Racism is the -ism of race — the idea that race is one of the (or the) most important traits of a person.
That through race, you can assume things about them like their worth, how you should treat them, how they act, feel, etc.

The way I see, all of these -isms are all like that (sexism, nationalism, etc).

So no, it’s not racist to call yourself white. It would be racist, though, to say you’re worth more or less than others because of your being white.

Yes! I’m a good girl, and I love anime! :D

As did Pleroma and several other fedi servers — that’s not really innovation, it’s something simple that Mastodon devs deliberately avoided implementing.

For years he’s been saying things things that white supremacists love to hear: White people are being replaced; legal and illegal immigrants are ruining the US; George Soros hates the west and wants society to collapse (anti-semites love that one); immigrants are dirty, uncivilized; a race war is imminent; anything done to acknowledge racism is racist; BLM protests were violent riots; mass-shooters with racist manifestos aren’t white supremacists; etc.

There are several instances of him associating with and boosting white supremacists online, and even his show’s long-time top writer was pressured to quit after explicitly racist online posts came to light.

This page does a fairly good job of cataloging the sorts of rhetoric he’s used that’re amicable to white supremacists.

We’re out for ourselves, yea. But we’re also out for each other, because we like or need each other. Thinking about things transactionally, that cynicism to avoid getting tricked or hurt… I don’t think that’s conducive to good relationships or a happy life.

For somewhat larger projects, I think the OS Haiku is a perfect example. It isn’t a benevolent dictatorship, there is no single leader — there are just long-time contributors. If you send in contributions substantive or regular enough, there’s a good chance you’ll get push access. Patches generally are accepted with open arms, and devs with push access give constructive criticism on patches kindly. The OS is better for it!

I’ve been usimg the translatiom extension since it dropped, it’s quite handy! Glad to see it’ll be the default, soon.

Southern US — get black tea, iced. Sometimes asked for sweeter preference.

Hot tea is never on the menu, except for tea houses.

Better yet, check out NewPipe on F-Droid. :^)

The federation with Mastodon is mostly one-way: We can’t see or comment on Mastodon posts, but Mastodon users can see and comment on Lemmy posts.

Mastodon’s like Twitter… its posts wouldn’t fit in the Lemmy UI well. Though I hear kbin works well with both Mastodon-style and Lemmy-style posts.

It’s customizing and souping up your desktop to look cool, like car ricing is for souping up your car.

Matrix (with its main client Element) is probably the most popular Discord competitor right now. It’s libre and federated, just like Lemmy!
