Keep in mind people tend to turn white noise up pretty loud, so the ad was probably booming

It's a meme

Not a great article. While it was mostly objective about the situation, it did not quote anyone but the developer, giving him complete control over the narrative, and links to many other articles about “rejecting wokeism”.

I know about Hexbear and wanted to mention that it was a Hexbear user but this ironically happened just a moment after I made my own Hexbear account. I know some of the users there are extreme, particularly that user, but the community overall I find worth it.

That said I have to wonder what you mean when you say to avoid getting in trouble and to stay safe. Is there a history of people being harassed or harmed by those groups?

Yep, and it wouldn't be very far back in my history if you want to see it. My last comment in that convo started with "ugh". I was talking about transgender issues with someone who was extremely argumentative and kept strawmanning my beliefs so I told them in no uncertain terms that I was done with the conversation and blocked them. Later I decided to unblock them and discovered that they had replied not only to that final comment continuing to tell me I'm a bad person for their strawman interpretation of what I said, but to another comment I made in a different thread.

So this person who is actively insulting me also has the ability to follow me around and continue insulting me, and blocking them just makes me unable to defend myself.

Actual functional user blocking. I don't want users being able to see my comments and reply to them when I have blocked them and I was totally surprised when they did.

"Natural byproduct of the cheesemaking process" is the key term here. They don't chop up blocks of cheese to get curds, curds are curdled chunks that form when the cheese is still liquid.

Almost all contain nickel and nickel allergies are common. I have it!

You may be allergic to the metal (IIRC nickel) in normal metal glasses if that's what you have. For people with that, which is common, titanium is the only metal kind that will work.

At least on r/Firefox, that was partly due to an enormous uplift by the moderators to keep it not toxic. I become a moderator there specifically because of the pervasive anti-Mozilla toxicity.

As a former moderator of r/Firefox... We inherited this from reddit.

Unlike reddit I am pretty sure we can edit titles on Lemmy

Can you give a summary of why that is?

Yes, I agree. Particularly when it isn't just rehabilitative and is punitive.

There are fates worse than death, you're right. But I think you would be one of the few who would prefer it to prison as it currently exists. But I think a sub point you have made is that prison is tantamount to torture, and I in some ways agree with that, which is why I say that non-rehabilitory prisons are unethical. It's also the model in the entire US.

That is frankly a disgusting point of view. Death and non-rehabilitory imprisonment are both wrong but not because it "costs money".

This is clearly from an incredibly privileged person, because if you understood how minoritized people are treated by the legal system you wouldn't be arguing for more executions.
