  • An example of an opinion that would get censored on some Lemmy instances:

    China's authoritarian government is unethical and worse than America, even under Trump

    An example of an opinion that would get censored on some mainstream platforms:

    Luigi was right, we should kill billionaires

    Both should be allowed

  • I agree with you, it's sad to see how people are so happy to censor opinions they disagree with when they're in power, while ignoring that if their opinions get censored when they're not in power they (rightfully) get miffed. Free speech should apply to everyone so people can decide for themselves what they believe and they can challenge authority.

  • Better for what? lemm.ee has had less controversies and is federated with more instances

  • I have read Asimov, but I didn't think it was what inspired the question. If it had to be any SciFi novel, it's more likely to be Singularity Sky

  • Active communities for niche topics, like His Dark Materials, or Would You Rather, and the poll feature, which I used extensively. Yes, I know you can link to external platforms, but integrating it into the post was much nicer.

  • Is it true people are scared to criticise the CCP?

  • Was taught Hebrew as a child, and learnt to count in Latin just out of interest

  • English, Swedish, French, Hebrew, Latin

  • Yes, even though they were religious they told me all about sex when I asked, including sex for pleasure and gay sex

  • AOL: Absent, on leave

  • FTP: free to play, file transfer protocol

    SRS: Serious, sex reassignment surgery, social responsiveness scale, etc

    LOL: laugh out loud, lots of love, loot or lie

  • Sorry, can't read PoE as anything besides Permit Office Enforcement

  • My dad was in a conversation that turned to talking about peas (for some reason), and the quality of something being pea like, and called it pea-ness. We only noticed when he paused, and said 'no, not like that!'

  • The wolves of wall street?

  • Most of those seem to be white men, yes, although Zuko also fits into the second category of 'destined to join the protagonists'. I would also add Aaravos and that other guy from The Dragon Prince

  • I don't watch live action shows much, but in animated shows the antagonists seem to usually be cishet white men, unless they're destined to join the protagonists, in which case they can be diverse.

  • Can I have those other bookmarks please? :)

    Or maybe there's an app to do it locally...

  • Thanks!

  • Can I have a link to the actual article/paper?
