In 2023 a federal judge convicted him to 90 consecutive life sentences, after he pleaded guilty of hate crimes and firearms violation.

Holy shit.

This might be controversial, but I'm glad he didn't get the death penalty. Not because I don't think he deserves it, but because I don't think we should have the death penalty at all.

Is Beehaw doing something different from the rest of lemmy? You can log into any instance with any of the apps.

Sure is. You might check !lemmyapps@lemmy.world for some suggestions, but there's many.

(Refer to the pinned megathread.)

Especially if they'd help carry your bags and whatnot; that could be very helpful for someone who has mobility issues or just has a lot of things they need to bring. Well worth $7.50

In a hypothetical world where every service that wanted to be kid-friendly was willing to make two versions of their site, and where the obvious security concerns were solved, and where it could somehow be quarantined away from normal users, how would a kid even prove they were a kid?

The issue (in my eyes) is that this isn't limited to discord. Anywhere online where kids are allowed to be, predators can also be. Fuck, even Roblox apparently has a big predator problem. So if we make it the responsibility of platforms to police, we're setting ourselves up for a world where you have to have your ID ready to scan in to any website you visit or service you use that lets you interact with other people in any way, no matter how mundane, and there will be no internet services where anyone under 18 is allowed.

Or, we just accept that there's no reasonable way to keep adults and kids from intermingling, and we make it parents' sole responsibility.

They already have that policy, as the article notes. The problem is, how do you enforce it? As the comment you replied to notes, without requiring an ID verification, anyone can say they're any age.

At what point does it become the parents' responsibility to monitor what their kids are doing online?

Changing what policy, and to what?

Boo hoo. Maybe if he hadn't been such a shitheel he wouldn't have gotten the sanctions imposed against him in the first place. Most people manage to go through their entire lives without ever even facing, nevermind losing, a defamation suit - I hope he gets exactly zero sympathy.

Look into these eyes, you'll see that they are googly.

A copulating donkey?

Do you really not see a difference between the Holocaust and parents with the opinion that trans girls shouldn't be on the same sports teams as AFAB girls? Is this really where we're at here?

This is the same as wearing a white hood to a game with a black student.

Oh come on. I respect your opinion but this is a completely ridiculous comparison. It's the equivalent of wearing an "All Lives Matter" wristband, maybe.

I don't agree with their message at all, but it sounds like they were being fairly passive in their expression of that message, and if it really was just wristbands... were they really causing harm here?

Fair enough. We disagree on the policy, but definitely agree on it being an abuse of power.

I mean, I agree with you on principle, but that's like saying "The best time to rise up against Trump was 2016." Yes, but also we're well past that now and a 'We should have done X' attitude isn't going to solve any problems. Better to look forward and consider what we should do now.

I don’t agree with Harvard (DEI & Pro-Palestinian protests), but I support them defying this order.

Wait, so you... both think they should not have DEI programs and should expel pro-palestinian protestors, but you also think they should defy the government order telling them to do what you think they should do?

He's openly talking about shipping US citizens off to a foreign prison; if there's ever going to be a cause to rise up over, it's this.

I think this sufficiently sums up my take:

The fact that that's an option at all makes Lemmy considerably better than Reddit.
