  • This might be a helpful discussion to start on the git repo :) I dunno if where the project is hosted discussions are a supported feature like github, but it could potentially be opened as a feature request if a discussion isn’t an option :)

    Personally I think that would be cool :) It’d be nice to be able to check a few boxes and adjust the route for your needs

    No idea how effort efficient it would be though, in terms of cost to implement vs helpfulness to the userbase



  • Nazism is an ideology definied by violence and the rejection of the humanity of minority populations.

    Christianity is defined as a belief in a christian god, and if frequently practised in a way that is cruel to those in an outgroup, but it is not an intrinsic, definitional feature, as evidenced by the ones ability to readily find Christians who are progressive, welcoming of out-groups, etc.

    Condemn people for their actions and the impact they have on the world, not the actions you see as common within a demographic. Thats the same argumentative cloth that racism and bigotry is cut from.

    Just look at the wildly unpleasant welcome Zohran Mamdani has recieved for being Muslim. Islam is a faith that is frequently practiced in a way that is cruel and regressive, spreads the violent persecution and sometimes execution of the out-group, and yet here is a wildly progressive socialist Muslim running a campaign built on an inclusive social movement.

    Martin Luther King Jr was a Christian, and Malcom X was a Muslim. Religious ideologies vary wildly from one practice to another, and one individual to another, and are very explicitly defined by an idea unrelated to cruelty towards an outgroup. Nazism is a completely fallacious comparison.


  • Their community it literally predicated on social progress and compassion. It being popular not to like their demographic doesn’t make you less of a shithead for going around and being antagonistic.

    Religions mean all sorts of different things to different people. Your definition of their beliefs is not more accurate than their own; going around telling other people what they believe is a shitty way to act.

    Sincerely, An atheist who is very tired of the meaningless, self righteous, antagonism towards anyone who identities with religion in any capacity on lemmy. Please stop giving yourself permission to be mean to people who are different from you, as long as you can contrive a strawman of who they are that justifies being a jerk.






  • People who find computers useful should be using computers.

    This weird idea from some linux users that only people who see their computer as a hobby and have mastery over them should be allowed to use them, and that computers should be designed exclusively around the needs of computer-as-hobby users, is absolutely nuts.

    Its a tool. It should be designed to be useful as possible to anyone who needs such a tool.

    Sincerely,
    Another linux user who cares about UI/UX and is tired of this kind of junk. It’s a dumb argument, let’s all stop making it please. Linux supports all your “technical user” wildest dreams, let the average people have their features and design considerations too.
