There's almost always a more deserving community that could use some good content and growth!

Or, you know, play the classic .ml card of pretending you don’t know what we’re all talking about

Literally the only complaint of substance I've seen in this entire thread is people who want to be allowed to use slurs

Lemmy's search is dogshit... It's my number one problem with this place. And this is the ONLY place I use these days.

[antioutsideaktion@lemmy.ml]

vaguepost replies remain undefeated

[gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

It's almost as if you know you're in friendly territory so you don't actually have to have any meaning behind your words

More like I consider anyone who pretends not to know what we're talking about as a willful idiot not worth taking seriously

I don't have time to deal with those who deny reality, be it MAGA shitstains or blind tankies

[antioutsideaktion@lemmy.ml]

It's hard to keep up with all the reality you're inventing

It's over having a community wide hard line on pronouns. Even if a suspected troll is using neo pronouns (or any pronouns frankly) that's not a license to misgender them.

The user that sparked the recent controversy (drag) has a history of being pretty volatile/offensive but that's still no reason to compromise on neo pronouns.

I for one would rather put up with someone 'trolling' while using neo pronouns (until the inevitable ban for saying something shitty) rather than tolerate anyone getting misgendered in a trans-inclusive space.

I wasn't so lucky. I didn't even post about jury nullification. Just a Luigi reference.

[starlightdust@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Fucking hell. Really? Thanks for telling me.

If someone wants to use a less orthodox pronoun fucking let them. Drag might have a history of being a troll but refusing to use drag's pronouns means that drag's gender is conditional on them being well behaved. It turns the use of anyone's pronouns into an act of "just being polite" or "humouring them". Its a culture of gate keeping we cannot afford to perpetuate in the current climate of anti-trans hostility.

Y'all know you can post to more than one place, right?

[excessshiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

That relies on users knowing every sub similar to the one they want to cross post to. It also still fragments comments to each instance.

[grammarpolice@lemmy.world]

Nobody is spooked by anything. Many (like me) have the opinion that Marxism is a trash ideology and so shit on the place where its ideas are traded the most as they're trading trash opinions.

[drmoose@lemmy.world]

If .ml didn't exist Lemmy would be reddit-level huge already.

[braininabox@lemmy.ml]

Thank god it exists then, the last thing we need is another Reddit.

[drmoose@lemmy.world]

Yes, thank god .world exists and a reminder to donate!

literally no one but extremist anti-social tankies were using Lemmy before .world happened.

[grammarpolice@lemmy.world]

Not when one side considers using the phrases: dicksucking, dick riding or sissy to be the misogyny

[braininabox@lemmy.ml]

Reddit already existed before .world, makeing .world completely redundant.

[grammarpolice@lemmy.world]

So you're from China and can speak Chinese I assume is what you're trying to say?

[drmoose@lemmy.world]

Reddit is not federated, not transparent, not open source. Dumb take my dude.

[braininabox@lemmy.ml]

.world hates federation lol.

[diva@lemmy.ml]

I think the first two as commonly used are more homophobic, the latter more misogynist
