I wonder why she thought Russia was free of racism ... the article didn't really cover that, other than suggesting Russia state media pushing the narrative could be an explanation πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

maybe we could give them allergy shots? in the form of bell hooks?

this sorta defeats the purpose of decentralization...

we seem to be popular with reddit users that were banned from reddit, which on average seems to translate to less than wholesome behavior - so maybe lemmy's whole reddit-alternative branding works against us that way.

maybe developing a distinct UI so it's not just a reddit clone, and directing features in a way that is appealing more to particular communities or people we wish to attract would be a good idea, rather than trying to directly replace reddit as a whole?

for example, attracting academics by supporting built-in LaTeX syntax rather than requiring a browser extension

Yiddish actually:

The Hebrew equivalent is oy vavoy.

never heard other families say "oy vey" growing up. As an adult I learned it's a Jewish saying, and I asked my mom if we are Jewish and she just said no, lol

right wing politics promotes rigid gender norms

including that only men should be muscular

so muscular women are masculine

and men attracted to a masculine person are gay

nevermind that these are the same people who want to rigidly define women by their gametes, chromosomes, or other biological characteristics (not how buff they are, or how masculine they present)

or that these are the same people who came up with the idea that everyone is straight to begin with ("gay" being a sinful behavior, nobody being born gay)

I was relating a little too much and got excited finding something so niche but relatable, expecting this was in a meme community and then facepalmed on the inside when I saw the community 🫠
