  • I'm not sure if I've properly explored the idea, but a specific "digital culture" would help a lot. Inside jokes, ways of speaking, emojis, memes, etc. really help an instance to distinguish itself from others.

    The best example is Hexbear (ik but just hear me out for a second). Their culture is borrowed from the edgier side of the leftist internet, but they still have a style of their own. They were so recogniseable even, that a user claimed to be scared of seeing pronouns next to someone's username because they knew it would be a comment from Hexbear (they used to be the only instance with such features, before others followed suit).

    I have a hypothesis that a good amount of issolation, or at least encouraging users to only post on communities on your instance, would be good for developping some kind of culture, maybe even kinship between them.

  • yes!

  • Outward, their genitals might look like those of the oposite sex.

  • the point is that it doesn't matter, since most people are on lemmy.world anyways

  • beaten to death with a hoe

  • i was wondering if it was possible lol

  • bar low

  • The new FE is going to be in rust though

  • Fun fact! Lemmy is made in Rust!

  • usually when the best friend does that, it's because the crush voiced discomfort about you to their best friend

  • Tbf I think it takes just a little web litteracy to understand the fediverse. I know I'm a developper, so I tried explaining it to my bro and he got it on the first try.

  • That's how I first interpreted the lyrics lmao

  • In Canada, we have a conservative named Pierre Poilievre that makes nonsensical catch phrases like that every month or so. Kinda reminds me of that

  • This post is taken out of context. The OP is asking for conservatives to elaborate on why they hate DEI, specifically the diversity, equity and inclusive parts respectivly

  • I read your post, so don't take my short response as me not reading through it or understanding your point.

    But that user clearly passed the point where I could ever give them the benefit of the doubt. They're using a clear right wing dogwhistle, and I don't think they're asking it innocently. I don't think they used the keyboard thing as a pretext, but that the question they asked goes above the keyboard thing and reveals how they think about "being censored".

  • **Nope

    The entire fediverse is built on censorship of thought and opinion because no server is allowed to join the fediverse that allows posts criticizing transgenderism.

    This is a reply I recieved from them. Unless your instance allows transphobia, then maybe yeah, I was wrong, you wouldn't "censor" them. Or maybe you're gonna pretend that "criticizing transgenderism" isn't some obvious dogwhistle, and I hope not.

    It was obvious they weren't just talking about your typical "lemmy.ml is censoring me" post. They also mentionned mastodon censoring them, which to me is a pretty red flag, since mastodon is not usually known for this behavior unless you're right wing adjacent.

    Edit: Fine I'll try spelling it out. If their question was about the lemmy modlog in the keyboard post, why wasn't it mentionned once or given as an example? Why was Mastodon mentioned and why were they giving "transgenderism" as an example?
