 2021.
