This will be your only warning. Do not make bad faith comments like this. It's entirely fine to bring new information and to correct people, it is not okay to insult people like this.
Right, I might've been more confused with your previous to last paragraph because using she/her pronoun as 'default' was and is a genuine feminist practice in French where gender neutrality is more difficult.
Anyhow, I would recommend not arguing your points like that - it just kinda smells like bad faith argumentation.
By calling reverse discrimination a far-right trope, I presume you mean complaints about reverse discrimination?
Yes, that would be correct. It's the basis of the Great replacement theory.
announcement reasoning
...no it wasn't?
Your last two paragraphs, especially the last one, feel eerily close to reverse-ism.
"Reverse-ism" usually refers to "reverse discrimination". It's a big trope in far-right circles and ties directly to the "Great replacement" theory.
It's unclear what your intentions were when you said this but it felt weird.
It's worth understanding that "agenda" has a negative connotation. In this context, it's used as a dogwhistle against women and queer people.
Because they hate/don’t want to learn rust and think Java is a superior language
You know, that's not what I've read. It's worth mentioning that it doesn't just use Java.
What I find infuriating is that this same meme also happened at the provincial level in Quebec in 2018.
I mean, even if you're a labour fan, I can't imagine needing to do a coalition with the liberal democrats and greens would hurt. That said, I don't know much about UK politics.
Bringing this topic back up here in this manner is really inappropriate.
Honestly, I agree. I've cleaned up the thread a bit but it still seems pretty nasty.
I've personally had the opinion that we should go for a more isolationist approach with an allow-list when we move away from Lemmy and into Sublinks. I think it's worth trying.
Personally, I really wish we could have an invite system, I feel like it'd be better than asking a friend to fill a form - that feels a bit rough. It would also encourage word of mouth and organic growth imo. And people tend to have likeminded friends so it would probably help form culture.
As a side note, I think we need some new blood in moderation teams, I think some people have moved on.
Don't call people "incredibly fucking stupid". Be(e) nice.
I think we would probably keep applications to allow people who may not have friends that can invite them here. We may be more strict with the answers though.
I, personally would still like to allowlist places which I think are pretty good. Though, ideally I would like one-way federation so beeple can still explore places which don't necessarily meet the standard we set for allowlist.
