English people acc know how to think for themselves, we criticise our politicians regardless of what parties we vote for and form our own opinions rather than follow the rhetoric of one of two absolutely dogshit parties.
Why does everyone still care so much about what Reddit does?
i think people were getting permabanned for the slightest indiscretion, or even the current reddit anti-luigi campaign.
So, again… who cares? It’s Reddit.
I’m not trying to be argumentative at all, I’m genuinely asking why does anyone care that Reddit is turning full-fascist?
Was everyone not aware this was the direction they were going in?
Remember the last exodus? We talked about reddit a lot for a bit.
Now new people are coming and this is a good thing. Let them get it out of their system.
Fair enough. That makes sense.
I’m about at my wits end with Reddit as a regular user. I have 2 accounts that I’ve used there for a while. One of them is my main user account, the other I use mostly to mod some subs.
My main account recently caught a 7 day ban because of their stupid new “Violence” bullshit. It’s so targeted, and blatantly obvious that it really only applies to comments about certain things. They removed the comment that supposedly triggered it, but all I was was
Hey Leon, you remember when you hit the cybertruck with a baseball bat? Why don’t you go fuck yourself with it.
That’s it, that’s all I said. You could post that same comment directed at an actual Reddit user, and not catch a ban.
Don’t misunderstand me here. I am not now, nor have a I ever been under the delusion that Reddit was the bastion of free speech they tried to claim for years. But seriously, they need to get their fucking heads out of their fucking asses.
Fuck reddit.
Hell yeah brother.
Hey, how about we leave the needless gendering of everything on reddit maybe? Gentle reminder that not everything needs to be gendered and (especially on Lemmy) there are lots of folks who might be put off in some way by this, because it feels very much (at least to me) like something (particularly white cishet) dudes say to each other and not something that applies to folks of all genders and communities, like "friend" for example. Not trying to imply that you are any of those things (even someone who is okay being called dude, I'm not calling you that, intending to be giving a vibe on the statement without judging you) just that that's what I think of when I see that and I wouldn't necessarily mind if someone said it to me (especially in person; I'm currently masc presenting at the least, not sure yet where I actually land) but thinking of others who might feels like something that happens on Lemmy that differentiates the community at large from reddit. Not saying it's always like that, check my recent comments if you want to see examples of how some folks are def still trolling here, but it's better and I hope we can continue to wear that diversity and respect as a badge of honor sort of.
Sorry dude, these are commonly used expressions for like the last 60 years man. Why don't you just enjoy the wide range of words used to communicate between humans friend? The history of our language. Hell ya brother should be read in the voice of Macho Man Randy savage. It adds some flair to the words when the reader understands the context.
We should try to celebrate diversity instead of enforce conformity. Especially when it comes to communicating and language.
enforce conformity
I don't see where I said I would like to enforce anything, please point out exactly what you're referring to. [1]
We should try to celebrate diversity
Yeah, that's what I said too, when I was explaining in a very clear and solutions focused way to someone else the ways they can, you know, actually do that by respecting folks who may feel left out when it's so common to assume everyone is a man behind a computer, which is the opposite of "celebrating diversity".
dude
man
This feels intentionally (and unnecessarily) disrespectful after I just made it clear I do not think that type of language is inclusive to everyone.
should
Why don't you just enjoy
We should
Please don't talk to me that way. I'm very happy with my life and don't need to be told what to do or enjoy.
It adds some flair
Nothing wrong with flair.
when the reader understands the context
Yeah that's the problem. Not every reader will immediately understand that context, and if they don't, in this example specifically just for a hypothetical, say because they're gen-z (too young to get the ref) or autistic (more direct communication is better understood) or something, they may think this is just some place where everyone assumes everyone else is a man or a dude, like reddit.
The history of our language.

ETA: Footnotes since y'all are so intent on misunderstanding:
With the rise of authoritarianism, I feel like this is the exact kind of behavior that pushed enough people to the far right to get trump elected.
Did you ever stop and wonder if you put these tireless crusades down perhaps we wouldn't all be threatened by our own government right now?
