  • I’m going to throw in a defense of saying both sides for the sake of argument. Both sides can be guilty of similar behavior and pointing that out should not imply symmetry between them. I personally find it frustrating to discuss topics that aren’t framed explicitly as right VS left because you immediately get piled of for “both sides aren’t the same!!”.



  • Eyes rolling to the back of my head on the idea that beer is “toxic masculinity”. Some people just like bitter flavors. My entire family drinks black coffee, so I always have. Maybe genetic or learned behavior but no one’s trying to prove anything at the breakfast table lol.

    Huge fan of good/craft beers (and not just IPAs) so I’m a but defensive on that take. There’s such a wide range of flavors to experience and trying something new is a big part of the enjoyment. Same goes for wine, cheese, or any “luxury” food really.


  • Yeah I totally get the decision but I gotta say I’m disappointed. Maybe it’s naive but I loved the idea that one of the premiere instances of lemmy had a core ethos that was a bit different and hopefully less toxic. Now instead of being a core driver for the developing culture of the lemmyverse were kinda just going to end up a niche walled garden. But again, from a mod perspective it get it. It sucks the tools simply don’t exist to deal with the massive influx of reddit users.

    Realistically, I’ll probably end up with a main account elsewhere and hopefully continue to participate here occasionally.
