  • Examples of racism on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Look you've been shot down so many times by so many people, but 'they're all wrong and I'm right' is your take away?

    I'm beginning to think troll rather than misguided.

    I'll say it loud so those at the back can hear too:

    YOU CAN'T FIGHT RACISM WITH MORE RACISM!

    It really is quite simple.

    Blocking you seems like the best idea in this thread so far.

  • Absolutely we all have blind spots, I just think OP's blind spot is addressing 'white people' like none of us live with, and around many cultures, not just races.

    If someone were to address my local Polish or Bangladeshi or Muslim or whatever community the same way OP is addressing 'white people' in this post I would call it borderline racist and in fact it would fit in OP's original 'don't do' list.

  • I appreciate it probably comes from good intentions, but generalizing how entire groups of people should change to suit another group of people is a slippery slope.

  • As someone interviewed on TV asked; Are these more adverts rather than artworks?

  • No, but the things they are saying, maybe inadvertently, are starting to seem that way.

    Swap 'black' and 'white' in their do not do list. Does it sound racist now?

  • As you say, all racism isn't obvious. A quick look at their post history shows 7 or 8 race related posts recently.

    Repeatedly stating white people should do or not do specific things.

    This seems to me like the definition of racism at it's roots.

  • Yep they were from a multi-colour pack. Glad it's not just me then!

    Yep, racist cunts!

  • Olympic athlete amputates finger to play in 2024 Paris Games

    Jump

  • So an amputation heals faster? Fast enough? Must have been some injury!

  • Why are comments like "use Firefox" okay on Lemmy while "go vegan" is getting downvoted?

    Jump

  • That's fair enough, but it seems it should be obvious that the weighting of browser choice, not moral for most, it's a browser, and massive diet change based entirely on subjective morality are just not comparable.

  • Why are comments like "use Firefox" okay on Lemmy while "go vegan" is getting downvoted?

    Jump

  • Suggesting a browser or bashing a corporate brand are not the same as encouraging morally driven life choices. Is that not obvious?

  • Space Station 14 is a modern reimagining of a cultish and richly complex online RPG

  • Looks interesting!

    Signed up and will be trying this!

  • I also use SuperSlicer and find this issue problematic too!

    Hoping someone has a suggestion.

  • Regular posters, which communities are you currently focusing on?

    Jump

  • A Kerbal Space Program community: !ksp@lemmy.world

    It's an older game but it checks out! I know there must be a lot of others that still enjoy KSP and it would be nice for this community to take off 🖖
