Weird for sure. Why do you keep on asking this question in different ways on different accounts? Are you trying to justify it? Is it a fetish?
Inquiring minds want to know!
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Hey man I get it. But at this point I don’t think there is any reason to think blahaj as an instance is bigoted in any way, and there is every reason to think they are quite the opposite.
I hope you feel better soon. Best we end this chat to reduce teams and increase healing.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
I understand. And I can see the ableism examples that you put forward.
Do you have any example of the Nazi takeover of blahaj? Or that they are bigoted towards bi men or non binary people? Like I want to give you the benefit of the doubt here, but I just see the opposite of what you are claiming.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
I do hang out with them a lot. A lot of my favorite communities are there. I see no Nazi tolerance at all there let alone “taking over” I also see none of this bigotry that you say is there. Contrarily, I see an active anti bigotry set of rules policies and guidelines in general.
I am willing to change my views on the instance but what you claim, I am just not seeing.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
That sounds not so nice. Is there an example out there or the like?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
No, but I’ve seen my fair share of concern trolling.
I am neither a bi man nor nonbinary and care, but I value my time.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
I’m sorry. I’m not on blahaj.
Bigotry towards bi men and non-binary folk seems very much not like them.
Are you a big man or non-binary person? If so I would be interested hearing what sort of discrimination you faced at blahaj. I recommend them quite a bit but would rather not if they are hateful in that way.

Yup! They work really hard to create a strong queer space. That means they work hard to exclude bigotry and the like, even in its micro aggression form.

Yahhhhh. It’s a rough situation to be a non tankie on a tankie instance.
The issue is that the great majority of users there have very “out there” opinions and more and more of them are trying to be more subtle about it.
Avg .ml user: Long winded post about why war is bad Avg responder: I agree war should be avoided for the harm it causes. Avg .ml user: Therefore we all must support Russia against the imperialist Ukrainians! Avg responder: Russia started the war. Why should we support them? Avg .ml user: Because NATO forced Russia to invade. In reality it was NATOs fault! Avg responder: I wasted my time here. No point in arguing.
The average non .ml user has been through this or seen this enough to be cautious of seemingly reasonable balanced arguments from .ml users.
I totally get staying, but personally if I woke up and my account was on .ml I would move.

Different policies and rules mostly. Lemmy.ml has a ton of weirdly pro Russia and China admins on it. Very tankie Stalinist. blahaj.zone Is really nicely queer friendly. dbzer0.com has a cool anarchist hacker culture etc.
For me the problem I have with lemmy.ml is that that if you disagree with Russia’s invasion on one news community you’ll find yourself banned from the Linux community.

It’s even crazier than that. It’s not even the electrons at the “leading edge” it’s the EM field they create along the entirety of the wires that actually bring the power.
And the follow-up with a physical experiment after the first video started a huge drama. youtu.be/oI_X2cMHNe0

We draw the line before both. Easy as.
No piercings before the child can understand the concept of piercings and agree to it.

Why? He was relatively contemporary and lived a pretty normal life relative to most of us compared to the historical figures.
That and he was a mega sexist who made the lives of women in science much worse for literal decades.

Will probably make the price go up. The whole reason why they do this crap is to get more money out of the consumer.

You do you. But I challenge you to go and look at gun prices at your local Walmart in the USA. Not every guy you buy has to be an FN-Scar 17 in pricing.
Turn around a look at how much it costs to defend yourself criminally in the USA.
Guns are about $200 at Walmart.
Robust criminal defense is about 30-40 hours.
Also good luck selling a gun you don’t have in your possession. Try going to a gun shop and saying “give me the cash now, I promise to give you the gun when the police give it back to me”
We do agree that you should be responsible for your actions. But looking at the meme here nothing wrong was done.
- Comment on Anon breaks up 8 months ago:
I mean they already own the guns. They can’t even sell them to hire a lawyer because they were taken.
If you can’t see the difference between buying one gun every x months and paying a lawyer 4 to 5 figures all in one go that’s on you.
Time is linear and you can’t sell what was taken from you. 🤷♀️
- Comment on Anon breaks up 8 months ago:
I mean you can buy a gun for 200 USD at Walmart. Lawyers cost 200 USD per hour.
- Comment on Emma Watson banned from driving for speeding 8 months ago:
I don’t own a car. I just maintain a drivers license for rare cases when I need to go to a place where public transport does not reach.
I just went through the education and have the practical experience regarding driving.
I don’t think this angry approach is the best way to go forward here. Action and advocacy will beat out internet anger all day.
Advocate for and use public transport at you local level.
- Comment on Emma Watson banned from driving for speeding 8 months ago:
I suspect you might be telling on yourself here as someone who didn’t drive.
People who go through car education and actually drive learn about system tolerances. Speedometers can be off by up to 10% and radar guns can be off by about the same.
If you actually drive and use cruise control set to 30 and go up a hill to a level section of road, the cruise control will likely bring you up to 33 before it reacts the reduced power needs and brings you down to 30 again.
Cars in real life are not exactly like they are in video games.

After you edited it, it is more clear now. You should have phrased it that way to begin with.
- Comment on The UK Stop Killing Games petition has reached 100.000 signatures 8 months ago:
Because saving video games and stopping the killing of children are mutually exclusive???
- Comment on Anon has been bullied 9 months ago:
Those only really work for American style up down windows. In Germany and most eu countries a different style are used. They are hinged on both the bottom and the side and you can choose which set of hinges to use. Very useful but not compatible with American style window AC units. If you google for “German window” you’ll see the memes.
- Comment on Anon likes trains 9 months ago:
We’re taking about high speed trains here. Independent of that, regarding attacks on commuter trains getting over it without American style tsa is a good thing.
- Comment on Anon likes trains 9 months ago:
I never predicted 9/11 security theater. That was someone else. I was saying the opposite. It isn’t needed and won’t happen.
- Comment on Anon likes trains 9 months ago:
Commuter trains aren’t high speed trains though.
- Comment on Anon likes trains 9 months ago:
Those are dense packed commuter trains from more than 20 years ago. Sort of the opposite of comfortable long distance trains now days.
If you search for “bomb train” you’ll get results but it might be worth looking deeper than the headline.
- Comment on Anon likes trains 9 months ago:
Ok. Thinking explosives. Where are high speed trains being attacked by explosives? I don’t hear much in Germany, France, China, or Japan.
- Comment on Anon likes trains 9 months ago:
What are you going to do with a hijacked train? The moment you hijack it they’ll just shutdown power. Hostages? Good luck there are like 30 carts on the train all of which have window break tools and emergency door open tools.
Look at Germany or France. High speed trains are everywhere and there is no ID requirement beyond maybe a ticket check if you’re unlucky.

That makes sense. Lol.
- Comment on Anon uses Windows 11 months ago:
What? Windows 7 was probably the best version of windows ever.
Windows 8 was where the cliff was.
People look back at XP through rose tinted glasses. It was incredibly insecure in every way. Vista made the security architecture changes needed. Windows 7 was polish on top.
