Well, you'd need to pay a very specific amount of attention to not notice the tankies from ML, but really notice and be bothered but people shunning ML because of the tankies. I guess it's possible, but it seems unlikely to be common

Same, I can't recommend lemmy to friends or coworkers because of this. Mastodon is much better at this

Sure, and anyone can walk into a nazi bar. But with threads like this being fairly common, and ML people behaving as they do, you have every chance to realise pretty quickly and leave

Hell, ML people are bad enough that I imagine a lot of sane people leave lemmy entirely, if they pick an instance that hasn't defederated ML yet. I'm looking at alternatives myself as getting associated with these types of people isn't a great idea, and the lemmy developers are part of the problem

Not everyone in a nazi bar is a nazi. Let's hear them out and give them the benefit of the doubt even though they could go to literally any bar, but keep going to the nazi bar

We had schools, teaching both about nazis and sex ed, because it's too important to leave up to whatever parent someone happened to get

People have been trying that for years without apparent success. Let's try shunning the antisocial people instead. We didn't defeat the nazis by being nice and friendly to them

Besides, journalists being on twitter is one large reason anyone cares about twitter. Getting people to care about a platform not owned by the first lady might be a good idea

They kinda do though... The worse it seems to be homeless, the more desperate people will be to keep their job and home.

It's certainly worse for most people, but you couldn't have an American system without it

But it did work.

France after the revolution, even when they backslid into having kings, had more rights for the people and less power for the king and church. The pre-revolution king had absolute power – the kings after the revolution had to contend with political parties and worry about not looking like he was trying to grab full power again. Napoleon might have been an emperor but he also set up a solid legal system that wasn't the arbitrary will of the king.

Around in europe, the revolution influenced the rise in liberal philosophy and democratic ideals. The french revolution wasn't the sole trigger of this of course, but it's commonly seen as a strong factor. It took a few hundred years but other countries either adapted over time or ended up with their own revolution like russia.

It wasn't a one clean blodless step from feudalism to modern democracy, but it was a step. They backslid, but they didn't backslide all the way back to the divine right of kings.

Messy as it was, it probably beats living with the divine right of kings forever.

Perhaps there's a more polite way to completely overhaul government, but it did work.

People should find a better foundation for self-esteem than hating linux distros. They're mostly ok, and without debian Linux wouldn't be what it is today

Preferring a certain distro is fine but why care if others like something else?

I hope the engineers get paid for their good work at least

Some exercise is extremely good for most people though, even disregarding keeping a healthy weight
