  • No disadvantages? Idk, there is the whole disadvantage of .world being defederated from lemmygrad. :)

  • Why would you leave a passive-aggressive comment about hexbear when the user made a legitimate point about the influx of redditors overloading .ml servers during the exodus?

  • What a weird comment all around.

    I'll definitely keep FidelCatstro in my back pocket though.

  • I completely understand blocking or ignoring those who engage you in bad faith, but when someone disagrees with you and also engages in a discussion in good faith, you are merely silencing voices of dissent by blocking them.

    How is that approach not creating an echo chamber? It seems hypocritical to label spaces that welcome good faith discourse "echo chambers" while creating your own.

  • I think you forgot to close your eyes and cover your ears before commenting.

  • "Nobody is winning."

    "Ukraine is winning, but nobody is winning."

  • The people straying from the "echo chamber" aren't the ones blocking others for dissent. Sounds like you're projecting.

  • Far longer than he deserved.

  • But those trade relationships are definitely equitable these days, right?

    ...right??

  • Sure, it was for spices, definitely not for money.

    It was a different time. We don't do that anymore!

  • I love you and how you take the time to call out all of these comments.

  • Doesn't matter how many siblings I've had, how many kids I've raised, or how long I've worked in environments where people talk rough.

    Don't be a debate pervert. Go learn about mutual respect.

  • Definitely not. Knee-jerk response. Do you not think about the impact of what you say to others?

  • Always look on the bright side of life

  • When was the last chattel slave in the US released again? 1942.

    When did slavery end on a global scale again? Never.

    Damn. Sounds like we traded the evils of merchantilism for the same evils under capitalism, but with a fresh coat of paint.

  • Go read some socialist theory if you truly support socialism. Your ignorance on the topic is palpable.

  • Some grow up without fearing words, but understanding the implications of the language they use and the effects it can have on others.

    But no, it's definitely that people are "afraid" of the words, not that they try to be cognizant of their words and actions.

  • Thank you! What a reasonable take.

    I don't post my dissent because I have no sense of humor or because I expect people to universally agree with my own sense of humor. I posted this because I hoped some people would think, "huh, maybe I shouldn't post jokes that further propagate the harms caused by patriarchy when there are plenty of other jokes I can make or ways I can phrase the same joke that aren't at the expense of those around me."

    Maybe I want to live in a world where women are treated with the same respect as men. Part of making that change is not continuing to use language that is harmful towards them and calling out others for it when I see it.

    TLDR: Do better OP. The bar is on the floor and you and everyone upvoting you still somehow missed it.
