Look, I’ll be very real with you. If you’re being honest, and I have no idea if you are or not. Whether or not you’re intending to come off that way, you are coming off that way. It does not matter at all what you intended, it’s how it’s perceived by everyone, and right now, you are not perceived well. You do not come off as neutral.

See all of this would be true if we were in some academic argument, but you’re not. You’re not arguing for your case or facts, you’re arguing against people. People who get to define their own rules for their spaces. So, in your own vernacular, if you choose to “fallate anyone’s junk after doing my own research”, which we all know means “I want to be inflammatory and annoy people”, then you’re going to have consequences, because us people don’t want to hear it.

So, how to put this to someone who thinks we’re having some grand debate.

• Mods/admins created a space where they do not want things like racist terms.
• You used racist terms in said space and tried to incite arguments.
• Thus, mods removed your post.
• QED.

If you want to do all of that, go start your own Lemmy instance. There you can walk around and make whatever rules you want and argue with all the people who join.

Your fallacy would be correct if what I was saying was wrong and couldn’t be backed up with evidence. Your title used a racist term, and then your post itself was meant to be divisive.

If you want to say I pre-judged you, let’s look at your post history.

4/8 of your posts have been removed. Most of the time when something is removed you come here, complain, and then it also gets removed. You have a grand total score of -70 votes on your posts. Of your 296 comments, you’ve received roughly a 1:1 ratio of downvotes to upvotes (more downvotes btw). You are controversial to say minimally.

You poisoned your own well. Your trust is near zero here. What you do post is inflammatory, and we can tell.

Edit, because you edited, your choice of phrasing is exactly why you get removed. You choose to go out of your way to be polarizing, and these are the consequences.

My friend group has already moved to Matrix, and we’ve been happy

I Will never understand why the open source community hates the GPL license. Maybe they just haven’t seen themselves how big corporations taking advantage of free individual independent developers. I still remember the core.js developer, whose code is in pretty much every giant framework out there basically begging for any sort of income for his work while his family was going hungry in Eastern Europe. Angular, react, all major frameworks absolutely depend on it and never gave them anything.

As someone who has done both, programmer most recently, and has respect for both, you’re being very judgy. Both are difficult enough jobs without other tech fields bringing each other down.

If you’re a programmer and don’t see what is wrong…

They do have this, unless I’m not understanding. I run a space (same as discords servers) and in there I have channels that are just like discord’s.

They always forget that others deserve to have places without cars. Seriously why do they need to drive through a park. It’s a park.

I watched a guy pee on an electric fence! That was a fun day.

You used racist language and were trying to bait everyone into an argument, aka trolling. YDI

The real thing is that if we wanted fair and open elections we wouldn’t be looking internally to solve this, we’d be going to other countries who do and trying to emulate what they have. The fact that we haven’t even thought of doing that shows where the priorities are.

Sometimes it don’t be that way unless it do

Renewables are the obvious long term win. These people only think about the next 3 months

Others have said it here better than I could, but I was the same way but for probably other reasons. My mother lost her home, not due to misfortune but because she couldn’t manage her finances. Quick splurge items and random ideas too priority over long term stability. Anyway, so I thought mortgages and loans were scary too.

Then I got educated on them. They’re not scary if you understand what you’re doing. Loans are not scary, they are tools to achieve your goals. A tool can be extremely useful to accomplish your goal, but you also shouldn’t reach for that tool every time either.

If your goal is to own your home, a mortgage is a great tool if you know what you’re doing. Learning about interest rates, how they’ll affect you, sitting down and looking at your long term finances and knowing what you can manage paying every month for the forseeable future is how you can calculate what works for you.

Where it gets scary is when people walk in, not knowing what they can afford and taking everything the bank will give them, not knowing how much they’ll be paying over time. That’s when things get predatory and scary. Knowledge is power as they say.

Now when I need a loan I go in, and I know what interest rate I want, what duration I want, and exactly how much I need, and the bank usually says yes. I’ve proven myself with my credit score to be a trustworthy person to lend to, and l can now usually get pretty decent terms.

Learn about finances, learn the math, and learn how you spend money. Once you get that knowledge it stops being so scary.

No, it’s not. Financing is a great tool, and used wisely and with knowledge of interest rates and total cost, can elevate you quite a bit in life.

This however is predatory lending, and it should not be used ever.

Impressive, if it’s true. Would be interesting to see. So far I’ve seen flux 2, which would require way more GPU! Han I have, and queen image which seems on par with flux 1. This could get me to finally up my pipeline

Asking baity questions is worse.

Because we can’t just have a good movie. It has to be a franchise!

I’m getting there more day by day. I’ve moved over to using my own dns and email service, that was a big one, but kept my gmail for leftover items and now it’s mostly for spam. All of my oauth I’ve rolled off Google, and now use a password manager and separate emails. Phone is still the largest annoyance, but I just ordered a fairphone this week! (After google pushed a huge update which killed my battery, seriously sitting at home my battery died at 7pm last night, after barely using it. That didn’t happen even a month ago). So it’s a process.
