  • Fair, I never went on those subs and I’d imagine most Redditors didn’t. I’d also imagine there are some Lemmy instances which are just as bad if not worse. I guess that’s a bit different because federation means those communities are isolated from other instances, but I don’t know if practically it’s any different when it’s so easy to have accounts across multiple instances. I’d imagine anyone using one of those highly isolated instances on Lemmy will have an account on another instance.




  • No, identity isn’t that cringe, as long as you treat it as descriptive and not prescriptive. You don’t have to reduce yourself to labels to label yourself. Labels are just a useful shorthand for a confluence of experiences and lifestyle.

    Calling all Cubans who fled from Castro, someone who made a habit of imprisoning political dissidents and came to power by violent revolution, fascists is a bit rich. You can agree with Castro’s philosophy and think he did a lot of good for his country and citizens, and even argue that imprisoning dissidents was necessary in the given circumstances, without condemning those who did not want to live under his rule.

    Your whole post sounds like cope to excuse being a nasty person.



  • Except there’s no way for consumers to select based on climate impact at the moment. We can’t see the carbon footprint of the products we buy on the shelf and there’s no market mechanism rewarding companies providing products that have a low carbon footprint. We either need much heavier taxes on fossil fuels at the original point of sale, or mandated carbon footprints on product labels.
