I agree it’s got more lies than truth social based on its number of users, but It also has the best opportunity for unregulated truths. I think in order to have a platform we can be sure holds the truth, unfortunately, you’re going to open the doors to untruths, too. There is no good without letting in some bad, because in order to force good, you have to become authoritarian, and authoritarian spaces are easily manipulated with no way for us to figure out if it’s true or not.

So, I’ll stay on X/Twitter for now.

Nope, see others commenting below.

And my point was, you can’t be surprised that conservatives turn around and do what the left does to them when they have the chance to. That’s why I was so against Dems ousting Trump supporters from their jobs, because I knew they would turn around and do the same if/when they had the chance.

It’s why we have to be very careful about any laws we pass when Dems are in power. Power will always swing back to Republicans at some point, and you’re fucking crazy if you think they’re not going to use those same laws to repress their political opponents

Free speech isn’t a constitutional right in Australia, or in most places. Conservative voices have been blocked from Australia before. In 2019 it was that Milo guy, and I think Lauren Southern was banned from the UK?

Yup, 100%

I grew up with fridge peanut butter.

What a dumb take.

I use 1440, which sums up daily news in a fact-based way and leaves out all opinion. It’s magical. It takes 10 minutes to read and I’m not bombarded by why “libtards are destroying america” or why “this ties back to trump destroying democracy” somehow.

Highly recommend it for daily news.

I’m assuming in a bid to conduct door-to-door preaching is what the title was supposed to say?

Nothing to report or add, I just appreciate you!

There’s a lot of reasons why, it’s the things you listed plus a lot more.

Same, but I’m also not concerned about FOSS, I just want a reliable app and sync is it.

We just have different ideas of what it means to be transphobic.

Ohhhh, that’s why I have to take those monthly security training quizzes, lol. I haven’t seen one on AI deepfakes though, I’m sure they’re coming.

This is easily ignored. Everyone will forget about it in a few weeks and nothing will change

It’s lemmy. Who cares

I know what it means, its just used incorrectly a lot, like it is here.

Ah yes someone has a different experience?? They must internally hate themselves. 🙄

I’m not omiting anything, just adding that some privilege comes along with the sexism.

Why’s that? People like me fine.

I’m a woman in STEM. I only went to a CC, so maybe there’s a difference there, but I didn’t experience much sexism in my time there.

I have experienced it at work, but usually from the younger, unsocialized men. Is it a problem? Sure, but I’ll take that over my bosses being sexist.

Also, along with the sexism does come some privilege. When I do something wrong, I tend to get taken easier on when it comes to punishment. I also am able to form… different (non-sexial) bonds with the higher ups. These dynamics are much different to any bonds I had with female bosses from my previous field of work, and they’re different than the bonds the higher ups have with my male counterparts. I can say that I don’t worry about being laid off or fired.

However, I’m also fairly certain that I have a sharp awareness of these bonds and how to manipulate them to get what I want.

Not trying to poo-poo any sexism claims, just that there’s also certainly a privilege to be had being a woman minority in a male-dominated field.

Interesting, I didn’t think about what for of chaos a disruption to a major geothermal pipe could cause.

Luckily, Icelanders is pretty good about keeping people alive during events like these.

My two was hit hard by the Thomas Fores, and while mine didn’t burn down, I know people who lost their homes to that fire. It’s pretty devastating, but they’re all doing well now. I hope it’s the same for these people.
