If by other people you mean something like the PR firm of the IOC, then sure. The word "popular" doesn't just mean "something one person or entity prefers"
Nonsense. I've put all my various knives in the dishwasher for years and there is zero visible rust on them. Every few months i use a sharpener on them and they're super sharp again.
You need to specify whether you're taking about digital or analog technology, or some other limit on the question, because i think you're not looking for answers like "fire" or as another user replied "shoes".
My argument is you can't tell the demographic identity of ANY person who posts on lemmy. Even when they supposedly self-identify.
Again, what you're saying here is radically different than what OP is saying in the 4 points they posted. There was nothing limiting it to "on discussions about being black".
Again, total nonsense. I'll repeat exactly what i said in one of the comments you deleted, and YOU can tell me why it's wrong. On lemmy there's no way to know what race/gender/sexuality a person is. So, you tell me, how is any of this stuff applicable here? If OP was just talking about mastodon, then their title is completely wrong, because their title is specifically saying how to change the fediverse, not how to change mastodon.
Absolute nonsense. Many of the comments you removed weren't saying anything wrong. They were discussing why the OPs draft is unworkable and would have the opposite of the effect they intend.
Please please please, now is not the moment for an additional new minority to make the ticket. It's already gonna be hard for many people to vote for a woman, and an Indian. We need the most vanilla white christian male to be Kamala's running mate.
Yeah the things that the elders say sound like typical narcissist parent quotes. "[My kids abandoned me because] they said ‘Taking care of him is not our cup of tea.” That's sounds extremely unlikely. I would guess you didn't want to hear the very justified exact reasons why they didn't want you in their life anymore.
I think existing fraud laws would just cover cases where someone tries to sell the fake as if its the real thing.
For instance let's say i made an AI replica of Arnold Schwarzenegger and put it in a movie. If i said "come see my movie with Schwarzenegger in it" then that would be fraud, but if i said "come see my movie with a replica of Schwarzenegger in it" then that wouldn't be fraud.
Or at least that's what i think is correct, but IANAL
Whoda thunk it?! And it's especially dumb because iirc studies have shown that shoplifting rates haven't changed much if at all in a long time
