Yeah, i think my imagination just got a bit ahead of the issue this morning. I'm laying the blame on the screamin kids in the kitchen :p

I think almacca@aussie.zone reset my expectations for what this could mean pretty quick. Maybe it wasn't worth the post.

Might hinder fediverse growth if lemmy app developers en masse don't agree tobthe new terms though. But i suppose thats about it.

    I've found the mobile website (as opposed to apps) fine, although I generally avoid apps unless they're necessary. Which app are you using? (and who are its developers)

    google is trying to make it the developers fault.

    Google is playing with fucking fire.

    OP, why are you asking about Aussie.zone breaking with lemmy? This is between google and developer apps

    Guess when I return to android I’m not going to be able to use apps :(

    spoilerOr I wade into the waters of Linux based phones with the higher stakes of it being my main device, so I’ll be forced to adapt and deal with any tricky problems under time pressure or I won’t be able to use it. I’m not the most technological person.

    I don’t really use apps except my banking app but am increasingly being pressured to for things like maps, and the way things are going may eventually be forced to.

    This is really dumb by the way. Or just a naked data grab. You can verify for OS or apps all you want but at such a general level without even having a profile or requiring any impersonation there’s nothing to stop someone else from simply using the phone. Parents do actually keep their child occupied by handing them their own phone… Passkeys may help but can be given for that purpose or guessed. All of this would be better handled by using parental controls.

    But Google just has to be evil.

    Edit: I don’t currently use any apps to access Lemmy but it probably improves the experience

    Well i suppose another option would be to log in via the phones browser.

    I imagine most people accessing lemmy are using an app for the convenience. Is it likely other app developers will be happy to comply with these rules?

    Kinda hope i don't have to give up Jerboa, its a good app.

    No problem. A trick you might find handy is that you can upload an image to this site by putting the image in the body of the post temporarily (first you'll have to download it, of course). Once you've uploaded it into the post body you can grab the image URL (now on aussie.zone) from there to put in the 'Thumbnail URL' field, and then delete the image from the post body.

    Sometimes you can get problems if you try to use an image URL that's hosted on another site, because those sites prevent 'hotlinking' of images a.k.a. 'piggybacking'. Lemmy doesn't automatically re-host external images set in 'Thumbnail URL', so doing it yourself with that trick above may help you avoid issues.

    I've said it before and will continue to say it the A.Z admins don't give a fuck about stopping this sort of shit and are happy to leave it and the users who say it alone.

    You see how that’s a bad thing, right?

    See Nath's comment about us not being the shapers of the community or its discussions. Users are free to reply or ignore as they see fit to other user posts/comments.

    Choosing to remain silent should not be allowed to give someone ranting about lebensraum

    As I previously posted, (twice now), that is not my interpretation of the comment on the article you posted. Only if you view the comment in a vaccum could you come to the conclusion you have. It seems you've either ignored my interpretation, or don't understand it.

    If I were jewish and posted in support of legislation put in place to protect fellow jews, and someone on the internet leapt to the conclusion I was a nazi because the legislation in question is right leaning... I'd probably do my best to ignore them too. Seagoon doesn't owe you an explanation for your misunderstanding.

    I'm done posting on this topic unless you have something new to say.

    Seagoon has not posted to clarify the thinking behind their comment.

    You see how that's a bad thing, right? Surely. If they don't clarify their stance is anti-genocide in very unmistakeable terms, one must conclude that they are, in fact, a Nazi. Choosing to remain silent should not be allowed to give someone ranting about lebensraum the benefit of the doubt during an active genocide.

    From another of my comments (the news article the comment was made under referred to banned phrases in QLD):

    I took Seagoon_'s comment to be in support of the ban on particular phrases, by highlighting another dog whistle for nazis. Before this, I (like Nath) did not know this was a nazi dog whistle.

    Another is shaping the norms of a community and what is acceptable.

    This is incorrect. The community shapes itself. The community is lovely. We are not it's shapers.

    You've been here about as long as the instance has existed. In the almost three years we've been at this, have you ever seen us shaping discussion? Who the hell am I to dictate to everyone what the norm is, anyway? I'm just some guy on the Internet.

    I was reluctant to remove a reported post on /c/worldnews the other day, despite it being in clear violation of the sidebar rules.

    One neat thing about Lemmy is moderation is all transparent. The modlog is just down there on the bottom of every page. You'll see that just about all the accounts I ban are for spam with a smattering of troll accounts. We are accountable to the users and not some secret group manipulating discussion out of sight.

    I fully believe that the user in question is a Nazi. There is no other rational explanation for their behaviour .

    There are other explanations, such the one from my comment you replied to. You may not agree with my interpretation, and Seagoon has not posted to clarify the thinking behind their comment. If it becomes clear that a user is a nazi, I'll take appropriate action, as I have done with previous users.

    Any space that allows that user is a Nazi bar.

    I disagree with your characterization of Seagoon as a nazi, this is categorically not the case.

    So Western Australia has two electorates larger in land area than Texas.

    • 'Tinpot' Texas is 695,662 sq/km

    • 'Oceanic' O'connor is 1,126,937 sq/km

    • 'Big Dog' Durack is 1,410,947 sq/km

    So, I think this Letterkenny fan should be saying 'Thats a Durack sized 10-4' if they're coming onto Aussie-zone slinging sick quotes.
