      The rules are simple:

      1. Don’t be a communist
      2. Don’t be not a communist
      3. If you have a car, do not talk about it

      If you follow those easy steps you should be fine

        1. Don’t not hate Capitalism, even as a joke.
        2. Don’t post anything a child can’t understand.

          1. Don’t admit you use Windows
          2. Don’t talk about any browser other than Firefox, Librewolf or a spinoff
          3. Linux, Linux, Linux.

            I always poke those bears.

            This. I dared to say that I like Brave and I vehemently hate Mozilla and… Oh, boy…

              Hanging at dawn then?

              I try to use Firefox and Librewolf as much as I can, but the fact is that I’m a student and the websites my school uses for certain classes do not work on Firefox/Librewolf. I’ve also run into issues with certain other websites not running right and then when I switch to a chromium browser everything is fine. I don’t have the knowledge to properly troubleshoot if the problem is on my end or just a shitty website, so it’s just easier to use Brave when I need it.

        The car thing is insane, even when you explain that you live in as regional area with limited options AND that I can drive to work in 20mins vs 60mins on public transport, you still get yelled at.

          Just check the 15min-Town idea created in France.

          We must realize that most actually town-concepts and public transport are build to seduce you to buy a car. (Mostly in western countries, where the car industry is one of the main successors.)

          Oh the market is 40 min away and outside of the town and the bus only drives every two hours, well better buy a car or get lost.

          Back to the 15-min Town, the concept is, there is everything you need for living (market, doctor, schools etc.) in an area you can reach in 15 min without a car.

            Australia, 7.8M Km², 26M people.

            France, 0.5M Km², 65M people.

            You can’t compare rural France and rural Australia, the cities sure, build your 15min cities anywhere the population density suits it, but it doesn’t work in regional Australia.

      Depends on the instance. Lemmy world has gotten pretty bad, but Beehaw for instance (no pun intended) remains great.

        Idk what to say in Beehaw form but I heard they hate communists, maybe because of lemmingrad, I totally understand the position but for me is no go.

          If you think the anti-communist sentiment on Beehaw is too strong I’m not sure what you’re doing on lemmy.world.

            If you think anti-communist sentiment on lemmy.world is too strong you might be a tankie. I think you’ll find it’s anti-authoritarianism.

              Now you’re putting words in my mouth. I’m replying to someone who appears to find Beehaw too anti-communist, while being on lemmy.world, which is on average significantly further right and as a rule a lot more hostile towards communism.

            Well, as I said above, news and World News are aberrations to me, but I never saw beehaw discussions actually, I just heard a gossip and became biased.
