I mean, they wouldn't have to ban TotallyNotJessica or femcel memes if blahaj as a whole is banned, they'd both be caught in the instance ban.

The dev behind the Tesseract (a webapp for Lemmy) has a big list of users, communities and instances that Tesseract uses to filter things out. This list is obfuscated so it's harder to find what's on it and there's no way for someone hosting it to disable the filter. The meme is about the nearly 3,000 users that this list filters.

Same, clearly I need to start posting spicier takes.

'Not attracted to men' is probably what you're trying to say. Lesbians can still have men in their lives that they depend on, just not in a romantic/sexual sense.

So real. Need to start complaining about paywalled articles more.

The part that bothers me isn’t the specific ban on LLM projects, or the specific ban on cryptocurrency projects. It’s that a hub built around “free software” is now telling its users which kinds of software are deemed good and which are not, and that is closer to censorship than it might seem. Once a platform writes into its terms that an entire category “harms its reputation” and can be removed on that basis, the deciding factor stops being whether the code is legal, or functional, or useful, and becomes whether it aligns with a position the platform has taken. […] Every platform I can think of that took this approach became divisive the moment it started enforcing an ideology on its users, whatever that ideology happened to be, and however justified it looked at the time.

As acknowledged, Codeberg already doesn't allow non-free software on it, that is itself pushing an ideology on its users. Extending this stance to other forms of software isn't the big deal the author is making it out to be, software being free doesn't absolve it of other moral implications.

We now even have people like Linus Torvalds making the fairly reasonable argument that an LLM is just a tool, and “clearly a useful one”

Appeal to authority. See this response.

You don't need an LLM to alphabetise lines. In Emacs you can just select a number of lines and run M-x sort-lines and it'll do it for you.

Why is "^Yuri|^WholesomeYuri" in the community name filter? Why are anime lesbians hard blocked, while ani.social is just in the default user filter?

Filtered communities on instances that aren’t blocked: lemmy.ml/c/worldnews

ml is in the instance filter?

I mean it's not like 'closed' AI is an especially great business.

If Moonshot were selling traditional software, adding millions of users would be relatively easy. Instead, every new customer increases the company’s infrastructure bill, capping its growth.

This is just how software service companies work?

It's almost like organisation is what makes minorities harder to oppress, not guns.

Legal campaigners at Good Law Project have launched a legal challenge against broadcast regulator Ofcom, arguing that the public body has failed to take action to stop Murdoch-owned station Talk (formerly TalkTV and TalkRadio) from allegedly “breaking the law with a torrent of misinformation and transphobic hate.”

Ofcom received complaints from Good Law Project and 21,000 of its supporters on 18 July 2025 about 11 programmes broadcast on Talk, complaining about how the programmes, its presenters and guests discussed transgender issues. Talk is broadcast on radio and as video online, after News UK shuttered its loss-making TV operations in 2024.

Ofcom decided not to investigate any of the complaints in September. In October 2025, GLP wrote to Ofcom raising a number of questions about Ofcom’s response to their complaints. GLP also highlighted potential concerns about three of the programmes under the Broadcasting Code.

The Canvas patch is almost done. Except that we need more testing, specifically for its MS Windows port. (Though testers on other operating systems like GNU/Linux and MacOS are also welcome.)

Since we don't have any computers running MS Windows, we are not sure if the code is actually correct.
