On android, the boost for Lemmy app has some pretty good filters. There’s some instances where I’ve seen nothing but negativity, and I’ve just filtered them out completely
If you are on instance A and block instance B, users from instance B can still comment on your posts on C.
A bit sensitive are we? lol
I just want to avoid the mod abuse that was back in the other place. Deleting a post with 70 comments and 500 votes because you think the word, “rice” is racist is peak gobshite.
because you think the word, “rice” is racist
I always love things like this, where someone reveals what they did wrong, but leaves out enough context to make them seem like the victim…haha
I’m not necessarily sure whether I’m in favour of the removal or not without the whole context, so I’m not taking a side. But I can imagine why it might’ve been removed.
When I post a meme that is self explanatory, I use a random word as the title. If you check my post history you’ll see “lemon” for Lisa Simpson.
I made a meme that was “My Steam Deck” “Me” “My 4080 Super” and randomly chose “rice” as the title.
So, there’s the context.
I would have abused my mod power to temp ban you for the lazy title alone.
Choosing rice either wasn’t random or you just stumbled onto “ricing” and “ricers” which comes from a derogatory name for Japanese motorcycle and cars in the 60s-80s? (“rice burner” and “rice rocket”). . Ricing/ricer later became a term for modded cars/motorcycles which were popular in Japan.
That’s where r/ricing and “Linux ricing” came from for Linux/unix theming. It’s not unique to that either. People use the term for their gaming rigs. An example of “ricing” in this context is adding tons of RGB LEDs. Some people consider the term racist, other people don’t care and continue to use it
LMAO, that is pretty funny. It was random, but if you read the meme the distracted boyfriend is looking at the not suped up version. It’s obvious the meme and word were not connected. The mod was just being an asshole. Hilarious that that is even a phrase though.
I think I saw your original post and have to admit that I was a bit confused about the title, but the first thing that came to mind was that you’re talking about ricing, so I get why the mod felt like it was meant to mean ricing
