  • The nazis were huge into symbolism, especially runes and symbols of the supposed aryan people. That particular deaths head is so iconic as a symbol of the SS its display is banned in multiple countries.

  • Are you deliberately ignoring everyone trying to explain what "believe women" actually means in context of how society currently treats women.

    You haven't responded to that at all, and that has been my point since starting this conversation. Again, that believing women does not mean punishing men. I'm not going to restate every point you've conveniently ignored because you're so dead-set on equating vigilante justice with support.

    This debate is done. Enjoy the last word if you want it.

  • What does this have anything to do with your "counter example" of a dude getting murdered compared to a dude losing the chance at becoming a senator? The thing I said was a bad argument? The main point I was arguing against?

    You're all over the place here.

  • I know what an absolute statement is. I also understand that "believe women" does not mean "punish men."

    Believing an accusation is credible is exactly why we examine the evidence and eventually go to a court of law.

    Unfortunately, the court of law is not the arbiter of truth. If you weren't paying attention to the entire #metoo movement, or maybe don't believe women, I expect we are done here.

  • I don't know who you're making that argument against, but it's not me.

    There's a big difference between "believe women," a statement that evolved in a world where women are subject to embarassing exams, intense scrutiny and backlash all for a minimal chance their attackers might face justice, and "kill everyone a woman accuses."

    Believing women means supporting women who make credible accusations, especially ones backed by evidence, in a world where doing so carries a litany of repurcussions.

    Your counter example doesn't fit the context, it's saying "if you believe this then you think this guy should have died." No one is saying that. Stop making a terrible argument.

  • Are you comparing a guy losing a very cushy, influencial job to getting murdered?

  • Do you block accounts that post with very high frequency?

    Jump

  • Only a few obvious bots because they were filling up my feed. I like seeing posts from users, especially when it comes to news.

    Native americans had slaves?

    Jump

  • I can't begin to parse that quote.

    But yeah, slavery was a thing in a lot of cultures, including among some indigenous peoples of the Americas.

  • One thing I think Lemmy is missing: recurring community events

    Jump

  • I try to run discussions and challenges in some of my communities, the problems are just me getting busy and general forgetfulness.

    The womens stuff community does a great job of keeping people engaged with daily topics and weekly chat threads, which other communities could take notes from.

    Beyond that, better mod tools, public calendars to schedule events and puzzles would be great for larger communities.

    Personally, I think Lemmy needs more 'best of' posts, or maybe just awareness of the best-of communities, to encourage engagement and showcase the community.

  • I run a few coms so I notice the pedantic people, too. But on the whole I find most of the people I interact with to be pleasant and informative. For the rest, as long as they're not being openly bigoted or hostile, I try to remember that I can't tell tone from text.

    I enjoy being here. One of the reasons I chose my instance was to be able to see everything and tailor my feed to suit me, so I accept I'm going to see everything.

  • Wait, you're blaming someone for telling the obviously sexist dude to leave the women's only community, when the guy keeps responding with more sexist bullshit?

    edit: And now you've banned Velma from your community for disagreeing with you here. I've never seen a better example of a problem with lemmy.
