parmesan@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Voyager users, what is on your blocked keywords list?4·3 months agoI didn’t know this was a feature. There wouldn’t happen to be a way to do this but only for the subscription tab? Because I want to stay updated on politics but specifically want my subscriptions to be sanitized of them for when I need a break from thinking about the state of the world for awhile
parmesan@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•are you permanently banned off reddit? or do you just like lemmy more?2·3 months agoBoth, I’m sure I could make a new account if I wanted but I don’t want to contribute to their dumpster fire of a website anymore anyway
I can’t remember the name or figure out what to search to find it, but there was a book I picked up in early high school that really changed the way I think about protests.
Most of the main characters were LGBT, which was incredibly refreshing to me, and were actively being oppressed by their school staff and local police force. It was the first time I’d ever heard about zip-tie handcuffs and tear gas being used against peaceful protesters. It wasn’t the most well written book but demonstrated all types of discrimination and oppression that I’d never even thought about before at that point in my life
Edit: Anger is a Gift was the name of it

Can’t speak as to how effective alt text would be in teaching most blind people though, I imagine it’d be way easier to learn hands-on

Regardless of how grim/serious the original post was.

I saw someone in a reddit thread about Lemmy earlier complaining that it wasn’t “user friendly” enough because someone posted an infograph on how the Fediverse works. Even though all the infograph was explaining was that you log into one instance and can freely interact with the rest from there…
I’ve always thought the internet should be more decentralized and being able to log in without seeing tons of bots, reposts and propaganda is literally the best aspect of Lemmy for me. This feels like what social media was meant to be. I wish there was an easier way to get people to understand that.

I love them. Being able to check my calendar events, email and grocery list at a glance is invaluable to me because if they weren’t right there on my homescreen I’d completely forget about them
Reading the responses of the women in the comic you seriously think this situation isnt a metaphor for sexual assault?
In your other thread of replies to me you’re stating that it is but we’re supposed to disagree with them. I’m not sure why you feel the need to defend her so strongly that you’re simultaneously making 2 conflicting arguments and completely ignoring the other behavior I mentioned but I’m not really interested in continuing this discussion with you because I’ve presented the facts and it’s clear you’re personally unwilling to consider that this comic was made in bad faith
I don’t want to spam the comments section by copy and pasting the same message twice, but someone else made a similar point so I’ll link my response
Yes, the comic is satire. The satire is “men getting treated the way female r*pe victims get treated”. Implying that male sexual assault doesn’t happen or that when it does, people actually believe them, when in reality men who are victims of this often just don’t speak up at all because when they are, they’re either not believed, called “gay” for not enjoying it, or it ends up reported with a headline like “female teacher has sex with male student”.
The fact she posted this comic on men’s mental health awareness day and proceeded to engage in arguments with male victims of SA in the comments - who were then banned without a chance to appeal - as well as her past of seeking out her critics to argue with even in other subreddits heavily indicates that this was inflammatory on purpose.
…did you respond to the wrong person or are you just making shit up to be mad at because you don’t have an argument?
Receipts have been posted above. Respectfully, I hope more people realize that when someone tries to paint every single one of their critics as being a misogynistic incel, that its a manipulation tactic. (Even though, yes, reddit is full of those too)
I find it really distasteful that she makes comics “in support” of trans people while denying those born as male can experience sexual assault. It’s just a different, more subtle/socially acceptable form of transphobia.
Here’s a r/SubredditDrama post that covers what was said before mods nuked the comments section
And another with more proof of mods nuking comments
Don’t forget about the comic she made downplaying the seriousness of male r*pe on mens mental health awareness day, and the arguments she participated in under her own post with male victims of SA.
I ended up finding this on droidify and it seems to work
