  • Mmh, I see some mention of pepper spray. What most definitely carry are battons. Also can we talk about how god damn based Norway is, making Police a highly educated force with mandatory studies in ethics and sociology? That’s the way.

    Under this model, success is achieved not through high numbers of arrests, but rather is preventative with an emphasis on defusing tensions and focussing on the frequently underlying causes of crime such as poverty, addiction, and mental illness.

    Some countries really understood it. Only with these things combined (as well as proper pay, healthcare etc) a police can be trusted with the right and privilege to enforce law. Still without daily gun carrying.

    “ASMR” fucking riles me up, I can’t understand how that stuff is supposed to be nice. The only desire I have listening to it is to smash my fucking speakers / headphones after a short while. Imagine someone holding stuff close to your ear making obnoxious sounds, same thing.


  • You’re missing the issue, unfortunately. What you say is technically correct, but as long as a minority id actively persecuted they have to be actively shown to be normal and nice people to, well, normalize their existence. And right now the evil people are winning, so it’s even more important to mention it. We’re as far away from trans being normalized like left-handedness as it gets.

    I see why this might even annoys some, but it’s not trans people who want to be in this situation. We (yes, hello 👋) just want to fucking live our lifes in peace and happiness, without the constant (additional) fighting and fear for our life.

    About Lemmy… well, it’s the current alternative to corporate media. It’s just natural that those who’re vilified and cast’ out are the first to arrive here, as well as their allies. 😉












  • Where do I even start…

    • The verification process constantly breaks
    • Sessions get randomly unverified
    • Pictures aren’t being send occasionally
    • Their client is a UI/UX catastrophe
    • Room Events are incompatible (esp. w/ Element X)
    • The “experimental” voice rooms are total trash, settings are not working (e.g. auto-gain can’t be disabled)
    • The Calls via Jitsi somehow have a worse UX than Skype had in its worst days
    • The verification via emojis uses different emoji styles, missing the point completely
    • Due to the session mess “Can’t decrypt message” will be your best friend
    • Even if you got a verified session it sometimes fails to decrypt a message
    • The federation is SLOW. As in “wait many many minutes” slow.
    • The whole Spaces-with-detached-rooms concept is a mess
    • There’re no proper moderation tools
    • There isn’t even a god damn admin panel! For the longest time you had to MANUALLY CURL THE API. Even today you have to mess with third-party admin panels that usually don’t have all options exposed
    • Encryption is nice, but Matrix leaking tons of metadata isn’t.
    • They effectively stopped developing the Element client in favour of Element X, which isn’t available in desktop. And also loves to break during verification.
    • Third-party clients sometimes work better, but certainly don’t expect anything but text chats with pictures there.

    I really tried to like it, I even attempted to move a community over, attempted to self-host, all the jazz. It’s a steaming mess for years now with no end in sight, and literally everyone who tried it eventually left disenchanted. Don’t even bother trying it.
