Thanks for sharing, I’ll check out XMPP too - last time I checked was 10 years ago :D probably a lot has changed

Alright, doesn’t mean it didn’t lower your attention span. Just that you’re less bored :D

PC was used correctly too. Doesn’t word “woke” mean two diff iterent things to users supporting that and opposing? To these opposing it’s more clearly represented as “wokeism”, almost a religion that demands you obey it’s rules or be treated like a religious one heathen (as religions often do). To supporters it’s like you said - closer to “being aware of and concerned about social issues”.

Yeah, there’s nothing said about being against in the comment you’re replying to. Just that changing the term to woke is not necessarily bad. Where did you take that from?

Why the switch to XMPP btw?

How did you come to conclusion they weren’t (mostly) correct? The average attention span is getting shorter every generation, maybe they were right all along ;)

You’re proposing the progressive crowd to be more radical - do you have any views/proposed solution for people that do not see your way and are unlikely to - e.g. radical pro-life people (that tend to stick with right side on economic/education policies as, well, their world view doesn’t fit good with the left… even if some would gladly vote for more progressive economic policies).

So in your “ideal” scenario, which is it: a) No place for them in academia? I.e. force your will b) Let states decide? E.g. California implements some vanguard radical DEI policies while eg. Texas/whatever does it’s own thing and migration/ratings do the job. c) something else?

Probably to underscore it is not widely known - same as one might say something like that in an actual conversation even if not asked “do you know X” before.

Thank you! Yeah I guessed the text was modified but the screen looked familiar, I could not remember what it was from, though :)

Thank you!

Ah okay, thank you for explanation! Also I (wrongly) thought they are from US - thanks again :)
