  • Flirting with Trump is flirting with Nazism - Response to Andy Yen (CEO of Proton AG) on Reddit 📢📢📢

    Jump

  • It's dumb to call Trump a nazi and the populist wing of the Republican party nazis.

    It's not even clever at this point, maybe it was edgy and transgressive like 7 years ago.

    The reason it's dumb is that you are wasting all of your powerful language and you will have no more if things get worse. Boy who cried wolf. Just like people did to racist which used to carry great power and now is basically meaningless as a powerful descriptor.

  • What's going on with the respectful dissent controversy?

  • What would your policy be for example if someone showed up and started debating on the side of Bad Team politics but doing so politely?

  • Some specific examples within lemmy.world that prompted this would be helpful (not a request for you specifically, a general request).

    A big problem on reddit is debate-oriented communities aggressively stifling debate and banning people for opinions well within the outside-the-internet window of acceptable discourse. So I can see why lemmy.world would not want to go further down that route if it appeared as if it were beginning to happen. Reddit can semi-tolerate it because there enough users to form niche communities if the big ones are terrible. Lemmy has nowhere near enough people.

    Unfortunately t can't all be (1) or (2) because both extremes are terrible.

  • If I want to make a lemmy community, in what ways does the instance I make it on matter?

  • Thanks for the explanation and link

  • Your home instance is lemmy.world, which is outright defederated with all but lemmy.ml

    Still learning. How are you here from lemmy.today if lemmy.world is defederated (maybe I don't know what defederated means)

  • what's your most down voted comment?

    Jump

  • The "source" request is also annoying because it's like, dude we're just chatting here, no I'm not going to respond like this is some academic debate.

  • I have a 64-bit gender

  • Least sensible discussion I've been in in a while

  • We could do laps on this all day. In the end if a trans person says they're trans and this is what it means to them, I'll take them at their word.

  • Imagine confusing gender and sex in 2025

  • I want to spend a half hour this evening reading an essay that contains ideas I have probably not considered before. What can you recommend?

  • I had one of his books of short stories when I was a teen (The Cyberiad) and loved it...meaning to read more of his work

    Jump

  • Read this many years ago and enjoyed. Great recommendation in the spirit of this thread (for anyone who has not read it)

  • Where on lemmy is there discussion about news, culture, and zeitgeist without people defaulting to boring and predictable political takes?

    Jump

  • Like I said, takes that at least aren't entirely predictable. If you've never been in such a discussion forum you should join one, it is refreshing.

  • Why do they say "there's no true Left in the US"?

    Jump

  • It also funnels down to freedom from bureaucracy too. Look at how hard it is in many places to legally build a non-fancy home on your own property. Endless restrictions, regulations, permits and inspections. Nobody is trying to free us from this.

  • If you had the funding from a major company and total creative freedom, what video game would you get made?

    Jump

  • What would your angle be? I feel like even with Portal 2, they were starting to exhaust the really cool possibilities

  • What do you miss from the old internet?

  • Have you ever tried Kagi? It's pretty interesting and I'm giving it a shot.

  • They reject being labeled by the left, it's the same how the left doesn't like "woke" any more.
