Correct, just the communities. I still see .ml user posts and comments in other communities, which is tolerable. Plenty of them are fine. For the that aren’t, the heckler’s veto sometimes keeps the dumber narratives at bay.

I appreciate that instance labels carry some meaning of how a user is likely to act.

Ironically I think that ship has sailed

Never updating your browser again is a pretty bad idea when it comes to security

Lemmy.ml is the only instance block I have, after seeing too many illiberal shit takes, bad faith arguments and socialist astroturf posts.

My instance quickly defederated from HexBear and LemmyGrad which is just fine by me, it’s helpful most of the bad eggs are concentrated in just a few places.

Their messaging so far to Israel has been “do whatever the fuck you want, 💰💰”

Total joke of a government

Women rapists are more rare. And comments like this only serve to promote rape culture.

They exist, right? In direct contradiction to what the sign is plainly saying, right? But pointing that out is somehow promoting rape culture? That is ridiculous and offensive. They mean to exclude an entire category of survivors. To believe that slogan and uncritically repeat it, you’d need to be willfully ignorant and have the emotional intelligence of a turnip.

Sex abuse of all kinds is evil and a social menace. By people of any gender, against people of any gender. No equivocation, full stop.

I’m not out to debate the statistics of “REAL problem” with you. I’m pointing out that it’s counterproductive (and I believe morally wrong) to tell survivors they’re unworthy because their abuser was a woman. I get the feeling some people care more about gendering this issue than they do about about victims of abuse.

most of the men I know tend to think abusive men are always other men

I’m sure most if not all abusers are in denial and don’t consider themselves abusers, but this slogan gives a pass to ones who happen to be women by insisting that they don’t exist at all.

actually decent men are aware that they are complicit by their very existence as men under the patriarchy, and invest their energy in being better and calling out their fellow men to try and improve your collective reputation

This is bald-faced, shameless bigotry and reflects a real lack of self awareness

Seemed pretty clear to me that @ShareMySims@sh.itjust.works is calling me a rapist for daring to criticize the claim that rapists are always men

I’ll take the bait too because I’ve personally known a female abuser (never did anything to me but raped a 14 year old as a teacher) and it makes me furious that a so-called activist would not only disregard crime that doesn’t fit their narrative, but try to gaslight the rest of the world into doing it too.

not all men but always a man

Pointless sexist bullshit and wrong on its face. I never understood the drive some people have to paint abusive behavior as exclusive to men.

This incident will be reported!

You’d think if they were actually concerned what Israel would do with all those weapons, they’d stop giving them all those weapons

Sudo apt install AGAIN!

There was nothing wrong with the halogen and I’ll die on that hill. Ever since they abandoned it, it’s been an arms race, and the aftermarket drop-ins are the worst offenders. I’ve resigned myself to never seeing anything on the highway shoulder because of the intensity of oncoming traffic’s headlights.

Watch next year’s models have LTE modems…for your convenience of course

Ireland isn’t in Europe? You’re about as well informed geographically as you are economically 😂

And then the adherents fought over the means and meaning, and everybody else threw their hands up
