Mate, the c/atheism cunts on lemmydotworld are far worse than any bear. They downvoted my wholly unrelated Tolkien post so much that people started asking me what happened. The bears are the least of your concerns. In fact they'll be needed to keep Lemmy from becoming a reactionary shithole.
Yeah, I actually am on board with them politically, but the shock images keep me away from daily browsing. I go back every week or so to read their long posts to learn something new. And this is a happy balance so far.
Are you an actual python noob? I've literally started reading a few chapters of Automate the Boring Stuff, and I've got it all so far, but it's slow going. Any tips?
I hate those people who bleat about people being 'tankies' too. They're everywhere and seem to be brigading and provoking the hexbear people for some reason.
I do think that those opposed to federation with hexbear are a loud minority and using the same arguments as was applied against lemmygrad and lemmy.ml. In many cases they aren’t nuanced views, just recycled lines repeated. It’s so frequently and so similar, I have wondered if it’s brigading. Is this people who were on exploding heads that are still angry and trying to get even?
