Don’t know if this goes here or in /AskLemmy, but just wanted to know the best FOSS social networks, why are there so good? What would be the propietary equivalent?

    look: the cancel-culture has gone too far! I agreed with Whoopi saying Jews are white. i had a fling with a Syrian Sephardi jew (hung like a camel - to quote his own cousin) and he was WHITE. not as pale as me and maybe a bit darker-skinned than most Ashkenazim, but he and they are/were white. that is a neutral statement and neither good nor bad. its a fact - although scientists say race as we describe it today is incorrect and that there is only the human race, but people only like science when they cherrypick facts. Some Jews say they aren’t a race (again, race is scientifically inaccurate0, but an ethnicity. So, on job or gov’t applications, does it list Jew as ethncity? If so, where is Slav? Slavs are the largest ethnic group in Europe and often the butt of jokes (Poles, at least). Or, Mayan. Mayans aren’t Mexican, but Mayan and once had their own nation. Mayans aren’t Incan…many Incans and Mayans are now Mexican, but they have their own ethnicity. Not all native Americans share the same DNA - mainly since there were 2+ Berengian crossings…so, many tribes have their own ethnicty. So, why are Jews able to suspend Whoopi? I am no fan of Whoopi, but she said nothing wrong. Whoopi is an example among many. People talk about ableism, yet autistic people and some personality types have some trouble differentiating these new isms, these tiny distinctions. Why was it okay for a doctor to label a patient ‘mentally removed’ 20 years ago, but the same doctor today would be called politically incorrect for calling a man with Down’s Syndrome ‘mentally removed’ when he works in a facility with others who are ‘mentally removed’ but do not have Down’s Syndrome. They are in a subgroup. Why can I get called ethnocentric (or worse) for saying eating dogs in the USA should remain illegal, but when a Korean (a few said it) says it, he is just stating an opinion. Supposedly, because Asians (and now some Africans) eat dogs and cats in their native lands, they think they should be able to eat them here, too…and breed or cage them for meat. Those are just examples. But, I promised myself upon signing up that I wouldn’t discuss controversial topics, but here I am breaking my own rule.
