cultural marxism
As someone who lost a friend to that rabbit hole, I really think we should put that far right conspiracy theory between quotation marks when named alongside things that actually exist. Communism and feminism are real (even if they are perceived as demonic by these people, they still at least exist). "Cultural marxism" doesn't even have entity, it's just bullshit entirely made up by the usual grifters
As someone who spent around half my life in IT and half in humanities, there's a lot less humanities content here than in Reddit or old Twitter. You might not notice it because you might have gravitated towards the IT side of those sites but it's noticeable here
Games of about 10hs from before 2019?
These are more recent but they should require very low specs:
There's technically not a single wrong word with your comment in my opinion. But, respectfully, don't you feel it reads as a bit condescending and admonishing? Especially when rereading the OP and then your comment in succession. The OP said they just wanted to vent a little here but then go on to barely vent at all: they just say they 'wanted to go into “fuck all men” mode' but didn't since they know it's not true or helpful. As I read it they just felt the (understandable) initial frustration but immediately worked through that feeling like an adult.
Hey, since you asked to share wins we've had in this regard:
Not a woman, but something that has occasionally worked for me is sharing this one article. It's called The magical thinking of guys who love logic.
It sometimes works with those guys that believe that men are inherently more logical than women like the one you mentioned. Though in my experience this article is most effective with atheist men and not so much with religious men, since it has a bit of a focus on criticizing a type of militant online atheism (a superficial type of atheism I might add and one that paradoxically reproduces a sort of puritan mindset masked under progressivism, much like TERFism, sex-negative "progressives" and some other current mindsets). It also works best if the guys on question are already a bit open to criticism (or at least like to pretend they are open-minded) since the article starts with a tone of criticizing right-wing ideologies.
Hope they are being looked after. Not all old people are saints and there's probably always a % that will take advantage of kids
I don't care about Reddit (or about growing Lemmy) as much as the average post I see in Lemmy, but if you wanted to migrate people from the former to the latter this is one of the easier ways to help do it. It's one of those small quality of life things that are asked for periodically. If Lemmy had it it'd be mentioned in Reddit every time people are pissed with the site (which is every day for most sites, including Reddit). It'd be free ~~mouth to mouth~~ word of mouth (being ESL is funny sometimes) publicity for Lemmy
Yes, I am. Why? Curiosity. You always see this question regarding what do Europeans find unusual about Americans and vice versa. I am curious to know about the opinions of my non-American, non-Europeans fellows. Our perspectives are not so common to find in websites like Lemmy.
Though a few minutes in I'm already seeing the post in the negatives so I'm assuming this one is sadly already dead.
The things that annoy me about some Lemmy users are the same things that annoyed me about some Reddit users (lots of frequently upvoted meme subs that don't work for me, posting ragebait, political compass subs, etc) and I'm dealing with them the exact same way I dealt with them at Reddit throughout 10 years: block and move on. The best thing about this type of forum is that you can heavily personalize your feed by filtering/blocking/muting and you'll still have some reasonably good quality content (which includes both your niches and the potential to discover either general or specific stuff you'll like) thanks to the upvote system.
I noticed this basically stopped happening once I made an effort to erradicate all ragebait content from my internet diet
What's your alternative?
EDIT: Oh I just found in the profile. It's Brave. I used it for half a year before I got tired of the crypto ads sneaking into my home page's links no matter how many times I deleted them and of some other stuff. I prefer Firefox's UI. Also I don't expect any browser to be 100% ethical but Brave is below Firefox in that list for me
I'm not an American so I'm not sure I understand. Wikipedia says voter turnout in 2016 was 59.2% of the voting-eligible population. Even if we count is a percentage of the voting-age population (i.e. including people with felonies or without citizenship or barred from voting for other reasons) it's still 54.8% voter turnout.
But that bar at the top of the graph makes it look like only around 15% voted.
Can someone explain?
