It’s an emergent environment ideal. We consume so many living organisms, the least we can do, is to leave some in the chute and extract everything from it before expelling it. Otherwise, we’re just a pipeline of ecological destruction.
A guy who's totally not a drug mule and/or totally not wearing a butt plug for kink purposes asked for advice on how to go on some kind of walking expedition that's totally not a hiking trip with a group of unspecified people for three days without having to take a shit at the totally available bathroom facilities they'd pass along the way. He's unable to elaborate on anything for reasons that totally have nothing to do with implicating themselves in criminal activities and/or pissing off their Dom/me.
Answer: Usually a person is supposed to get past that over the course of normal childhood. I know this isn’t reddit, but I would still advise talking to a licensed therapist about this issue.
The biggest problem I'm aware of is that the lead developers of Lemmy the software are also the administrators of Lemmygrad. Which makes separating the art from the artist very difficult.
I think they (the people who say that) have either: an innocent fundamental misunderstanding about how the site works, a stubbornness about trying something new and strawmanning it sight unseen, or a malicious intent to keep users from migrating to a new platform (so they can continue to demonize the other to their audience on the current platform).
Something this platform offers is the ability to create your own platform, and integrate it with other hosts as you see fit, along with excising hosts that put out content you do not want to see (this can even be the “designers” community).
Just my $0.02 Back in ~2020, the only Lemmy instances which had activity were the ones that people flocked to when their Subreddit was shutdown. It went something like:
1 - Group sets up a hateful Subreddit 2 - Group members begin to repeatedly violate Reddit’s TOS 3 - Reddit bans the Subreddit 4 - Some groups had enough cohesion to send their subscribers to a Lemmy instance to try and salvage the situation
As a result, when I joined the Mastadon Fediverse in 2021, I heard the rumors about “Lemmy is only used by people who were banned by reddit. That’s why it’s only Tankies there.”
From what I understand Lemmy was created by people who support Russia, China, etc. But if we avoided all platforms run by people we disagree with there’d be no platforms left.
At the end of the day there are many servers, each with their own vibe and values. You can just pick one that doesn’t ick you out. (Not YOU you, whoever is wary of Lemmy)
lemmy.world is still on their blocked instances list, so you might be seeing data pre-defederation. The problem is that it seems you can interact with it but our instance will never be able to relay the content to beehaw (because we are blocked), so it’s like talking to a wall.
Yeah, that’s exactly what happened. A lot of hateful people liked Bud Light so when their favorite beer profused inclusivity, they started hating the beer too. I live in the Bible/light beer belt and Bud Light was the top choice of drink for lots of people. Now they hate it.
As for why the reaction has been so strong, LGBTQ+ rights have been a huge topic for conservatives lately. The greater acceptance of people in these groups has been used by conservative politicians and “news” organizations to stir up fear so they could get more votes/views. So when a company started marketing the acceptance that aligned with their campaigns/stories, they could say “see, we told everyone they were coming for you.”
