Well yes, it goes without saying that if you have a specific autoimmune disease to something, it will be bad, regardless of their general tolerability
I mean, it was the early 80s
There has been a bunch of media that warranted legitimate disdain, however the anti-woke angle was the biggest focus
Don’t worry, they are plenty capable of being mad at both
Huh? Leela! Leela. So it’s you I’ve been attracted to. Oh, God, I’ve never been so happy to be beaten up by a woman.
There is an old man in my building, who got into video games about 10 years ago, when his wife died. When I first moved in I played games with him fairly often. After I knew him about a year, he exposed himself as racist. So I just faded away from interacting with him, too old to bother lecturing, so I just stopped socializing with him. I do see him around, and we make small talk, in the halls, elevator, etc.
Anyway, now that you have context, I ran into him in the elevator when Shadows first came out. He said he had been playing it, and asked if I had. I said I didn’t then told him I was a little surprised he bothered with it. He said “Cause you play a colored samurai?” I said that I figured it wouldn’t be his thing, a lot of people didn’t like the idea. He replied “He was a real person, though” I told him a lot of people were mad about it, he said “it’s just a game”. So, if a racist, 83 year old, man didn’t see the issue here, these people have to be seeking things to be mad about. He doesn’t do much online though. Only social media he does is look at FB when his kids tell him they posted new pics of the grand kids, or whatever. This is purely a symptom of being terminally online.
It isn’t though. The mod tools for lemmy are super primitive compared to the moderation tool suites that exist for reddit. These subs live because they have these in-depth mod tools. Tight, on point, moderation is key to keeping these places one topic, and of quality. Also, we don’t have the user base. While I guarantee there are a decent amount of subject experts on lemmy, I have seen them myself, you need enough to be posting/dealing with posts multiple times a day, in any given subject. So, not only do you have to have a body of expertise large enough to cover the topics, and rate of posts, you have to keep in mind these people also have to want to do this. Most people like that don’t want to add that amount of extra work, and stress, to their lives.
Unfortunately I stopped going to reddit for sports info before I left. I just kept running into increasingly toxic people, over what is such a low stakes subject. It wasn’t just reddit, I also gave up on televised sports because watching sports feels like I am watching ads that are occasionally broken up by bumps of sports. Even friends who are WAY more into sports have pretty much given up on watching them. Also, the way that sports is handled across streaming platforms I find enraging.
I think it is less that, and more that establishing a large enough body of experts requires a very large audience to pull from, and on top of that it took years, and lots of work, to get them established, and working correctly, so it will be very difficult to move.
I did choose this over reddit. I just wish there was something like that that wasn’t reddit. Maybe some day.
The only thing I miss about reddit are the large, academic subject specific subs, that tightly moderate their subs to make sure that as many of the posts/answers are from accredited people, or that the post seems to check out when they look the subject up. r/askhistorians for example.
Don’t lie to them, now. We all know they need to get it tattooed
correct, a lot of “traditional” methods people think are possibly ancient, are like 150 years old. Some areas are culturally diverse to the point where they are basically a completely different culture, in comparison.
Yeah, Italian chef friend of mine once said that you use garlic, or onions, rarely both, in authentic italian food. Unless you are from one of the many places where they always use both.
