Lemmy has a weird issue with being super restrictive of ableist language, beyond reasonable, in some spaces and completely ambivalent in others.
I had someone say I was as useless as accessibility kitchen items, which mostly just means I'm extremely useful to specific people and viewed as a joke by intolerant people who don't care about others...
Weirdly good compliment. Really telling in the idiot using it.
Lemmy in general is divided into 3 major subsections: liberals, Marxist-Leninists, and anarchists. The Marxist-Leninists and anarchists tend to be far stricter about ableism than the liberals.
Yeah that about sums it up. I wonder why the Anarchists do it.
Anarchists are to liberalism as libertarians are to Republicans.
Every so often you'll run into one that is serious and intellectually rigorous to the ideals they profess, but most of them are simply (liberals/republicans) but also want to be cool.
Anarchism isn't typically "fuck rules, do what you want."
It can be, though, if you're smart about it.
