I’d argue that Apple is much worse.
Comparing Epic, who made some gamers upset by having some games exclusive to their e-shop, to one of the biggest opponents of consumer rights is a bit silly, isn’t it?

context matters — it was a meta discussion about the word. I didn’t call anyone “slur word” or whatever. For someone being against fascists you sure act a lot like one, kinda proved my point perfectly.

For other people you can check context in the modlog:

Of course you can’t know what it was because apparently saying the word is against the rules lol; here’s a hint though:

Most of my posts are political because 90% of posts on lemmy are political. That’s like asking why most of your purchases are cheeses at the cheese shop 😂

In fact if you take a look at my profile I’d argue it’s far from being most of my posts (I’m not even subscribed to a single political community). I even moderate multiple communities not a single one of which is political.

Dude the word t w a t is banned, how is that a slur?

You somehow imply that swearing is the opposite of friendlyness. Just think for a moment where do you swear the most? Amongst friends! 😁

Probably, if there isn’t a good one yet. I’m planning on forking lemmy and an instance with some patches - like removing the childish “slur filter” and other awful design decisions that by the looks of it are not going to be addressed ever.

I’m not very fond of current administration which seems very socially inept which is kinda ironic for a social network project. I’d kinda prefer more community focused, apolitical and friendlier community which hopefully will happen with federation support if it’s ever implemented.

Edit: so many down-votes and admin replies just kinda proves my point here 🙄

<…> by the lack of Trees. The big issue is the increased building density.

Actually increased tall building density is very good for creating shade and reducing general temperature of a city. New York’s concrete jungle is much more efficient than LA’s tiny house colonies. Building’s outer material and roofing are also much more reflective than asphalt or cement that are used on the ground. Of course tree’s and grass would be the best but that’s not always a realistic option.

There’s a very cool podcast episode by 99% invisible on this matter

China copies US app: iNteLECtuaL tHEFt!
US copies Chinese app: INNOVATION

What a dumb propaganda article.

Any sane individual should denounce both horrible imperialist shitholes that are USA and China.

So any foreign affairs is imperialist? Have you looked into China’s foreign “investments” and this very own rail belt? What out extreme and forceful “unification” of China by conquering Tibet? What about fake islands and claims in East sea to the point of calling it “south China’s sea” ? What about government sanctioned fishing piracy?

If that’s not imperialism I don’t fucking know what is.

What a load of bullshit propaganda you sheep. Also what’s up with this US VS China bullshit - you’re aware there are 6 more billion people on this planet right?

Lol make up your mind - you’re aware than imperialist and liberal would be on different ends of a political compass 😂

Also its quite funny that you call me imperialist while defending arguably the most imperialistic country in the world.

You’re so dim that if you were a pencil you’d be a fucking eraser lol

nato propaganda machine

lol, good ol’ whataboutism!

It'S all aBOut sTopPiNg CHINas EcONOMY; whaT camPs? 🤮🤮 You’re a disgusting fascist.

Ewww, seems like Chinese fascist propaganda machine is full force right there 😬

Edit: so many down votes by trolls lol

By actually living under communist oppression?

How is that relevant to the current discussion lol

If you criticize absolute monstrous failure that was soviet union that means you’re a nazi? What moon logic is that?

At risk of getting banned I really don’t like Lemmy’s pushing of communism from the comfort of their 1st world capitalistic countries. I feel that it’s good to discuss it and have the idea around but as a Lithuanian who had a lot of my ancestors straight up tortured, murdered and sent to Siberia by monsters that were Soviets, a communist is much worse than any nazi ever was relative to my experience. So in a way I completely agree with Panzerfaust’s message here.

I really don’t understand why every reddit clone has to be spear headed by blind extremists, I feel that the mods got a bit power-trippy with the recent success of Lemmy and I’m afraid this will be the end of Lemmy as it was with thousand other reddit clones.
Reading this thread alone paints a pretty bleak picture.

ironically ☭ doesn’t function lulz

I like reptiles, I like wraps.

or will conservatives always get the boot like on Reddit?

If it stinks of shit everywhere you go then maybe it’s time to look under your shoe? 🤔

While there’s value in conservative thought most people who subscribe to it don’t know how to exercise it.

No that’s not what it means. For example if country services France it has to obey French laws, the “incorporated location” is completely irrelevant for anything but taxing. Same way if you serve mutli-cultural user base you shouldn’t be forcing everyone to follow single country’s culture.
