This account is being kept for the posterity, but it won't see further activity past February.
If you want to contact me, I'm at /u/lvxferre@mander.xyz
The settlement is right at the border of what would be controlled by the Inca government, two millenniums later. It shows that there's some decent access to the region from the west than you'd be led to believe, with the Andes in the way.
As such, if they find other cities further east, I'm predicting that, culturally speaking, they'll resemble nothing this one; even if they happen to be roughly the same size.
People ate maize and sweet potato, and probably drank "chicha", a type of sweet beer.
"If you don't have chicha, any small thing will do." (reference to a certain song)
Serious now. Potentially yucca too - it grows right next door, and if they got maize from North America then they likely traded for crops.
Stating obvious shit like it was some hidden piece of wisdom? Inability to handle subtleties like "lying" vs. "saying an incorrect statement"? Voting system? People repeating the same shit over and over, without reading the others' comments?
EDIT: I'm highlighting that this YT comment section shows a lot of things to hate in Reddit. In some aspects they're behaving exactly like redditors; in some they're actually doing it better, even if YT is a cesspool of idiocy.
Yeah, but the admins, as the thread has shown, are mainly reining in violations of sitewide policy. Instance rules are mainly the job of mods.
So the admins are reining in violations of lemmy.ml-wide policy... while lemmy.ml rules are mainly the job of the mods??? Congratulations, that's the dumbest thing that I've read today.
Couple the above with the backpedalling (from "This is what mods are for." to "Instance rules are mainly the job of mods."; emphasis on "mainly") - a sleight of hand, while lying that I was the one using a sleight of hand - and I'm led to the conclusion that you have nothing meaningful to add to this discussion, and can be safely ignored as dead weight and noise.
Unlike the above, does anyone here have any decent counter-argument against "migrating this comm to that other instance would be sensible"?
Phylogenetic results do not support Picrodontidae within Euarchonta and instead support Picrodontidae as the sister taxon to the apatemyid L. kayi [Labidolemur kayi]
So the discovery kicks them to an extinct order, Apatotheria. This means that they'd be further from us primates than treeshrews and colugos are.
I think that it's worth trying #1 because I genuinely think that Arthur Besse is simply being overprotective, and using a "better safe than sorry" approach, and the reason why he might believe that [the anime instance] has CSAM is Dessalines' github claim. In the meantime, Dessalines and Nutomic already discussed this, and even decided to re-allow the instance in the Join Lemmy page.
As such, I don't see stupidity or maliciousness from their part; just a broken telephone game. This means that they might listen to reason.
Not just the mods. Admins can (and should) also moderate content in their instances, specially when it comes to the global rules. And it's clear that lemmy.ml admins want to do so, otherwise this thread wouldn't exist on first place.
Sorry for the double reply. Here's a practical idea: what if the mods of this comm contacted lemmy.ml's admins? Ideally doing two things:
Among the admins I think that Nutomic would be the best to contact, given the github thread.
You're talking about your thread about Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete, right? It's still in the modlog for me, even in private mode. I don't think that they removed the entry.
It was removed by an admin, Arthur Besse. And in that specific case I can see both sides being reasonable - the lemmy.ml admins want it to be strictly SFW (that's fine) and some anime fans want to discuss ecchi (I think that the show is ecchi? That's also fine, really).
IMO it's just another reason why this comm should migrate - this is bound to happen again here, and again, and again, increasing the burden for the admins and displeasing the userbase. (It could be worse. Imagine now a hypothetical second season for Ishuzoku Reviewers.)
In my opinion, the migration is sensible because:
For context, I encourage people to check this discussion in the "join Lemmy" site github. Have in mind that both of the Lemmy developers in that discussion are also admins of the lemmy.ml instance, and they clearly disagree if the instance in question should be considered as "hosting CSAM" or not.
I think that this community should migrate, but for a different reason: topic.
The topic of lemmy.ml is privacy and free-as-freedom software. Most other content here is off-topic, including anime. It was fine when it was just lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml, as you'd have no other place to discuss anime in Lemmy, but now the situation is different.
And ideally, communities should be managed/moderated/administered by people who know well the topic of the community.
Your version of the 8th would literally undo all religion
It would undo the myths, I think. Morality and religious practices might survive depending on how much they rely on said myths.
and a bit of science
It would perhaps demote a lot of theories back to hypotheses, but that's actually good IMO. A good scientist should embrace the doubt and treat it as a respectable enemy, not hide from it like a catfish in the mud.
The five missing ones are:
Bonus: the original version of the 8th was
The current 8th (Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour) is a forgery. Some assumer got called out over and over because of the older 8th, since he really liked to make shit up, so he restricted it into near uselessness. Source: I'm Lucifer, I know it. :^)
[Speaking as a user] Yeah, it looks inorganic for me too. As another user said the gold trim signals that the post was gilded, gilding nowadays works like a "mega-upvote" and gives it that trim. It's possible that defenders of the Jewish genocide (Holocaust) and of the Palestinian genocide (the ongoing war) are dumping money in those posts, to promote their shitty discourses.
And that works really well in Reddit because the userbase there loves some oversimplification: they have a really hard time decoupling the Jewish people from the State of Israel.
[Speaking as a mod] Given the topic I'll be monitoring this thread carefully. As such, if anyone here is eager to either promote fascism (rule #1) or witch hunt (to point fingers towards other users based on assumptions or faulty reasoning - rule #1, rule #4): don't. Also remember that the topic of this community is Reddit, there's a lot of leeway for non-divisive off-topic but please don't go overboard.
And if anyone here has concerns that some other user is doing either thing, please use the report button, OK?
Oh "great", more crap between Ctrl and Alt.
[Grumpy grandpa] In my times, the space row only had five keys! And we did more than those youngsters do with eight, now nine keys!
Thank you! It's working now.
It's giving me an error, "Error Finding Entity // Make sure you spelled the entity correctly and that it exists!", when I use my username for lemmy.ml; curiously it works well when I do it for my beehaw.org account.
Sorry for such a late reply.
I'm not sure if I'm part of this big exodus or not. I've been toying with the idea of migrating this comm for months, as lemmy.ml is focused on open source and privacy while mander.xyz is focused on sciences. It'll be more discoverable there, it'll be easier to access it across the Fediverse, and it'll be easier to be on the same page as the admins when it comes to the rules.
The straw that broke the camel's back, for me, was not even politics. Or even which sort of content they allow/deny in their instance. It was how they handled another lemmy.ml community; it shows that they're completely unprepared as a team to handle users in an acceptable way.
