Non americans of lemmy, would you support a ban on american social media on your country?
I hope Trump bans all your genders.
Funny enough, this is the second time in as many days that I've seen one of you people specifically singling out LGBTQ+ people in your little temper tantrums. Makes it pretty obvious that Palestine was just your excuse to welcome the christian nationalists in. You see, we suspected that you didn't care before but now it appears your masks are slipping off.
Critics warned it advances anti-trans rhetoric
Hmmm yes this floor appears to made of floor.
She-ra is a blast IMO. Definitely more suitable for all ages than Harley Quinn and Hazbin Hotel though lol. Not to say there's nothing for adults but it's not as edgy or violent.
Hazbin Hotel was also great. Not a fan of the music personally (please don't kill me) but loved everything else about it, from the concept and message to the characters, especially Charlie and Vaggie. Haven't actually checked when season 2 is coming. Losing track in this place.
Just went there. Top post is politics, next post is about a touchy feely doctor, there's a few about body image, more politics, a reminder to not use period tracker apps because the USA government is literally taking women's rights over their own bodies away, dating advice, more politics.
Looks to me like a women-oriented subreddit for discussing women's issues, just like it always has. Could you point out some of these 'femcels' there to me? Should they be praising the Trump administration, swooning over pervert doctors and sharing Andrew Tate screenshots instead?
Maybe a lot are a bit angry there but I think they've got every fucking right to be angry right now. Don't you?
If you think twoxchromosomes is bad because women there had the nerve to talk about their bad experiences, then actual feminist subs must've terrified you.
Based on what I've learnt, what's holding Lemmy back is that a large amount of users are fucking man babies that brigade any women-oriented communities and drive women in general away from this place, while admins just sit back and allow them to. The Lemmy mouse needs a fedora.
Fuck yeah! Only two episodes out so far though. And 20 minutes a week for this show is a bit of torture. Especially without the random discussions and memes to keep you going until the next episode.
I'm not the moderator type myself but I would definitely be there upvoting / lurking / throwing in an occasional two cents. You're actually making me consider a rewatch now lol.
I hope that you advertise this in certain subs on Reddit because I'm sure there must be lots of people by now that have come here looking for certain communities, then gone back to Reddit after seeing the sad search results. The people from /r/actuallesbians would be nice to have around here on Lemmy.
There's also no really decent or active feminist communities on this platform (unless the good ones are all on some defederated instance I haven't seen). And the discussion for Harley Quinn that has just come out is a ghost town. And there's no Xena community, or She-ra. There is at least an Owl House community though.
None of these things really have to be connected and this is all anecdotal but I get the impression that this platform (Lemmy as a whole , not Blåhaj) is short on women in general. At least compared to Reddit or other platforms like Bluesky.
Edit: no WitchesvsPatriarchy either (besides some dead community that someone tried to make non-binary specific) and I'm sure I could keep listing them as I remember what I've tried looking up here, or if I just go check my Reddit account.
Edit 2: Even Lemmy's version of twoxchromosomes only has two posts with a total of one comment and one upvote between them.
I wish that I existed in the better timeline where after Fear Factor was over, this guy went on to sell vacuum cleaners on infomercials where he belongs instead of being some sort of political talking head. I mean, what the fuck.
I joked about this once, but I'm starting to think that if the Democrats want to win the people over, they need to get that guy who hosted Survivor to run for president, and get Guy Fieri to run a podcast to get all the kids onboard. The USA might not trust politicians or science or education anymore but they sure as hell trust '00s era reality TV stars.
Honestly I'm gonna go against what people usually say and say that Arch is better to start with than Ubuntu, as long as you're not afraid of command line or editing txt files. Whether it's Arch or Ubuntu, as a noob you're going to be doing a lot of wiki reading and copying and pasting of commands.
Personally though, a big difference between the two I found is that after a couple of years of copying and pasting commands in Ubuntu, I still didn't really understand anything about how Linux works behind the scenes. Whereas Arch had me feeling like I too could be a sysadmin, if I felt like it, within a week.
And maybe things are different these days with Ubuntu, it's been a few years, but I find that Arch has a way more enthusiastic and helpful user base. And the Arch wiki is practically a bible. Whereas searching for problems and solutions in Ubuntu can feel a bit like searching for problems and solutions in Windows, where you'll probably get copy pasted generic solutions or someone telling you to restart your PC.
Both flags at the same time.
It would be cool if the massive and influential conspiracy crowd that you guys have there would ever pick up and run with anything painting the right wing in a bad light, to the same extent they get excited about secret pizza messages. Almost as if the whole conspiracy theorist scene is manufactured and controlled by firestarters that thank all of the dumb pieces of shit for their gullibility and for looking the other way whenever it looks like the conspiracy might be coming from inside the building.

As a non-American, it's always looked to me like the Republicans manage to get their shit done whether they're in charge or not and the Democrats are just there to assure everyone they have a choice in voting and not much else.
The whole thing to me looks like a game of good cop / bad cop. Bad cop comes along beats the shit out you, and then good cop comes along to give you a cup of weak shit coffee as a consolation for your black eye and says something unconvincing about being unhappy with bad cop's behaviour, before letting bad cop back in to beat the shit out of you some more.
And for every cycle of that, bad cop achieves his goals while good cop just acts as a glorified tea lady that tries to make sure you don't have any hard feelings about bad cop.

Is there a "normie" or more mainstream instance for Lemmy?

shifted to the point where a double Sieg Heil at your president's inauguration is within normal discourse
Haha thank you. I'm not even American but to me it's pretty shocking to find out that this place, world of all instances, is too 'extreme' for people. Maybe I really am a dirty radical but I think that if people who consider themselves democrats are still fucking clutching their pearls about the left wing being too left wing while Elon Musk does open nazi salutes and trans people get their rights and dignity stripped away, then it's no wonder the USA is so fucked.
You guys clearly need a new political party because your choices are overt right wingers, or spineless right wingers that like to pretend they represent the left.
Edit: maybe the bad men will see the light if we all hold hands and sing kumbaya. I'm sure that all of the people who are already finding themselves victims to this will thank you for taking the high road and not scaring too many centrists.
Around the time I first started using this username about 7 or so years ago, I was playing through the Megaman Zero games, that take place approximately 100 years after the events of Megaman X, which take place during "year 21xx". So 'Zero22xx' specifically references the version of Zero from the Megaman Zero games.
On top of that, I also just thought it was a cool mix of letters and numbers that can look pretty random if you don't know the games, or if I'm not using a profile pic.
The only annoying thing is that at some point around the time I created this username, I started seeing an anime character called 'ZeroTwo' around. So I guess it could be mistaken that I'm referencing that too.
Someone needs to start keeping a central list of all corporations and organisations that have been rolling over like they've been waiting for this moment all their lives. Just to keep around as reminders, any time they decide to do a little rainbow capitalism or black history month marketing.
If the world, and especially the USA regains its senses, please all I ask is that everyone remembers exactly who these people are when they're begging for your money and support again.
Fuck no. The Americans provide 90% of our entertainment and they're actually fun people to interact with and chat with (the ones that aren't wearing MAGA hats that is). What am I gonna go without Americans on social media? Talk about fucking Table Mountain? Join the Europeans in looking down on the USA for everything and always acting like their own shit doesn't stink?
Fuck that, I'd start using VPNs.
