Technical question 1: as an alternative to a full block, is there a way to “soft block”, or tag, or whatever, some people, to act as a sort of CW?

Not ideal, but Sync for Lemmy premium (ultra) has a custom tagging/highlighting feature. Not sure about other apps. It’s subscription or a large lifetime payment. But there is cloud syncing (and other features).

Matt Baume queer history in amarican sitcoms.

That doesn’t justify it…

I don’t even see how it’s possible to stop someone from using social media until they’re 18 unless they truly don’t want to.

Yes, but do they self-identify as the bad guy?

It’s a bit much

do they know they’re monsters?

You badly underestimate the proportion of people who have never heard of Mastadon.

RIP Mario and Luigi

Oh you’re in for a treat. I’d really recommend playing the original Paper Mario first if you haven’t already.

(they dressed a boy as a girl as they thought it’d be too cruel to have this line said about an actual girl)

Damn, I knew none of this. Which is of course the point.

Thank you.

Not exactly what you asked, but have you checked local thrift stores?

I’m not sure actually, but that’s a good idea.

How does that relate to staying defederated then? Or are you calling for more of it? I don’t care either way, just curious.

That’s still “all”. Sync just calls it everything.

but that’s still beehaw

If you’re signed into Beehaw you won’t see lemmy.world content anywhere (including in all/everything).

If you sign with an account from somewhere else that “everything” feed will be different.

“Local” is communities only from your signed in instance. “All” will include posts from communities anyone from your instance has subscribed to (and they can only subscribe to communities from federated instances).

I’m not sure. Once the connection has been made I’d assume it stays but I haven’t verified.

Who’s demanding anything? Surely we can discuss it amongst ourselves as a community?

I do. I generally don’t have problems on lemmy.world communities. I’d just understand the hesitation to refederate. To me if that’s on the table I think it’d make sense to do one at a time, and if one has to be first it should be the smaller one.
