What the actual fuck is wrong with admins of SJW?

Please direct any seething that you may wish to do to the struggle session that's well underway over here.

Thought this instance puts things to vote so yeah, duck you too, goodbye.

Conflating inclusion of people regardless of their inborn traits / social status and inclusion of people regardless of their shilling for genocidal regimes is par for the course for people making mockery of the left.

Regular users subscribe to communities they like and occasionally browses "All" to explore what else there is, knowing 99% will be irrelevant to their interests.

You and Lemmygrad people openly talk interfering with other instances so don't play coy. Your astroturfing attempts are transparent to anyone with a pair of eyes or a screen reader.

Other than shilling for genocidal regimes I've seen them brigade such posts after they refederated recently. This kind of behavior is unacceptable in my book regardless of what ideology you subscribe to.

I'm not judging someone who read the entire series or those who did it multiple times. People are free to enjoy what they want. Regardless of that, doing 8 months multiplied by even 2-3 times is a considerable chunk of a human lifespan. It explains takes like "I don't like the adaptation because it made too many changes" and it needs to be put into perspective. I've elaborated more on this in my other comment.

"This series is 1:1 replica of a book" and "this series is only taking a passing inspiration from original books" are merely facts and a starting point to set expectations before moving on to describe and judge an adaptation. It's okay to judge by comparing original to adaptation but "this is not a faithful adaptation, therefore it is bad" does not help in evaluating quality of derived work.

I guess it was up to e-scooter renting companies to come up with some kind of geofencing of reasonable parking but they failed to self-regulate which led to everyone being pissed off about them. If those companies were concerned about the spaces they littered they'd probably be still in business.

It's a good sign that abusing good faith is punished with such severity.

I agree that it's more cybersecruity related but given that this incident led to a food product recall there is a bit of a more broad appeal so I think fits this community.

No idea, I tried out Bean while it was in open test flight and was confused when the app dev went ahead with advertising this feature once it went paid. It's definitely a standout among other Lemmy clients but unfortunately it's half baked. I remained subscribed to this community to keep an eye out for when it is properly implemented.

It doesn't work and it's rather misleading to have as a paid feature until it does.

I don't believe critique of JK Rowling is left wing extremism although book burning as a form of consumer boycott seems to be rather counterproductive.
