We cannot win by changing the fediverse into something like what we left behind because it will no longer be the fediverse we know and love, all we have is the good fight of educating people on why it is better and ourselves as an example - a city on a hill to which others may flock if they see the shine, and it may not be a fight we can win but it is the only fight worth fighting.
Nobody is trying to be manipulative bro, the boogeymen in your head aren’t trying to be offended - you come off like an asshole that’s why they’re assuming you are.
Kamala lost. The idpol of kinder language is a trashfire and a failure because the assumption that “empathy” is a shared quality among humanity is wrong and “bloodlust” is actually far more common, while complete ignorance and anti-intellectualism and accusations of “overthinking” prevail over both as you can see in the programming.dev techbro below.
Talking about how language influences views of marginalized or minority groups is useless when most people can barely even read more than a paragraph without bitching because they never developed reading stamina.
As for those who make these conversations necessary in the first place - they will always use the meanest word they can and all this has done is fed fuel to reactionaries.
There are far more important real fights to fight, like access to HRT and surgeries for people suffering from gender dysphoria - a crippling disorder, before you metropolitan libs start going on about “trans-femmes” and “masculine gendered language”
☝️🤓 - HR sounding ass
That’s rough. That said as a trans woman (no idea what a trans-femme is) I don’t see a problem with it in the context of “you guys”.
I use “dude” as a general exclamation towards my own also-trans gf sometimes even. Really y’all oughta chill on the language policing. If you pass people will treat you like the gender you look like, if you don’t, they won’t really, no matter how much they try, and your main issue is not passing and thus money which can fix that, not other people and their language use.
Nothing magical about it, it’s just federation, that’s not what I was referencing in my comment - my interest was more about a potential culture clash - despite what the hordes of retards replying above seems to want to frame it as.
Yeah I’m not so sure anymore either. I used to buy into this thinking from personal experience, like nobody amongst any generations could have the nuanced detailed discussions about progressive subjects like race and gender and it’s depiction in media as your typical Gen-Z or millennial on Tumblr or Reddit and all those massively popular decent video essayists and science communicators on YouTube, heck even the right wingers used to make fun of millennials for “heckin’ science” and whatnot.
But now it’s like there’s been a change, now everything is so massively anti-intellectual, people unironically say that a paragraph is too long to read in comments they choose to browse, simplicity is glorified versus complexity/reality/nuance.
Perhaps Gen-Z is just far more polarized and radicalised in both directions. If I have to think of the most “lame” thing someone could say in my generation and the most easily attacked position it’s to be an establishment or status quo simp like a milquetoast republican or democrat.
Yeah I don’t mind em too on Mastodon because poor twitter design philosophy makes things hard to search and filter. Not on here though. Blocked.
Of course it does, everyone finds reading difficult the first time they do it. Try it again when you’ve had some rest and you may realize that your interpretation isn’t correct or what was meant at all. I just find it weird that people on mastodon would interact with Lemmy, not that they could.
Your confidence in your ignorance is what’s wrong with the world today. Blocked.
Huh? Nah I just find it weird that people on mastodon would interact with Lemmy, not that they could.
You’re a condescending shitwit for instance either doing a dunning kruger speedrun on reading comprehension or misinterpreting on purpose, probably a 12 year old tiktok child, why would anyone sub to a Lemmy community off mastodon with people like you about? I’m contemplating leaving myself. Blocked.

It’s beyond moronic to misframe my comment as being ignorant of the fediverse and then respond to it like a busted LLM with a skewed data set. Blocked.
That much I know but I guess it’s somewhat wild to me that you would subscribe to a Lemmy community off mastodon. People there seems a bit off
EDIT: Lots of morons below are taking my comment to mean that I’m surprised they could not that they would (want to) which are different words that mean different things.
Everybody and their grandma understands how federation works on here, you ain’t smart for figuring it out. All blocked.
No offense but why are you using hashtags
Aren’t tons of young adults also MAGA now
I think you misunderstood. TLAs want people to prove their identities to prevent or collect data on victimless “crimes” like ML or being a customer or vendor of substances outside of the US pharma-DEA cartels’ authority.
I don’t think that’s a good thing, I think criminalising such activity is a way of oppressing the proles on their own tax dime, especially when white collar not-so-victimless crimes are seldom punished, therefore I am against KYC.
Yeah, it’s an anti-glowie measure, that’s why we like it.
Plenty of nice scientific info in the thread but from a personal experience as someone who used to hit the bong 3x daily for months, it makes you okay with being bored, it’s instant entertainment, and at the end of it you feel stupid because you wish you’d done something with the time and been bored more to get that spark of creativity to come through.
What?
