My argument is you can't tell the demographic identity of ANY person who posts on lemmy. Even when they supposedly self-identify.

Again, what you're saying here is radically different than what OP is saying in the 4 points they posted. There was nothing limiting it to "on discussions about being black".

Again, total nonsense. I'll repeat exactly what i said in one of the comments you deleted, and YOU can tell me why it's wrong. On lemmy there's no way to know what race/gender/sexuality a person is. So, you tell me, how is any of this stuff applicable here? If OP was just talking about mastodon, then their title is completely wrong.

Absolute nonsense. The comments you removed weren't saying anything wrong. They were discussing why the OPs draft is unworkable.
- Comment on 4 things white people can do to start making the fediverse less toxic for Black people (DRAFT!) 3 months ago:
That doesn't apply to online forums. There is LITERALLY no way to determine someone's race from what they write. Unless you're suggesting we open every discussion by asking what a person's race is before we start talking to them? Better yet we can skip that and simply put demographic badges next to people's username, like a yellow star for Jewish people, a pink triangle for homosexuals, and... hm, that sounds familiar, where has that happened before?
- Comment on What is the secret to making LED light bulbs last as long as the package says? 3 months ago:
My oldest LED is about 7 years old at this point, so that makes sense
- Comment on What is the secret to making LED light bulbs last as long as the package says? 3 months ago:
I've never had to replace an LED bulb, ever. They last forever if there isn't a problem with your installation, like poor electrical wiring or poor ventilation

Seriously. Just because he didn't know the type of gun doesn't mean it was a threat. It sounds like he was just saying "just fyi there's a gun out", because lots of people will freak the fuck out if they see a gun.

I'm far from an expert on this, but I would guess the safety of being outdoors heavily depends on additional factors, like for example wind direction and speed.

A very fit athletic person who has done endurance training can do 30 miles in a day, but that's not typical. Most people could do around 10+ if their life literally depended on it like in the aftermath of a nuke
