“Dead language”

Dude it doesn’t count if you’re literally killing the language on purpose

It depends on your definition of awful. People with opposing opinions, perfectly within their legal bounds? Yes. People violating the rights and safety of others? Absolutely not.

I meant in the original post haha. Since their comment was that fascism didn’t end in 1945. If the post had said “winning against fascists”, it would make more logical sense

Saying they defeated fascists doesn’t imply there are no more fascists left.

I can say I hunted deer, that doesn’t mean there are no more deer left in the wild.

By referring to “fascists” (the people) rather than fascism (the ideology) you narrow your description to more accurately present the scope of your statement. The German Nazi party were fascists. They were defeated. We defeated fascists that day. There are more fascists, but that doesn’t mean we didn’t fight and defeat some number of fascists.

Honestly, more of the world (and especially the US) was strongly opposed to the Nazis during WWII than the population now, because it’s been so long. Which makes the fact you gave even more frustrating for me honestly. Because we have the information now. We know. There’s no excuse for present day.

Replace the word with “fascists” and it makes so much more logical sense. And this is why wording matters

“If you could stop killing people by the millions in a mass cultural genocide, that would be great. Thx.”

These people never seem to realize that even at its most basic level, ensuring equal rights and freedoms requires a level of forfeiting individual freedoms. In order for everyone to have equal right to physical safety, you forego your freedom to punch them in the face without consequence.

These people go to talk about democracy, describe anarchy, then get upset when reality doesn’t meet their expectations. Your expectations don’t meet reality, bud.

"Correcting a broken bone out of alignment is… Strategically re-aligning through use of force to snap it back into position in order to enable proper healing?

That’s literally breaking a bone again."

I’m trusting the doctors more than you on this one, buddy

Rather than jump to “trauma” here (and believe me, I say this as a person with PTSD), could you elaborate on what you mean by “fear”?

“They’re lesbians, Harold”

I’m so used to hearing him called “Zucc” that it took me a second to figure out who “Mark” was

I’m screaming.

(But also this feels like just a human phenomenon. Hopefully their research goes beyond “online forums”)

Leaving reddit made me literally touch grass. Guys I went to the park today!

They like having no competition, by being friendly at first, then crushing us when we let them access our userbase. Defederate, with no second thoughts. If the Meta users want to experience the fediverse, nothing is stopping them from making a Lemmy account on any instance.

The content is facebook-oriented content. Idk if it would even really be the kind of audience that most of the fediverse would be able to sustain.

As it is, reddit was a concern for many people. Facebook? Not a chance.

Besides, large scale defederation discourages Meta from trying to weasel their way into everything like that. Don’t encourage them. They want you excited, but overlooking the massive issues.

Swap your car or plane ride for a bus or train
