Engel's On Authority
synth bass riffThe first contribution I want to make to the lemmy backend is a word filter. It would kind of be like the slur filter, but it would let you turn it into any other word you want instead of removed . I feel like a lot of fun could be had with that.
Fark has been doing that for almost 25 years (e.g. every instance of the N-word becomes "attractive and successful African-American") and I'd be lying if I said nobody had a problem with it, but people who see fit to challenge it tend to give up very quickly.
It's truly a great bit and one that should be appropriated by a website that isn't reactionary.
When this site launched it automatically converted "Israel" to "Palestine," but this caused a lot of confusion and it was scrapped in about a week.
:left-unity-4: There are legit reasons to discuss it, this just isn't one of them.
I almost universally hear this word from right libertarians. Like they genuinely believe there's a category of people who love the concept of a state in abstract. And if you tell them to clean up their garbage because it will attract the bears, you're a statist.
I suppose it is used in Anarchist literature, but it seems like such an odd thing to accuse somebody of in a context like this.
In anarchist literature, statism generally means the ability to confer and legitimate violence. Now, generally speaking, they were talking about physical violence, in particular the killing of peasants revolts (one of the things that they criticized the Soviets, correctly, for doing, even though I don't know if an anarchic state of affairs would have been able to withstand the challenges of white army invasion, neither here nor there). However, the idea that a private land owner (a contradiction already within an anarchist society, but we'll continue for the sake of argument) has the right to exercise full control of their land without the consent (or even in defiance of) the general community, is not anarchist praxis.
Basically, you can throw all the trash you want, but you cannot tell people they can't come and pick it up.
If anyone says that word then their opinions are immediately dismissed and thrown in the bin.
You don't understand, if my slur speed falls under 50 slurs per hour I'll explode
Some of the people there are incredibly easy to bait into this shit. That's maybe the funnest part of the platform right now.
These freaks really love their Freedom Slurs™ :freedom-and-democracy:
:frothingfash: POSTERS OF THE WORLD, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT YOUR CHAINS! NOT UNTIL THE MODERATOR CLASS IS ABOLISHED WILL YOU BE FREE! :frothingfash:
yea, that's why i've just embraced the term authoritarian. cause what i want to happen to white supremacists would at least be authoritarian.
If people like this hate authoritarianism it must be a good thing.
It's such a meaningly thought terminating cliche. It's not used in any consistent way at all.
I have no context but a non-sremovedhorpe slur filter would be good. They can be tough to implement though since people are creative. Probably an allow list on top of the slur filter would be sufficient.
Edit: ah see we are subject to the problem. Remove space:

As long as somebody's willing to update it every so often with new exceptions people run into, yeah, that's probably the best solution.
Of course, I actually like the sremovedhorpe slur filter and think it should remain unchanged. The only people it makes mad are the kinds of people that I'm happy to see mad
being from the vague local-ish area of Sremovedhorpe and knowing the sort of people that are around here, we deserve it and also it's fucking funny. like, i'm not against fixing the system, but i would like just the filtering of "Sremovedhorpe" specifically to stay like that anyway, for the lols :england-cool:
normal person: oh I guess I'll use a synonym or just leave it because it's clear what I meant in context
this person:
Be honest, you stole this from lemmygrad didnt you I remember seeing this a few days ago
Lol yeah, but it did seem like perfect dunk tank material. My apologies to PolandIsAStateOfMind for stealing his post.
oh it does fit. You better respect IP next time you filthy commie :capitalist-laugh:
If it makes you feel any better, I kind of want to steal some Hexbear features to put in the Lemmy UI upstream.
Somewhere a gym locker is missing it's nerd.
Statism is when you don't let people scream slurs and the more you don't let them scream slurs the more statist it is.
Some people really do just not want to go to bed on time.
I'm sooo sorry that some places force you to think yourselves instead of blindly submitting to weak-minded mental decadence.
Facebook is that way if you want to be a sheep.
