It's back for me. By the way, I've seen the criticism of lemmy.ml - the post that was criticising them had examples of 'censorship'. The censored posts were imo:

the actual posts in question were low information, misleading and in many cases also denying reality. One guy denied we’re in a (soft) cold war even. I think the mods there need to be clearer about the rules though, and criticism of any country’s actions should be allowed. They left the post up too btw.

And I’m actually okay with discussions about geopolitics being controlled. Those tend to bring out the worst wierdos from the old place.

I'd say it's mainstream media-type liberal bias. Inclusive aesthetically, and occasionally sincerely too, but mostly shit.

Sadly we've got the smug 'new' atheists of the old sort on here too.

They're not committed to progress, only condemning others as backwards while (generally) supporting punitive policies domestically and abroad.

Seems like we had downtime again just a little while earlier?

That's interesting. ^[Markdown is very cool]

Just for clarity Kindles still don't support epubs but if you use their service they get automatically converted to a compatible format and then pushed to your device iirc.

Seems incompatible with our values tbh.

That's cool. Will this ever be needed and/or usable on Android - idk much about Flash except that it's no longer supported but still somewhat popular because of it's past and capabilities.

You are the same as me, but I'd add Tabsession manager, epubpress, foxy tab, onetab and search by image. And more.

It looks genuinely very cool.

It just worked for me.

Well you can't control what other say, the only option is to ignore or tell them they're rude.

And I'd argue an extreme position isn't necessarily morally repugnant, and likewise racism is necessarily extreme. For example usury is a Christian sin, and having that crime abolished would achieve a moral good but it is an extreme position.

Btw I haven't looked at many of your comments, so I can't work out whether you're a centrist (who calls positions outside the overton window extreme), or if you're broadly a left-liberal euphemistically calling racism extreme.

I can't even remove the gif from my notifications, its still there when I go to all.

EDIT: it says removed by ADMIN, thank god.

Well, if you're replying to somebody then they're going to understandably assume it's directed at their opinion, especially if you didn't simply post a comment on a post and replied instead.

Otherwise if your opinion is part of a current contentious political debate, then it will attract arguement and the best you can do is assume it's in good faith and try to counter the fundamental point they're making - if you're inclined to.

Lol I assume I probably disagree with his position, but has he actually stated it anywhere yet?

Well the basic rule of persuasion is to state what you agree with already, I assume an arguement can be productive and civil if you follow a similar pattern. State your points of agreement, then the diagreement.

It all depends on whether you consider Mandela are terrorist.

no need to be passive aggressive.

Mate, you were confrontational in the first place lol, no need to tell the other guy to calm down, he's not an idiot, he knows what you initially assumed of him obviously.

I personally like looking at the number of posts and comments I've made rather than karma (I can't even see karma tbh, but iirc some apps can display it, it must be available under the hood somehow or the app is just calculating it idk).

You must then be ignorant of the weaponised LGBT identity politics that is sometimes used to justify the invasion and murder of Muslim lives in the Middle East by white countries, as well as the fascist shift in Europe against Muslim immigrants.

LGBT people often participate in the rhetoric and are used as a stick for punitive policies in Europe.

Does this mean by extension all LGBT people are responsible for these crimes?
