It is the method by which it is filtered, but not the list by which it’s filtered

This is the way that Lemmy as a whole has filtered words implemented, just not every instance filters the same words (or at all in some cases?)

World preemptively defederated from them “as a last resort”

My preferred way around this is to spoiler the tag, since there’s a few other tags of this sort floating around: /j (joking), /hj (half-joking), /srs (serious) for a few examples. Doing that still gives you a moment of not giving up the joke, but it’s still ultimately there for anyone that wants or needs it

I watched the director’s extended cut and wow that cut makes it so clear that the director is a pedophile it’s disgusting. We looked up the differences after and it’s the majority of the more questionable scenes. Similarly we looked up the director’s wiki page and he’s got some gross history (see personal life)

Hexbear is where the chapotraphouse users largely have landed assuming they followed the direct line of succession. There probably is some contingent in Lemmy.ml, but not because it was the successor

Once Luxottica bought the vast majority of glasses brands and buying off all the optometrists to only stock their stuff

Make it fast to push the limits of the machine, then bring it back and make it look good afterwards

I would argue that this title implicitly suggests there’s no genocide in Gaza while the other title doesn’t reach beyond the bounds of Gaza.

As to the “wiki is a bad source” I don’t claim to have any knowledge of that poster’s thoughts, but here’s a couple possibilities I’ve come up with:

They thought it was interesting that the genocide was evident to the “ordinary” person that edits wiki despite them thinking it’s typically a bad source

They are just some random ml user whose opinions on wikipedia don’t strictly match that of the concensus of lemmygrad, hexbear, et. al. Since those instances are more united on that stance than I’ve observed Lemmy.ml to be (right or wrong as they may be, not making a judgment here)

I mean that’s what it suggests on its face, but literally the same track the slim shady character is shot and killed then reveals it was all a dream in the outro, which really undercuts the entire narrative of the album leading up to that point (13 tracks into the album BTW). To me it feels a lot like a “haha jk idiot” since Eminem admits on another track that the slim shady character was an outlet for (paraphrasing here) “the stuff that’d get you ridiculed but we all know is true” amongst other messed up stuff.

Because she’s not trans

All keyless start kias and hyundais are/were immune to the Kia boys trick

MAUs is a decent measure, but last I know (admittedly old data) Hexbear had quite the outsized post/comment rate for their users compared to other instances. I don’t know if the higher MAU count on the other instances counterbalance that at this point, but I think that’s at least worth something in determining the size of their presence on the fediverse

I wouldn’t call hexbear faded in the slightest. You may have them hidden/blocked/whatever to that effect

It’s specific to the upcoming update with the proto-frames where they’re still obviously human, and are specific characters rather than generic warframes

Ml is run by the creators of Lemmy, and hexbear is well… Not. Hexbear made their own fork of lemmy a long time ago and only in the past year or so have they been actually able to federate at all. I don’t see the creators of Lemmy going through all that effort to hide their identities if they were actually running hexbear behind the scenes
