I'll have to look that up, never heard of it. Looks bad.

How so ?

Yeah, I would recommend you ditch brave while you're at it : link

I do believe they meant ACAB (letters 1,3,1,2 in the Roman alphabet).

You talk about the "complexities of the subject matter". There are none. There is absolutely no legitimate reason for the aforementioned mod. It was only created as a dog whistle and a beacon for bigots. Rational discussion cannot and should not be had when one party is not acting in good faith. I see no legitimate reason to dispute that ban, do you ?

There is no name calling involved in calling a bigot a bigot. The whole "polite discussion" thing is at best a thin veneer of respectability slapped on an obvious dog whistle.

Free speech does not mean freedom of consequence and it is well within Nexus Mods's rights to not tolerate transphobia on their platform. I would even call that the bare minimum, actually.

If OP really wants honest and constructive discourse they should come out and actually express an opinion instead of hiding behind the fallacy of having "constructive" Interactions about whether or not fascism is ok.

Nah, let's skip to the part where Musk tries to move them using cheap labour and a screwdriver.

Wait ... we already had that.

Earthers had a garden and they paved it.

Yeah, this should be illegal. This is a monopoly on steroids funded by taxpayer money.

At this point I'm pretty sure even Satan sold his Elsevier stock out of ethical concern.

The EU is not any better on that front. Looking a you Elsevier and Springer.

I find it slightly ironic that you got your answer from an hexbear member.

I'd rather drive an old lada made out of depleted uranium than a Tesla.

I have. I actually defederated my instance from lemmit. But many users do not have that option, and user blocking can be tedious if the offending bots are many.

So you could say I am quite aware of Lemmy's basic functions, yes.

Yeah, that feedback loop is so intense it should be able to accelerate matter past the speed of light.

I don't think this is unpopular. Well, at least I hope it is not. Those bots are horrendous.

Yup, exactly.

We should not kid ourselves: this is, as you said yourself, a grandfather clause. This was meant to slightly appease religious people post 1905. The historical value argument is, in most case, rather moot. Plenty of non religious buildings are older and have arguably more cultural value and yet are not maintained with public money.

Besides, the spirit of laïcité is being completely subverted lately. I mean, on the one hand we hear discourse such as is quoted in this article, and on the other our president is still chanoine de Latran. You'd think such staunch defenders of the separation between church and state would take issue with holding a clergy title...

As an addendum, one should keep in mind that in 2017 Macron ran on a platform that heavily criticized the left's "obsession with laïcité". What is happening today is pure unadulterated opportunism.

Absolutely. But incidentally most religious buildings dating from before 1905 are catholic or protestant. So this is not neutral. And some of those buildings have no real historical value per se, at least not any more than any other random building from that era.

That bar is effing low though.
