  • bit of a sanctimonious comment, fascism feels like a perfectly fair line for the early and late majorities to draw. it takes a lot of energy to move half a billion people—that doesn’t make the early exiters morally better, just better positioned and informed.

  • Again, the #1 reason I gave was corporate social media taking down uncensored posts. What’s even less accessible than a censored post? A post that doesn’t exist because it gets the user banned.

    I appreciate your commitment to accessibility, but posting image macros without alt text (the norm for most meme communities) isn’t accessible to screen readers either. If you are going to get judgy at this post you have to have beef with 99% of meme culture that doesn’t ever provide image transcriptions either, asterisks or no.

    Or you could let people have fun online. 🙄

    1. platforms such as instagram and pinterest (where these types of memes are very commonly posted) have OCR capabilities and will restrict posts that contain certain language
    2. some people choose to “defang” their language intentionally, especially when joking, in order to make it clear that the word isn’t used with derogatory intent
    3. using asterisks to c*nsor words is common in ironic posting, increasing the satirical value of the post.

    we have had partial self censorship in media for decades now. no clue why people get so uptight when it happens on the internet.

  • good on you for sticking to your values. sorry this platform is a r/atheism circle jerk even when you speak out against violence and hate from your own personal framework. don’t let them radicalize you; keep standing up for justice and dignity.

  • Why do you pay for gas? The world is ending due to fossil fuels.

    If you do, why do you buy bottled water or cheap supermarket chocolate? Communities are being deprived and destroyed by companies like Nestle.

    If you do, why do you own a laptop/phone? When it breaks, why do you plan to get a new one? That technology was developed off the backs of child labor.

    If you pay for Spotify or similar, do you realize that those platforms often exploit and underpay the very artists you enjoy, ethical artists or not?

    If you’re an American who pays taxes, some of that money has gone to fund a genocide and decades of warmongering. Maybe you should give up paying taxes…

    Much to think about! 🙂

  • Thanks for your question! It’s a good one.

    Short answer: I don’t

    Long answer: @MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca explains it super well so I won’t rewrite their excellent comment: https://lemmy.cafe/post/10463918/8811775

    Parallel example but chronically fandom answer: Swift has also made a lot of really shitty decisions regarding relationships that I strongly dislike, including dating freak weirdo misogynist Matty Healy. 🫤 I don’t think we could ever be friends, or whatever, because of these flaws to her character. I don’t try to reconcile her flaws at all. I just like most of her music a lot and keep myself honest about the rest of it. 🤷‍♀️

  • Yes. It would be quite a task to do, and certainly couldn’t be done instantly or perfectly in short time. Nonetheless she and other artists should start trying. Coldplay is getting pretty based with their environmental stuff, they should work together or something.

  • In the face of exploitative capital, blaming the consumer is on the same tier of nonsensical rhetoric as victim blaming.

    It’s not the fault of people buying bottled water for Nestle’s human rights violations, nor is it the fans’ fault that Swift’s business model is exploitative and nonethical.
