I don’t know? They both pretty much shaped and changed my life from the moments they happened onwards…

This person becomes so insistent with these statements that they end up being kicked out of the club. Before leaving, the person calls the club an “Echo Chamber” about tulips.

Would this person be right?

In theory, yes, that’s what it is.

In practice, accusations of being an echo chamber are mostly made against inclusive spaces by people who are upset that they can’t air non inclusive opinions

One of my workmates moved to Australia from Uruguay when he was 14. He only spoke Spanish at the time, which isn’t very common in Australia. He’s talked a few times about the different experience he had vs his sister who is a few years younger than him. He still has a noticable rioplatense accent to his english, but his sister does not. He also had to go to a special immersion class/school to get his english to the point where he could do manage in regular english language schooling, but his sister did not, and managed just fine being moved straight in to english speaking schools.

Ultimately, he said that he got there pretty quickly, because he was still a kid, but he spent the best part of a year feeling isolated from his peers, except when he was in the immersion class.

“small political differences”

A nazi salute isn’t a small political difference…

Some of the folk who swallowed the propaganda and want to erase folk like me from the planet may have been conned, but however they got there, their goal is still to hurt other people.

Lemmy tiene comunidades espanol, pero no muchas.

Having no to few peers is isolating no matter how compassionate you are.

Healing factor - always-on healing.

Don’t we already have that?

Great way to feel lonely and isolated! It’s already an issue “gifted” folk struggle with, and the more “gifted” you are, the more isolated you tend to be

Interestingly, I’d be forced to take this deal if wiping my memory of it was a side effect of rejecting it.

And when I took it? Yeah, the money would influence me and self interest would shape some of my decisions, but at the end of the day, I have to live with myself. If my decisions aren’t also shaped by empathy and compassion for others, then I’d have lost myself.

Formal language also indicates dispassionate separation from your topic of conversation and the people you’re communicating with, which can be disrespectful in and of itself in some contexts.

Useful for trolls, less useful for bot spam from throwaway accounts

More moderators and admins

The other part is, lemmy hides content from you unless you have the language enabled in your settings, and so, I have all languages enabled just so I can see all the content. And that makes navigating the language list really unwieldy without a default option

when on voice or the phone?

That’s it. Those are my pet peeves

I don’t know, because my parents were irreligious too. My dad was an atheist, and my mum is agnostic. She has some spiritual beliefs, but has no religious beliefs or belief in deities.

The thing is, when that happens, the mods/admins of the trolls new instance ban them there, without the original admin having to do anything.

Abandoned instances, or instances that simply don’t moderate, get defederated, so it’s quite manageable.

The only case where it’s not that clear cut, is where the troll is a big issue for one admin, but not another. Take trans issues for example. I have a zero tolerance policy on transphobia on this instance, but not all lemmy admins are as aware of the dogwhistles as I am, so I will block some users that other admins won’t. It’s not ideal, but it’s manageable, because I can stop their brand of transphobia from reaching my instance even if they’re not banned by the remote admin. And if that pushes the troll to create another account elsewhere to get through the instance ban, then that becomes harassment, and the other admins will act, even if they wouldn’t before.

Thus, the decentralized platform is rolling out a “more aggressive” policy on parody accounts that aren’t clearly labeled.

If it were decentralised, it wouldn’t be possible for the platform to set a network wide policy on parody accounts…

You went mask off pretty quickly…

But I have to play devil’s advocate

That’s not being a devils advocate, it’s just plain transphobia. As if trans people somehow have the power social power to choose the worlds attention.

You say hate is for religious reasons, and then blame the victims of that hate for the attention they’re getting from their oppressors, the very people you yourself just said are responsible for it.

And honest opinion or not, you chose to spend your energy undermining a trans person talking about our oppression, when you could simply have chosen to not do that. And that shit is creating the very problem you just blamed trans people for
