“promoted” LGBT rights internationally in a way that got LGBT people thrown under the bus world wide as a side effect of resisting American imperial power.

Hey I don’t like HRC but this take is pants on head unhinged. Shes not doing anti-LGBT 4D chess, she was just narcissistic/delusional to think she’d be anywhere charismatic enough to convince people internationally to treat LGBT people better.

Do people in the global south & developing world have agency? Or are they simpletons being manipulated by grand puppet masters? If the answer is they have agency, the bigots that live in those places should own their bigotry and you shouldn’t do apologia for them. If the answer is they are simpletons well… ok.

Could be something negotiated between servers to continue being federated with them. I don’t think it’d be a huge ask.

Worst case though, only people within the replier’s server would see their replies. That’s better than nothing.

That should be a separate function: Muting, Ignoring, or maybe “Shadow Blocking”.

Regular Blocking should prevent direct replies completely.

EDIT: There also should be an option to make all or specific comments “Viewable by logged in & unblocked users only”. For maximum separation.

No, you shouldn’t be embarrassed.

I mean, it probably wont work out unless your dad has a good eye for matchmaking but it is worth a shot. Plus its like he is suggesting a chance to grow as a person.

Part of me wishes my dad had done this but I know he’d be a terrible matchmaker for me. Though again, at least I probably would have learned from it.

Man I got a lot of them.

1. Free will isn’t real.
2. I’m kind of OK with AI replacing our jobs under capitalism, even if things get bumpy because I think because its unsustainable for various reasons and it’ll eventually cause economic collapse and we might live in a better society afterward.
3. Nuanced “soft” Anti-natalism
4. Currency is fine. The left was wrong about Crypto.
5. He might not always be right but Vaush is funny and its OK to watch his streams.
6. We should all fuck each other more and monogamy is retarded.
7. Oh also its OK to call things and people “retarded”
8. Virtue doesn’t matter only consequences.
9. Bisexuality is secretly more common than hetero & homosexuality.
10. Religion and spirituality should be illegal.
11. Autistic people should rule the world.
12. That Trump won a second time reflects a fundamentally disgusting moral weakness in most of humanity that I will never emotionally recover from.
13. Linux is good but most of Linux users ideology about GUI is awful.

If you are like me and you wasted your 20’s being lazy and asocial then 29 felt like an awful frantic make up year (that achieved nothing) but 30 felt like “Well at least I know its too late for certain things. I can relax and just accept things as they are. There is peace in doom.”

Its not enshittified in various ways. Its just a news aggregate and discussion forum that functions.

English speakers will talk about the UK/Canada/Austrailia/etc. once one of them are on fire/falling into fascism as well.
