Imagine my surprise when “What could Hamas do to end the violence” wasn’t just an innocent question…

Australian/British slang. It’s a disparaging term for Americans

Starts with rhyming slang

American = Yank Yank = Tank Tank = Septic Tank Septic Tank = Seppo

As I said, yes, a lemmy that bans folk like you is a lemmy that is doing something right

“What could Hamas do to end the violence?”

Nothing else.

And I got immediately banned.

Making excuses for genocide being something that gets you banned is a lemmy I’m fine with

Seppo is a really unfortunate name…

Your language settings are probably hiding a lot of content. You need to enable any languages you speak and also enable undetermined

And other people deliberately use all of the “come on man” and “Hey mate” and “Dude is not gendered” explicitly at trans people, because it lets them get away with misgendering. So trans people, who experience that stuff every day, can be a little sensitive when someone does that, even if they aren’t doing it deliberately.

In this case, not knowing the person, and not having access to their pronouns, the comment was fine. But once you know it’s an issue, repeating it despite knowing it’s an issue is a shitty thing to do.

It could easily have been anonymised. The conversation can happen without misgendering someone a second time around.

Literally just edit the person’s name out of the image, and boom, same discussion, but this time without repeating the same mistake

Whatever your thoughts on the original situation, you know her pronouns now, and you’ve directly reposted the thing that got you banned. This time around, you don’t have an excuse. You know that it’s an issue, but you didn’t anonymise the post, effectively sharing the misgendering with even more people

Brendan Eich. He donated money anti marriage equality organisations and politicians, and half of the Mozilla board resigned when he was appointed as Mozilla CEO. He stepped down from that role after 11 days, and went on to found Brave.

He’s also an anti-masker/pandemic conspiracy theorist

Sorry, homophobia!

Pushing the boundaries of the question, but 40k orks! How can you not love the big green lugs?

Fricken’ dinosaurs with fricken’ sword arms.

The undersells them by a lot! That makes them sound comparable to Deathclaws in Fallout, but K’chain Che’malle scared gods!

I don’t even know if I am autistic, let alone where it diverges from my ADHD or how it differs from the experiences of other ND folk.

I don’t use Google either

Aside from the transphobia and crypto shilling, I’m sure they’re great

Similar to me! OM-1 MkII here, and unless I’m going out specifically to go birding, I’ll just leave the 12-100 on it.

I use an Olympus OM-1 Mark Ii, mostly for bird photos. It’s easily the best birding camera I’ve owned

You’d expect any kind of ritualistic practice that widespread to have some sort of historical record related to the practice

I have many issues with hexbear, but transphobia is not one of them. They are explicitly and aggressively trans inclusive
