Ya mum’s bum.

I will continue to downvote until morale improves.

Wait.

This is not about arguments, bro. Or which ones do you mean? And safe spaces are meant to be non-confrontational. You can disagree, but you do it respectfully, without smug attitudes.

Pfft, I’d say overly aggressive to a fault. It’s not a good thing when they’re banning people for a passing comment where the worst offence is “gatekeeping” rather than something that matters.

It’s the sexist comments, boomer humor, male-centric views, the mansplaining, the chauvinism, the micro-aggressions, lack of empathy from a lack of perspective, the oversimplification without nuance, etc. All that generally makes women uncomfortable and sometimes it’s a bit much. Sometimes you want to forget those exist and focus on what matters to you with like-minded people.

It’s the same for us gay folks. I know I can’t just bring up whatever gay topic in a straight group where not everyone can relate, offer their first hand experience, or might find it weird because it’s not part of their lives.

Trying to concentrate similar people to discuss common topics is, at the very worst, a constructive division.

I haven’t had much trouble with World. But .ml and Blahaj are both fucking insane. Good riddance.

Found the teen! Yo guise, I caught one live! 😂

I also like that phrase. I wish I could say it more often in jest without getting slaughtered for it. Lol

I agree. Discussing politics should require some form of age verification! Reading the myopic takes are enough torture on their own, let alone having to contend with them.

(Yes, this is hyperbole. If y’all come for me I’ll laugh really hard at you.)

Some are easy to spot because they don’t understand that being apologetic has little to do with apologizing, for example. 😅

Ahh pinche raza xd

It took us forever to adopt Reddit. I’m guessing it’ll take us just as long to move to FOSS. On the bright side, Lemmy is gathering some attention.

Here’s one instance for Mexico https://mujico.org/ and I think there was one for one other SA country.

I swear Mujico (Mexico) was around for a bit. I wonder if it’s still up.

Edit: It’s still alive and kicking! https://mujico.org/

Held hands? No. Not everyone has the time, energy or training to evaluate a site’s trust comprehensively. I want to see what other people think in case they spot what I missed. I also want to see if people are even taking about the site and why.

I mean, can you imagine? There are so many sites out there I can’t spend three hours fact-checking one for the sake of replying to an argument. And then all that work going to waste for the benefit of nobody else.

Yeah, I’ve also looked into MBFC and found it was more grounded than what Lemmings were saying.

I always found it suspicious why people here would rather choose no fact checking than some. Is it the old “don’t let perfection ruin a good plan” again or other motives? Hmm.

Someone advocating for bells and whistles will get eaten alive here. Too many people would rather read their feed on a git terminal. The pushback would be worse than the community drama!

I see! I thought Lemmy had a section somewhere. I’m quite tempted to open a PR and write this stuff down “somewhere”. Lol

TIL. Where is this stuff documented anyway?

Lemmy is notorious for asking and including sources. It’s part of the culture. I wouldn’t say you’re supposed to swallow anything, but quite the contrary–make your stance.

I feel like she wasn’t told to use the block feature freely and deliberately. The block feature is your friend.
