Yeah smoked it a couple of times. Wasn't as good as expected. We were all quite in to party drugs, ie ecstasy, speed, coke, acid etc. The buzz on crack wasn't a patch on a good trip!

How did you guess?

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.

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.

I'm prepared to lose contact with people that are problematic or toxic, especially those with the more radical views, but it's not nice to watch someone I've known for many years gradually lose all their friends for similar reasons.

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.

"A plurality vote (in North American English) or relative majority (in British English)[1] describes the circumstance when a party, candidate, or proposition polls more votes than any other but does not receive more than half of all votes cast."

Congratulations feddit.uk!

Thank you to all those who make it worth being here!

There's a couple of threads: https://feddit.uk/post/5924434 and https://feddit.uk/post/5925286 talking about it.

Maybe a new instance with a stupid name, maybe not. Either way it looks increasingly like the end of the line for feddit.uk.

Perhaps @tom will rock up last minute for the version upgrade and it'll limp along for another couple of months again.

Definitely time to copy your subscriptions to another instance if you haven't already!

It was nice while it lasted.

I will warn you, it does have a silly name

Why though? A catchy and memorable name, I understand, but why silly? Who wants to say to people they belong to the 'quackhouse' instance, or whatever?

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 🖖
