I think I’m just gonna tag you as a misogynist with my Lemmy client and move on with my day. Maybe less demanding women debate you in the marketplace of ideas might be good for you. This is weird and beggy.

Are you actually trying to say you are not a misogynist while simultaneously calling a woman hysterical? Did you know that the Greek word for womb is “hystera”?

Christ - some of these replies are exactly what a lot of women talk about when we say that Lemmy has a misogyny problem.

Blokes really don’t recognize how much harder shit actually is for women, overall. It would be lovely to just sit on a bench for 5 mins without a stranger coming to chat me up, or if people would stop crediting men for my work when they don’t even ask for it.

I know someone who does business IT where the ISP were trying to charge a huge amount to connect fibre to one of their sites. Thankfully, they had another site a few miles away that was already connected. They found it was cheaper to stick a pole on each building with an omnidirectional WiFi antenna. Apparently the speeds weren’t too bad even though ping often left a little to be desired.

Only ever had one of these, but I wasn’t popular in school, and the vibe of person I have hung out since then are too anticapitalist for the most part.

Most of it tends to be where a woman will mention experiencing something disproportionately, as a woman, and there will always be a man in the replies saying that men experience it to.

There is a recurring thing on poor consent towards women’s bodies too, particularly whenever SWers are mentioned. That’s more of a carry over from Reddit though.

I didn’t use Reddit towards the end so I might be a bit wrong but overall it feels a lot more likely that you will bump into the same people on here. Its nice that you don’t really get your karma farming GallowBoob types.

The misogyny on here seems more intense though even if the mods and admins are more on top of it.

I’m an adult and I recently ended up on bedrest for a week for wearing roller skates down too steep of a hill at the same time as pulling my shoulder because my bag was too heavy.

I live somewhere where we have had multiple stabbings directly outside in the last year or so. Our rent is still increasing. Our landlord spoke to the landlord of a property that is in much worse disrepair near us and saw cash in his eyes.

Cw r slur

I recently had someone I already had tagged as “racist” replying to me with some misogyny, clicked on his profile and found him defending the R slur. Because instances are smaller, it’s actually feasible to message instance admins when there is someone like that too.

This is transmisogynistic and misogynoir as well as plain old misogyny. Don’t ask me to explain. Just don’t do it.

It really seems like instance admins tend to do a much better job with a lot of stuff on here than the core devs. Its a shame that forking would take as much work as it would.

Lemmy has an undeniable woman problem that it carried over from Reddit. I’ve lost count of the number of pathetic blokes that I have blocked on here for anti feminism.

.ee user. What a surprise

Gonna put this out there because nobody else has said it but you might want to glance over at @[email protected] and see how things relate to you. You are perfectly within your rights to be a lesbian if you would prefer that.

I actually imagine that there would be a lot of similarities to the structure of already existing anarchist organizing, particularly street antifascism.

Usually people will meet ahead of an action and discuss likely events and how to respond. If things happen that weren’t predicted, it relies on the initiative of people on the ground.

Usually people with experience will end up making snap decisions, though people will occasionally veto them. If there is an opportunity, the people who disagree will huddle and decide on a new course of action. If not, someone might just call it out a new course of action, which people will also sometimes veto.

I’m personally quite a fan of simple instructions that you can chant because it also boosts morale and demonstrates unity to the opposition.

At a recent example that I think was particularly effective, a group of spotters* were following a fascist march, one person shouted, “Come on guys. We can’t let them go unopposed.”

A second person indicated that they agreed by proposing a strategy, gesturing to link arms, saying, “Link up.”

A third person adapted that into a chant of, “Link your arms! Stand your ground!”

Spotters are a scout-like role who usually have the responsibility of keeping an eye on the opposition and relaying that information back to the action itself. In this case, the spotters realized that remaining as spotters was less useful and adapted accordingly, since the main counter was trapped elsewhere.

Interestingly, as the police decision makers were with the main counter, the police who were with the spotters were unable to act because their structure depends on a hierarchy whereas the adaptability of anarchist organizing doesn’t.

Sadly its not doable with Kindle and Linux anymore. I buy my ebooks since I only read indie but I will only do it from Itch or other DRM free sites.

I used to quite like the Unity desktop for all its quirks and how the panel would merge with maximised title bars. I do that with KDE Plasma, a global menu, active window controls, and a bunch of command output widgets for CPU usage and things like that. libadwaita-without-adwaita and gtk3-classic help to theme the stuff Gnome tries to force the look and feel of to be consistent with everything else. Another tweak that I have grown accustomed to is editing the Firefox userchrome.css. It means I can even make that fit in with every other application too. Search Github and you will find loads.
