Forumverse makes the most sense but it really doesn’t roll of the tounge.

Hence I prefer Lemmyverse or Threadiverse.

This is one of those things that everyone understands. Like “nauseous” may not be accepted as English by some upper class conservatives in charge of writing dictionaries, but to the rest of us it’s understood and frequently used.

A language is a tool to communicate, not a bunch of rules.

It’s this same grammar nazi logic that leads to dialects spoken by middle class and rich white people to be the “correct” one while those spoken by black people and lower class white people are seen as “incorrect”.

Pea cheese, just what I need

People buy bikes and don’t just repair old abandoned ones?

I don’t agree with this particular usecase. Because I’ve personally experienced, people who shun “negativity” meaning they just completely ignore people’s suffering which often adds a devastating layer of invisibility to oppression. But probably hopefully this isn’t your case and it’s more about “doom and gloom” than people’s reality of suffering.

But anyways, I do agree that blocklists are probably a feature that lemmy needs.

I think it’s also easy to misinterpret something on one post. A lot of times something that looked bigoted or dodgy opinion was just poorly done sarcasm or something.

There is a voyager frontend on web. But I think it’s only a mobile view https://vger.app/posts/lemm.ee/all

Also, voyager lets you tag users which is a godsend.

If I notice someone who is unnecessarily rude, dodgy opinions, bigoted or something, I add a tag, and if I see it is constant repetitive behaviour, I’ll block them.

Lemmy,blahaj,zone is run by Ada, who is a woman

Okay. I see what happened lol. Someone who is instance banned from my instance first posted it on this community. Then someone crossposted to another community. Since the OP was instance banned, for me the crosspost read as the OP, and then I crossposted it to the community it was originally posted in 😭.

(This is the ugly side of federation).

You are literally linking to the post I crossposted.

Do some lemmy clients not distinguish crossposts?

Edit: I’m wrong, see comments below.

Many is overstating it.

They defederated from World and Sh.itjust.works.

Misandry? I’m a man and feel fine on Blahaj.

A lot of people on blahaj are feminine men, or transfem, that may make you feel uncomfortable if you’re an old school “men will be men” patriarchal type person, but generally it’s a great crowd to be surrounded by.

I’ve seen far more misogyny on LW than misandry anywhere on lemmy.

Lemmy.Blahaj.Zone (since it has downvotes disabled) and being mindful of the communities I subscribe to really helps.

On lemmy.world you won’t see beehaw communities which are much chiller. blahaj lets you see beehaw communities.

Trump is speedrunning to aim for the lowest biodiversity index in North America.

Maybe if we stop ridiculously subisidising corn everywhere, some that gets thrown away because we have way too much, we could replace a couple dozen sq km of corn fields with more sustainable agroforestry, and thereby massively increase our logging output, instead of yk, cutting down the last wildlife sanctuaries? Not holding my breath tho.

I love this.

I think it’s important to say this doesn’t mean pretending you like or agree with something you don’t like or agree with.

But when you do see something you like, agree with, or appreciate, drop a compliment. Compliments make places better!

(I think Canadian representation really expanded a lot, and European too, after Trump got elected and Reddit started sucking elon’s dick)

Less than Reddit, but still a fuckload.

I mean I guess the people who spend their times on english speaking internet forums has a large chunk americans, you know, given the US population is 300+ million, while Canada, Australia, New Zeland, Ireland and Britain don’t even make half the US population when added together.

“In fact, not only does the market assessment of the value of different forms of work not correspond to popular conceptions of what they actually contribute to society, but there actually seems to be an inverse relation: with few exceptions, the principle seems to be, the more one’s work is seen as socially useful, the more it is recognized as helping others, the less one is likely to be paid for it.”
