Sure looks antisemitic. For example:

• Saying Jews are immune to COVID
• The "14/88" tweet, which appears to be two dogwhistles in one

I love me a movie that can carry itself through aesthetics alone!

Take On Me because the rotoscoping work is amazing, and now more movies need to embrace it.

• closest movie: Cool World, which is basically an avant-garde music video of its own, with people transitioning between the 2D and 3D worlds

Turbo Killer because it has fast cars, violence, and Satanism

• closest movie: Rock and Rule, set in a furry cyberpunk dystopia "where magic and technology collide", featuring glowing pentagons and shiny (not as fast) cars
• second closest movie: Nicolas Cage's Mandy. Just wait for it...

Did you figure it out?

For me, leaving the community was enough (but I don't really want to have to do that, just to keep it from appearing at the top of my New feed!)

Out of all the bad things you can say about Mastodon drama and moderation issues...

It's pretty cool the phrases "don't use this instance" and "follow people on this instance" can coexist.

Because of federation, the admins of an instance besides your own don't even get to peep your IP addresses.

You can go to your server's Hot or Trending section and just start following big accounts, and from there find people in replies to various interesting posts to follow. Maybe.

You can also follow hashtags on there!

He comes up from time to time in Coffeezilla videos. We can all learn something from analyzing grifters and grifts from a bird's eye view.

He seems nice but

1. "Thoughts" posts shouldn't be used to introduce content on Ask communities, IMO
2. There are a few video-related communities where this would fit much better, if it hasn't already been posted on them

If bots actually do start frequenting Reddit, and they get hard to detect, the AI content generation will start poisoning itself. Isn't that cool?

That's because JT Chapman is a rich white guy who reviews luxury cars and hides behind MLK quotes. Why make the world better for people who aren't him?

Despite allegedly caring about class issues too, I wonder how JT feels about Biden's latest speech, which was strongly pro union

That pesky "almost".

IDK if quoting Malcolm X makes your quote automatically correct. For example

Israel is basically Americas proxy in the middle east

It wasn't until too recently that I realized this, and it rapidly dispels a whole lot of neo-nazi propaganda that I heard early on in my life (WAY more effectively than "hating Israel is antisemitism" or some BS)

I think I'm going to piggyback off inspiration of your question and ask my own, something like: "Enbies, how do you prefer partners or others refer to/about you?"

BTW, sorry for misunderstanding the goal of your post, but I appreciate your (and others') replies here.

I should have seen this coming a mile away

My personal recommendation is to drop the extra title entirely. For everybody.

E.g. instead of saying "great work man" just say "great work." It could help you prevent flubs later.

I do wish I knew some non-binary singular terms I could use, but none come to my mind

"Buddy" elicits so many conflicting feelings in me.

You're asking about a collective and also a singular...

Just in general I'd say that if you're trying to quit a habit around trans women, go the extra mile and quit it around cis ones too. For the collective "hey guys" I have no one-word replacement ("folks/folx" sounds equally southern and somehow more cringe), but you could replace the whole phrase with "hey everybody", "hi gang", "how are you all", or just "hey".

When speaking to any woman, I would advise against calling them "dude" or "man." Full stop. No further thoughts necessary on that one.

Same 😊
