If one group owns all three branches of government, they can do whatever the fuck they want. We’re seeing this right now.

Asana is… not a whole lot better.

Not to mention, “freedom of speech” only applies to laws congress may make (even if they regularly ignore that). There is no “freedom of speech” law across the land that is some god-given right. Admins and mods are free to run their instances and communities as they wish; if you don’t like how they do it then you can leave. “Freeze peach” is always used by conservative snowflakes to cry about having their opinions called reprehensible.

It’s always a persecution complex with them.

Is there a setting where women can choose a bear preference?

Hick hop

Pls pet?

No touch! Only pet!

Would you eat honey from a natural hive without these practices?

ffs they won’t eat honey, and that’s only because you’re stealing the fruits of the bees’ labor. I would assume the International Vegan Council outright bans figs with extreme prejudice.

Ouch… I guess you’re right, but that would be tough for me to do (and then hypocritically eat a chicken sandwich)

Did you do this to brag, or to avoid the FOSS Enforcement Patrol?

How do you give it a quick end? Our guy is a masochist and likes to watch them suffer.

He was banging underage boys before it was cool. Look up “Lady G”

half-million dollar bombs

If only they were remotely that cheap.

No way, name and shame. They’re in public and plates are meant to be seen.

Yeah, it keeps me honest. If there’s nothing more to look at, I’m more apt to pick up a book or work on the side project more.

It is objectively a lot more male than Reddit or other social media.

Reddit circa 2010 was very male, nerdy, and often misogynistic. As it gained popularity, the community became more diverse. As it got more traction, these issues abated somewhat. Once it hit critical mass and became totally mainstream, the audience was diverse enough to make most people forget how it used to be. I miss when Reddit was at the “sweet spot” of being pretty diverse, yet not corporatized to shit.

Lemmy/Fediverse is still in its “early Reddit” stage now. It shows great potential but its basic premise and design probably prevents absolute mainstream adoption. Which is probably a good thing, but I would like to get closer to the sweet spot.

The sparrow!?

None of this is wrong, but to call trump just a patsy now seems wrong. The first term, yeah. This term is all about his whims, ring-kissing, and burning the house to the ground to feel important. Fucker is way off the rails and wants to end the republic; which, despite its sundry flaws, was still semi-functional as a going concern.
