Yes gender in quotes since there at least 7 different definitions floating around, some in the dictionary for decades, some floated on Tumblr circa 2012.

class > race > “gender”

The best thing that Democrats can do is come up with a popular governing vision and then storm back in the 2026 midterms.

Personally I would think this would have to compromise on immigration and the worst culture war excesses of the left, while emphasizing support for the working class and most importantly good governance.

Lemmy has some of the most tiresome people, like a completely humorless version of the most circlejerk parts of reddit. Why am I here then. Because how are we ever gonna have a reddit alternative if we don’t have at least a few normal people.

What is with hexbear and lemmygrad…why are people calling these out

$10/mo is nothing. Whatever search you use today, you are paying in other ways.

Zuck sucks but this open letter is embarrassing. Dial back the smarm and self-righteousness a couple notches. I get it’s marketing and not really an open letter but still, cringe

What would your policy be for example if someone showed up and started debating on the side of Bad Team politics but doing so politely?

Some specific examples within lemmy.world that prompted this would be helpful (not a request for you specifically, a general request).

A big problem on reddit is debate-oriented communities aggressively stifling debate and banning people for opinions well within the outside-the-internet window of acceptable discourse. So I can see why lemmy.world would not want to go further down that route if it appeared as if it were beginning to happen. Reddit can semi-tolerate it because there enough users to form niche communities if the big ones are terrible. Lemmy has nowhere near enough people.

Unfortunately t can’t all be (1) or (2) because both extremes are terrible.

It also funnels down to freedom from bureaucracy too. Look at how hard it is in many places to legally build a non-fancy home on your own property. Endless restrictions, regulations, permits and inspections. Nobody is trying to free us from this.

What would your angle be? I feel like even with Portal 2, they were starting to exhaust the really cool possibilities

Have you ever tried Kagi? It’s pretty interesting and I’m giving it a shot.

Forums were great but the friction to find and join new ones was very high.

If these movies did not make money, they would not get made. Maybe other types of movies would get made, and maybe they’d be better, but the big budget movies that do get made are to make money.

Whatever most people in real life would say is moderate.

Cool. Can I ask you one more question? Can I comment on Beehaw (or lemmyNSFW, but I’m at work so not going there right now) using this account I have at lemmy.world? The reason I ask is, I see that I can comment on other lemmies (e.g. lemmy.ml) using this account, but only if I find them through lemmy.world’s communities|All tab. But I don’t see Beehaw there.

Or more basically, in general for another instance running Lemmy, how do I access it using this account at lemmy.world?

Thanks so much…

Good to know! Are there other Fediverse sites with different moderation practices? Like what’s an example of one with a VERY strict policy, and what’s an example of one with a very loose policy?

Unsure if trolling or not. Yes, you have the power to choose what you view online.

Some instances defederate from others, and you want to make your community somewhere where you agree with the moderation policy.

Is there a way to easily see which instances are defederated from others (or conversely which instances are connected)?

What does defederation imply? Feeds aren’t aggregated, or users are not allowed from the other instance?

Also one other major question. I thought lemmy was its own thing, but I guess it’s part of the Fediverse? The Fediverse is just a set of protocols? What is lemmy then?

Thanks. Is lemmy.world the best instance for general discussion?
