I can see where you come from, but as a gay man, I would go crazy if I had to enter every homophobic encounter with an open mind.

Also, entering an argument might not change the other persons mind, but it might change the mind of bystanders

While this post is talking about the internet, in general it is important to talk about “politics” with people (what is “political” ?).

If you don’t talk to people about why racism, sexism, transphobia or something else is bad, they will bring that conversation to people who don’t have the choice to ignore the conversation. They will harm and harass minorities.

I agree that the internet might not be the best place to change people’s minds, but it is important to name and argue against bigotry when encountered.

You should of course still be mindful of your own mental health <3

where is this from ? :)

just advertisment for Amazon - now people will talk about them and share this ad on social media :/

there is a lot of weird things about what you’re saying, but for one:

the same amount or more petroleum would be spend on cultivating food for the to-be-slaughtered animals and transporting the meat around.

I’m not a vegan (anymore), but veganism is still the lesser evil here

I think perhaps it would be nice with custom tags.

I would like to block all content of sexual nature (sexual nudity, lewd anime, the like)

it is very subjective what is nsfw and what is not. For some people, making porn is their work, so obviously porn is not nsfw for them.

If we had custom tags, we would have the hassle of having the same thing in a lot of different categories, but I would much prefer that to having only the nsfw option which is just not enough to capture the diversity of content (and badly named).

then I could block all the porn tags (or perhaps block a user driven list of porn tags) and avoid a lot more “porn” than I do now 😅

I don’t think it is on purpose, but this feels somewhat like antisemitic propaganda.

it just icks me to see ‘they’ underlined and then drawings of non-human humanoids who control the world :/

I do my personal wiki in markdown (with kakoune and kak-wiki), and then I convert to html using pandas :)

converting to html, adds an extra step in order for people to edit the text, but it makes it easy to access and navigate :)

sad to see that he thinks like that about rape and the whole Epstein thing :(

There is https://peertube.tv/

It is a video sharing platform and part of the fediverse :))

I think that might happen more often on mastodon, since if you reply to a thread there, it gets boosted to all your followers.

It might be interesting to add a sorting method to Lemmy, that would bump posts every time a comment is added.

Perhaps something to turn on for each community individually ?

I use Tasks too :))

Letterboxed - an app like bookwyrm, but for movies. I’ve seen other people talk about it and I think some people are working on it, but AFAIK nothing is up atm

the “collective” is just me, my boyfriend and two of our friends :))

we’ve lived together for about 7 years and plan on keeping it going. I don’t know if collective is the right word to describe our living situation but I can’t think of a better word either :)

I like to collect mugs - nothing better than drinking your morning coffee from a crazy mug :))

I collect mugs with my boyfriend (and the rest of my collective) and it is such a nice hobby. I can almost always guess who brought the mug into the house, based on people’s interest.

Yesterday I drank coffe from a Friday the 13th Mug and I know one of my collectivists loves that series :))

the only issue, as with all collections, it takes up so much room in the kitchen 🥲

as mentioned by (an) other comment(s), you should add Kakoune under text editors, perhaps with the text:

Kakoune

A modal terminal text editor based on Vi. Kakoune is based on selection before action and is committed to the unix Philosophy.

and when talking about descriptions, I don’t have a problem with the descriptions being subjective in tone, but could you remove the word “master race” from the Vim description ?

while I understand the history of using “master race” in tech related discussions, I think the nazi history overrules that by a long shot. Even if it didn’t have the history it did, the word emanates eugenics.

otherwise, I think it is a nice list and a good initiative :))

I really like community made resources :))

calling Islam a 7th century death cult is very racist.

Far from all Muslim people advocate for controlling women like that. Make your point about sexism, but please do it without the racism.

//EDIT: I knew people would get angry about my use of the word ‘racist’, when I made the post, but I hoped people wouldn’t be so nitpicky. Of course I know people of any race can be Muslim, but the idea of race is much more than just the colour of a person’s skin. Race is tied to culture is tied to religion. I could have used any word instead of racist, like ‘anti-muslim’, ‘xenophobic’ or just plain ‘hateful’. I used racist, because I believe all these things are connected, and by calling it racist I hope people can see that.

Also, I’m an atheist myself, but Atheists really need to stop our war on religion. I hate organized religion and I will fight discrimination when I see it. But let people be.

the issue is with the text.

it says “they are …” instead of “there are …”

this sounds like a good idea - I’ll try that :))
