I got yelled at on Mastadon for saying refugee, apparently it's offensive to people from war torn countries.

Wow it really IS like Twitter!

[–] Raf 33 points 1 year ago

Is it really? I feel like people in war torn countries have more important shit to care about. This might be another instance of "terminally online person being offended on someone else's behalf"

Us lemtards over here don’t know how to behave.

https://queer.party/@njion/110533346803997348 it was here. I don't know exactly how it all works yet, but I was looking at a fediverse all feed

i dont see it, i do roll my eyes everytime is see people suggesting that we are somehow required to adopt the culture and ideology of the developer of a project.

its like people are really seeing opensource for the first time and are applying broken logic

It can make sense when the project is small. The developer of a project can have a large voice and you might have to work with them. The massive growth of Lemmy and the federated nature makes the issue moot.

to a degree, lots of people stopped caring about linus's opinion on things shortly after compiling the kernel the first time. A more recent project i was on had its creator run out due to him being too controlling the PR list.

at the scale of the fediverse the attitude really does surprise me.
