seriously - too many people see criticism of Israel’s government and read it as condemnation of all Jews. As if it’s the case that that government represents all Jewish people worldwide (or even all Jewish people in Israel…!)

It’s like people are thinking that wanting Israel to stop its genocide also means there should be another genocide targeting Jews?? Nuance beyond that sort of black-and-white polarized viewpoint seems to be increasingly dead.

how can you say something so controversial, yet so brave

There are a lot of people who I don’t think care whether he is found guilty or not tbh

Rule of thumb: If it’s included with an install where you’re clicking through the defaults, to the average user the distinction doesn’t matter, it’s part of the OS

You are aware that Threads and Facebook have the same origins, right?

Surely you’re not directing those comments at Mastodon…

Uh, nope, you’re putting words in my mouth. It’s not realistic to worry about mitigating that kind of stuff when we can’t even prevent ourselves from cooking ourselves, and several of the things you listed don’t even have plausible technical solutions right now. Nice try, though.

a planetary catastrophe out of our control

You’re still describing climate change. Science fiction ideas are fun to think about but our own inability to live harmoniously with nature is going to kill us off before any of those problems become relevant.

That’s actually really cool!

I was expecting this to be about some recent online game, but nope… PSP…

well, if whatever code automatically turns plaintext links into hyperlinks isn’t Markdown related, then it’s still the instance or client you’re using that has the problem. before they edited the trailing space in, it was working correctly on my end. You should consider looking into it and filing a bug.

That would seem to be a failure of your client’s or instance’s Markdown parsing. The link works correctly from Mbin.

There is an issue on the Mbin repo asking for that as an option if you are or know a developer with free time

Not a la Eternal September

Missing ligament? Like because of genetics or something? That’s wild

Yeah, you probably don’t want to risk getting caught for that. There is a possibility you could be criminally charged (regardless of how stupid you might think that is, it happens) when the school finds out what you’re doing. And if you’re using school-issued hardware they’re very likely to find out what you’re doing.

I imagine it can be used that way too!
