  • Same. I think the initial outburst was understandable, but at some point I think it's better to correct the record with facts and truths. Else we just shout into echo chambers as interlocutors block each other, further insulating and isolating society.

  • While I think the initial style of attack by OC was warranted given the content matter, I do agree with you. At some point there needs to be a check to see if the interlocutor has good faith or not, and if so, to offer education and try to dispel myths or lies.

  • Bro... Not historical Nazis? You mean the ones that committed the most despicable evils in all of humanity's written history?

    No. All Nazis can be grouped together and judged the same, not as individuals. They lost that right as soon as they started being intolerant.

  • Oh you're asking if she could relatively conceive of what life would be like without her in it, especially to her family and friends. If she had that level of mindfulness and could pre-meditate the consequences.

    I mean, she was 11. And even fully grown adults can barely know what the consequences of their actions will be, so I doubt this was ever something considered.

    It was probably a combination of short-term pain felt by herself and shame felt towards her family that led to the breaking point. Makes me dissociate just thinking about this story

  • Hi! First time posting on Lemmy actually.

    I've changed the headline. Can I leave my blurb about it too, or do I need to delete that and pull straight from the article?

  • Are a lot of people covering this already on Lemmy? My bad, I should've checked. I think Hasan is great and I just wanted to share a good article about him that tries not to slander him one way or another

  • I love that movie!!!

  • See, I learned this in Spanish class in my American high school, and I don't think that linguistic fact stuck with me! Thanks

  • Having the ability to export your account data (say to a CSV) might be useful for this reason.

    If you want to move to a new instance, you can pack your bags and head out.

    You can probably imagine how this won't be a 1:1 transition, however, because the new instance might not have the same communities as the old instance. I commented on another thread about how it would be cool if Lemmy took your communities list, looked at how those communities federate for instance (or just do a word search on the new instance with names of the communities of the old instance), and serve you suggested new communities to subscribe to.

    And if you can export your data, then there's no need to store it in a centralized way to make these types of actions doable, which favors privacy.

  • And it's not like exporting your subs to a CSV file or something to then upload to your new account on your new instance will work. Different instances will have different communities, so it won't be a 1:1 transition.

    I can definitely see the friction for new users if this happens.

    We all know people are lazy, so if the friction proposed by Lemmy is more of a burden compared to the inconvenience proposed by Reddit or another social media platform, then people won't change.

    It would be interesting if there could be some tool that proposes similar communities on the instance you're joining based on the communities you were subscribed to in your previous instance. Community federation could allow for that linked list that could be reverse searched and served to a user, precluded by uploading a CSV file of your previous communities so you don't have to keep track of individual users in a server somewhere (which is anti-privacy anyways, and Lemmy imho is pro-privacy).

  • Welcome to Lemmy where, in theory, you have much more control over who censors your opinions!

  • Welcome back

  • Fucking fascinating. Thanks for the share

  • Would hydrothermal vents produce enough heat? Or would the oceans freeze over? And then would there just be thermal bubbles surrounding the vents in oceanic ice?

  • I love AOC. I'd vote for her in a heartbeat in primary and general elections. Now, whether she makes it to the general depends on the DNC, and I have no faith that the political consultant/establishment class will let anything remotely progressive through. No money to be made.

    I guess the only way forward would be to vote for her in the primaries to such a degree that the Dems have not choice but to confirm her through.

  • Welcome! If you have any questions about the fediverse or piracy in general, feel free to post or shoot the community some questions in this thread. We're glad you made the switch!!!

  • Wow, it's almost as if words have meaning. Does this mean we should take the word democracy out of the current American government and replace it with fascism since that's what it is? NO MORE FASCIST GOVERNMENT WITH THE WORD DEMOCRATIC IN IT.

    This is the level of stupidity of this comment.
