  • Maybe it’s just me, but the only topic where i see people consistently complaining about paywalls is in publicly-financed research articles behind a paywall, which should definitely not be legal and fuck universities doing that shit. As for general news i haven’t seen so much complaints, but then again, maybe i just wooooshed through them.

    Personally I don’t really care in this context because i can go to the source if I’m that invested and don’t want to pay, their job is to keep track and sometimes summarize what happens in the industry. Seems reasonable to either pay or invest my own time. Adblock is non negociable tho.

    Ok ok, let me understand you:

    • You had bad experiences with people of the other gender.
    • You think now that every man is exactly the same, and if they don’t, they’re just evil manipulators who want to hide their true evil nature.
    • You’re complaining about people who generalize with the other gender because of their past experiences (aka. sexists).
    • You 100% agree with the post, so you support neglecting people’s feelings as long as they’re from the other gender.

    So… Are you a sexist incel? Why should men respect your feelings or validate your past experiences then? Stop trying to solve sexism with more sexism, it doesn’t work like that. And please don’t disrespect me or assume shit from my personal life amymore, it’s just lame.

    You should be ashamed of your peers

    That’s exactly the war crime mentioned before. How is that different from blaming every german for being from the same country as nazis?

    Edit: The nazi analogy was just me trying to find an example that even a moron could understand.

    … I failed miserably







  • For me the ideal replacement would be to have a client supporting both lemmy and matrix. The UI would likely be an abomination tho.

    I prefer Matrix communities over Discord servers, but both are mediocre forum replacements. I wish forums would return, but the heydays of PHPBB seem long gone.

    Also prefer forums for most stuff, in group chats the relevant info gets lost easily, it’s harder to moderate, and impossible to continue a topic in medium-big communities. I think most people like discord over post because they don’t like the “create topic each time you wanna talk” dynamic, but then everyone started using thread channels the moment discord added them. It could be more reasonable to have one “general” chat then the rest be posts (kinda like amino i guess?), rather that implementing a whole forum inside an instant messaging app.




  • Thanks, this is what i was talking about. I think i eat a healthy amount of meat, mostly white ones because of health and because istg chickens in specific have no souls. Most argumens you used can actually be outweighed by “i just like meat a lot”, which is fine, but they are still relevant to choose what meat. I mean compare, in terms of ethics, health, sustainability, and even taste a McDonald’s and a halal butcher shop.

    What i try to say is that respect is just as important, if not more, than ethics; and you need both along with a little bit of reading to get a balanced point of view.

    …Biggest problem is I’m broke af and bad meat is cheaper than good meat and no meat, ethics are a luxury not everyone can afford 🥲


  • I know and agree. I actually didn’t even specify men, just stranger humans, as women also are way more likely to murder or rape you (statistically) than a bear. Remember we are still comparing to bears.

    Edit: to be extra clear; the danger order is human male > human female > bears (i don’t have gendered data for bears, that’d be weird).

    But that guy, as other people on this post, seemed concerned about certain communities where men are really demonized. I just added a logical conclusion you get from the numbers and his answer
