Bandcamp is still OK for me and I listen to some fairly obscure stuff.
Just to offer a heads up - there's a new solution/site which is currently in Beta but is backed by good people (musicians). It needs an influx of music diversity (lots of metal at the moment) but if it gets that when it comes out of beta then it could very well be a good Bandcamp replacament - Ampwall
It is worth noting though, that Proton doesn't allow you to use certain domains for recovery addresses. Admittedly this was awhile ago and maybe things have changed there but when I first joined Proton they wouldn't allow me to set a duck.com or simplelogin.com or addy.io address as a recovery email.
Obviously using an apple ID is stupid but Proton could make more of an effort too.
There was a news article a day or two ago about a pensioner vandalising a statue of Thatcher. I feel the same way about this act as I did that - good on the perpetrator.
Unless a work of art is housed somewhere meant to cause reflection on all the actions a person took in their full context which includes making clear the problematic acts of the subject, they shouldn't be somewhere clearly meant to commemorate them. And if they are, then they're fair game.
More like fascist-adjacent. And we started the process of underdeveloping ourselves when the fascist-adjacent leaders persuaded the terminally ignorant that Brexit would be great when it was obvious it was going to lead exactly where it is leading right now.
I try to ease up on the c word when I think I might be replying to an American because I'm aware it has pretty hideous connotations over there.
There might be no benefit to you but the people who would be the direct targets of every hate group like LibsOfTikTok currently active on Threads probably feel a bit differently.
This is in no way a knee-jerk reaction to a hypothetical alarm. Meta have directly contributed to a genocide and allow hate groups to grow unchecked on Threads. It blows my mind that the fediverse - itself built as a series of alternatives to shitty companies doing shitty things - thinks the harm Meta will do is hypothetical and unproven.
The benefits to not federating are many, but the best one, in my opinion, is not exposing current fediverse users who will be targeted to those who will target them.
And the part you left out - just before the 'victim created an incident', the male called her a n-word - twice - , then pushed her hard.
TIL 1 beer == alcoholism
I believe they do, yes. It's done to out anti-trans people, making them easy to spot as they complain loudly about being forced to.
Musk: "Scumbags of the world are welcome on my platforms!"
Also Musk: "Let me put this device in your brain."
This is a temporary reprieve rather than a victory. The wording of the bill hasn't changed, they've simply added the statement that what they want to do isn't technically possible yet but when it is, this'll be revived.
They are not TST-affiliated, more like an old style LaVeyan group.
The Satanic org I'm a member of also have a Chilean Order and I know the two orgs have talked but their LaVeyan-ism (i.e. libertarian/Ayn Rand type of Objectivism) doesn't really align with us.
