Niche communities aren’t taking off as well as I’d like, but I’ve enjoyed these past few months on my different accounts.

However, I’ve recently noticed an increase in the kind of behaviors that made me quit Reddit in the first place (more trolls, brigaders, smarter/holier-than-thou types, you name it…) If this trend doesn’t pass, or worsens, I’ll have to expand my blocklist or just be more active on my accounts made on instances blocking those I see as problematic. That’s a good point for Lemmy when you think about it; just having to jump ship instead of abandoning sailing altogether.

No, it’s from Taiyou no Yuusha Fighbird, a mecha anime from the 90s.

I recommend you to sideload SmartTube on your TV, *if it has an Android-based OS. It works better than the official app in my opinion, and includes SponsorBlock.

*Edit

I don’t want for children to be used or exposed, I want for adults to ensure their protection actually; that’s why I think it’s the easy choice you’re making, because it’s easier to appease the country’s bigots than to safeguard children of gay parents. I’d also like to point that refusing them to be adopted by a ready and able to care for them family is harming children in its own way.

I understand the second part of your comment, Poland’s context and all. However, I’m not convinced by the soundness of a slow progressive approach at a time when there’s an international organized effort from the right to ensure their hold on, or grasp as much power as they can…

Being supportive of denying rights to loving couples instead of proactively fighting to change the mentalities appears as the easy, comfortable solution.

This is indeed an unpopular one.

Alternatively, there’s TrackerControl that does the same thing, but also let you block specific trackers in an app while letting it connect to the net (it’s a paid option for Netguard, if I’m not mistaken).

I just took a cursory glance at this Gadsen flag’s history and meaning, and it’s indeed removed from the bunch of wackos wanting to throw slurs around that co-opted it.

left-wing authoritarians started governments and called it communism

Tell me about it… It’s infuriating to be automatically associated with regimes that were just repressive hegemonies with a red facade; meanwhile, anti-authoritarian communist figures like Rosa Luxemburg are simply ignored, or worse, put into the same dirty bag.

Wouldn’t that make you quite unique?

Username checks out!

What about a hunting crossbow? They might be easier to get, and are way cooler than a rifle.

Must I understand that you think I’m a dick for pointing out the hypocrisy of someone going around insulting people?

Noted, I’ll edit my comment. English isn’t my first language, I used this colloquial term without thinking much about it.

That wasn’t my intent; I wanted to point for bystanders that this person’s speech was not so long ago the opposite of what they spout now, further signaling them as the troll they are.

It’s quite funny to see your well-adjusted self going around calling others “woke tankies” when I still remember you defending lemmygrad not so long ago, and being a CPC shill…

There’s something funny in seeing how a girl’s toy still threatens grown-men’s boyhood beyond their 12th anniversary.

Joke’s on you, I like a good beard on my men, my sweet furry preacher 😍

Arguing with you

Ah, here’s the issue: my mind was set on a casual exchange, yours on wanting to come out on top.

you have the same mindset as a conspiracy theorist

Would you mind elaborating on this, even succinctly?

Edit: well then, I’ll have to guess that it’s bouncing off and answering when in a discussion, as well as advising to take a step back when analyzing, that makes me the same as a conspiracy theorist 🤣

Very mature. Bravo…

Which current? Marxism-Leninism is a Ayn Rand/10, Luxemburgism is an 8/sweet beardy Karly.

Take all the time you need, even if it’s in days from now; it’s not a chat, we’re in no hurry 😊

Your points make little sense regarding human nature.

I kindly throw that ball back at you. To humor your vision of an immutable nature, it urges us more to run naked in the woods among our close relatives than to form planet-scale social structures. But again, I’ll pretend it’s how things are (accounting for the whole comment, not just the quoted part): the answer appears as evident as reducing the scale of our social structures, and work towards degrowth; and hey, it just so happens to be the form of communism I’m advocating for! 😛

I doubt you feel actually sorry when hearing or even seeing death to strangers

Just wanted to specifically touch on that: first, I find it detrimental to a sane analysis to assume our own vision of things as the norm, you’d be better of if able to detach yourself further, but you do you.

And second, do you need a strong emotional response to something in order to care about it? Having been emotionally numb for as long as I can remember, it’s something I genuinely can’t understand. Seeing things through an analytical lens as well as my values is enough, I don’t need to feel outraged by something to keep in mind at long term that it should be addressed: envisioning a feminicide, a school-shooting, or a mining accident as the result of (to grossly and simplistically summarize) a lack of education, lack of proper mental care, or lacking/exploitative policies, and acting accordingly at my level seems, to use the term once again, more sane.
