Come one come all to the Lemmy-verse! It's nice and cozy here, we do have some "bad parts of town" but you can do an instance block and not deal with them lol
For your memes we have !memes@lemmy.world if you like sciency posts mander.xyz has some excellent communities (communities=subreddits) like !science@mander.xyz and !biology@mander.xyz and for a meme science combo theres always the fantastic !science_memes@mander.xyz
You can also drop a shit(post) off at !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world or hang out at !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone (though you do have to post before you leave that one!)
There's much more around as well!
Obligatory, fuck Spez
Except when people on here use it all the time to refer to people who don't meet the definition.
Regardless, I'm happy that y'all are changing the definition through over use since it defangs it. You can insist all you want that "It's only used against the people mentioned in the formal definition" but everyone who's ever seen it in actual use knows you're wrong.
Again, you could also try to tell me that the f-slur only applies to gay people since that's what the dictionary defines it as, but every straight guy who's ever been called it (most of them, at least from my generation) knows you're full of shit.
It's like trying to say that "You're mother's a removed" only applies to people who's mothers are actually prostitutes, it's ridiculous and very obviously not how language works.
If you actually only use it according to the dictionary definition, there are no tankies, or at least, very few, even on places like Hexbear or Lemmygrad.
