Video on @TheJournal's Instagram page just now - protestor being arrested in Dublin at the Biden event.
On the ground being cuffed, clearly restrained and one of the two Guards on top of him is hitting him with a baton several times.
I expect our brave office will receive a commendation.
@ai6yr There really isn't much going on across the mainland US! It's rather shocking!

Here’s what The Counteroffensive is reading today:
On Tuesday, the U.S., Ukraine and Russia held the first trilateral talks since February 17 on security guarantees and lasting peace in Ukraine in Abu Dhabi.
Earlier, Ukrainian delegates met officials from Europe and NATO.
Im aktuellen 6. Bericht des Weltklimarats IPCC ist der wissenschaftliche Sachstand zum globalen Temperaturverlauf so gezeigt, gleich als erste Abbildung. Das sollte jeder kennen!
What do you think people will call Trump's Ballroom in the future?
Trump's Folly has a nice ring, but we could go uglier...

Just the sound of whoopie cushions being sat on... Until it is bulldozed & replaced by something else / what was originally there is restored.
Hey, just checking.
If you're in Canada, could you access https://www.senate.gov or https://www.warren.senate.gov and tell me if you see this page or if you see the actual websites?
EDIT: Thanks, I got many confirmations of this. Also impacts EU and UK.
@mcc Proxying via the US, the senate.gov site loads fine, but for warren.senate.gov Access is still very much Denied (but with a different page):
I've gotten a couple parents reaching out about their kids' FIRST Lego League projects, pitching designs that seem a little too advanced for a kid's project (ie, ideas that feel advanced for me with a PhD in this stuff to take on, never mind a fourth grader). I have been trying to steer them back towards ideas that would be more appropriate and engaging for kids. Is it an open secret that many parents are doing their kids' projects for them, propped up with AI?
@dantheclamman I think @HayiWena was a middle school science fair judge last year and noticed a bunch of stuff like this maybe?

Welcome! It’s cozy here :-)
Except for the centrists and conservatives here who are terminally obsessed with tankies who feel the need to warn everyone in every single “I am new” post.
Stop
Cheating on your spouse, whom you took a lifetime vow, is not honorable in any way, shape or form. It is a reflection on one’s moral compass. And it is never a mistake, it is a choice.
I've known lots of middle-aged gay men who came out past 40, after marrying women & having kids. That almost never happens without an affair.
Society: You guys need to stop sexually assaulting women.
Fraternities, not knowing what else to do: Uhhhh okay I guess we could light people on fire then?
@lowqualityfacts It was real?

@mlanger Yep, but worse, it's really just a promo disguised as an interview.

The difference between blocking and purging is that a blocked account is still residing on the instance (even more so for user blocks instead of admin blocks). As the data is still there, it opens possibility for legal trouble. Full purges by instance moderation action is different.
The scope of my proposal is not to help curate and filtering content for instances, but to enable widespread coordinated action against content which was already created and is harmful without any room for interpretation.
approach could be any IP
That is a whole other issue. Scrapers and request spammers, not content spamming accounts, can be combated with already existing technology at the reverse proxy server. There are big crowdsourced IP banlists which are continuously updated.
I think subscribable block-lists for instance admins
This would be the easiest solution. But I think it will lead away from individualism of instances, as all decisions are automatically applied, instead of only a manually reviewed subset.
Your idea with applying the mod action after a threshold of other instances did it too is something to consider. It will keep individualism but also creates "avalanches" once enough instances in the network agreed on a decision, which might be even better for propagating swift action against general harmful content.
Appreciate the feedback 😊

Makes sense. I suppose my described lists could also be made into purge lists.

Not my knowledge base, so good to know that already exists.

Definitely a balance needs to be struck, between quick action and preventing abuse.
