My first comment in the federation was met with ‘I know what you mean’. My last comment was met with a ‘stfu snowflake’. It sure didn’t take long for this awesome alternative to go from community to battlefield. Next stop - karma farming. I hated joining the conversation reddit for these reasons. I guess I’ll be lurking again.
So let me expand on this. I, myself, am not ‘sensitive’. However, I am keenly aware that the weaker in faith may be.
There exists (on both sides) a host of those who have no ability to lead with love - and resort to ruling with the rod.
Get some perspective. The people who do horrific things in the name of (insert god’s name here) are just the proverbial ‘wolves in sheep’s clothing’. Attack the awful person(s) - not the faith that they attempt to shame.
Giving people a taste of their own medicine is an aggressive approach. I was just suggesting that if you want dialogue - and not dumpster fire - be respectful to each other.

There is is a difference between being edgy and...whatever that name is an attempt to project. I love people. All people. Couldn’t give a rat’s ass if you want to cross dress or sleep with your own gender. So, how about we drop the attempts to make a name for ourselves -with the intention of getting under people’s skin. Google did the right thing here, IMHO.
My first thought was that this ould make a nice interlude piece for NPR’s Morning Edition.
Well done. All 3 of you. I personally would never have pulled that off at ‘the place we never mention.’
I am currently enjoying some excellent user content courtesy of Mastodon, Lemmy, kbin, and Squabbles. Is something going on at Reddit?
I spent some time on mastodon, squabbles, kbin and vlemmy today subscribing.. it helped seeing many of the same communities in them. I’m 60.. so I know younger minds are nimble enough to make themselves comfortable elsewhere.
What I’m interested in seeing is if others are committed and tenacious enough to stand their ground - outside of Reddit. One thing I’ve learned as I’ve gotten older.. things change, and sometimes fighting over turf leaves the winner a ruined playground with bad memories for everybody.
