It’s frustrating that these trolls keep contributing to the big lie that “Lemmy is not ready yet” and that there’s “no viable alternative to Reddit”.
That’s not frustrating at all! That’s GOOD! It’s proof they see Lemmy as a threat, and right now, it is!
It’s simply, many independently controlled things, that can interact with each other like they’re centralized. But there’s not one person with their finger on all of it like FB.
So you’re looking forward to being part of the problem, just what the internet needs more of. Awesome.
Your biological doesn’t care about your “experience”, it dictates what you are whether you chose to live that way or not.
So the current definition of a “transphobe” is somebody that grasps biological / genetic fact… Gotcha! I lose track of which words are being repurposed to ensure people remain offended at all costs.
But that’s just it, that’s literally what free speech is. There’s a downside to it, sure sometimes ignorant morons do in fact use it to spread hateful shit, but this is 2021, “hate speech” can be as simple as a disagreement on ANYTHING at this point, so if we draw a line, where does it end?
If I go on a mainstream forum and say I don’t think my kid should get a vaccine that hasn’t proven itself in kids, I’m spreading “misinformation”, except I’m not, I’m stating fact. They haven’t been tested enough. My kid has 2 friends at school that had nice trips to the hospital after being vaccinated because their parents couldn’t get the needle in their arm fast enough. I’m not an anti-vaxxer, but I’m also not stupid. You’re not allowed to have an opinion that goes against mainstream without having a political buzzword attached to you and having your statement wiped out of existence. That’s a very dangerous line to walk just to shut up some ignorant trolls that would have been ignored anyways.
Typically over the years it’s Android apps I regularly use that are written well that are a benefit to my day to day life. I’ll typically throw a little money at least once a year. I’ve thrown AntennaPod money a couple times in a year because I live on that thing, that app is completely indistinguishable from any mainstream app, looks great, it’s feature rich and I feel is better than half the proprietary apps out there.
Extremely! Same dude I just agreed with on a reply called me a cunt (didn’t elaborate why) right below it. It’s the agree with me 100% on everything or it’s full on attack. Yet accuse wolfballs of being intolerant bigots. Good ol’ pot calling the kettle black!
Thank you for proving my point, we have a difference of opinion so I’m a “cunt”. Thanks for showing your level of intolerance.
Hopefully you’re not also promoting “inclusion” other places. Because that’s clearly not something you believe in.
That’s what a troll does! Their purpose of existence is to be an ignorant douchebag.
Run well? You ever been there?
On the Ronald McDonald thing… who cares? Why are you that hypersensitive? Welcome to free speech. On the “Illegals” thing, that was referring to people from other instances coming on and down voting the crap out of things which was made pretty clear… so?
On the Dr Oz thing, I disagree. Somebody isn’t a RINO because they’re on the right and say they have compassion for trans athletes, but MANY now regardless of what side of the fence you’re on have a cult like belief that you either subscribe to 100% of an (assumed) political ideology or you’re canceled. But again, moron or not, free speech.
I have compassion for trans athletes, and trans people in general, I can’t even imagine what it must feel like to think you’re in the wrong gendered body for what your brain is telling you that you are, but I’m also not going to pretend that especially in the case of a professional athlete that a biological man doesn’t have a huge unfair advantage over a biological female. Changing your name and clothing, and even taking a bunch of hormones doesn’t remove that advantage. That simply can’t be ignored. This is only a thing because it’s been politically charged. If an athlete tests postive for PEDs they’re kicked out on their ass and labeled a cheater. But when they biologically have more muscle mass, more bone mass and all around more power it’s ignored you’re cancelled and labeled a “bigot”. Sorry, that’s bullshit. That’s simply ignoring the biological differences between men and women, if there wasn’t a diffeerence as some people living in a dream world actually claim, then why do trans people have to load up or hormones, hormone blockers, be prescribe other anabolics etc?
I’m for everybody living their life the way they want, but that doesn’t include disconnecting from reality to do it.
Hopefully you don’t ban people on your own thing for asking for something to be Pirated based on political beliefs.
Difference of opinion… Blocklist. That fits.
Google has always maintained what they do, and we know their an advertising company. They’ve always told everybody what they’re doing (in million word TOSs that’s only a lawyer can read) but they told you. Terrible for privacy… But they told you.
Apple started scanning photos and messages and used the excuse that the whole planet must be pedophiles. That has a way of pissing people off way more! Gote me off iPhone and back on a DeGoogled Android!
Because Lemmy has become just as bad. You either have free speech or you don’t. There is NO gray area. But people cry, and change the definition of “hate speech” and “misinformation” to fit their needs.

Based on what data? We’ve been dealing with Delta since around May, Omicron for a little over a month. There’s been breakthrough cases since the beginning, as there always has and will be as no vaccine has ever claimed to be foolproof.
There’s still way more people getting Delta than Omicron at this point and the more people that get vaccinated shift the term from infected to “breakthrough”.
People need to stop being obsessed with variants, the more people that vaccinate, the more variants. That’s how it works. The harder it is for a virus to survive forces a mutation. Its as good as its " bad".
People should be lining up to catch Omicron from what it seems. I didn’t have a bad time at all with Delta, from what we know so far Omicron is a complete joke compared to Delta and the original strain assuming your healthy as a whole and not immune compromised or have other comorbidities that could complicate it.
Easy, because it lets me run GrapheneOS, not into my phone being a house arrest anklet, nor it being my personal data miner.
