I do IT for a non profit. Luckily, it's one that is funded by membership dues so I don't have to fundraise, which includes a ton of advertising and the like. True, I'm not making bank like a lot of folks in IT. But my peace of mind is intact. I make a good living, and feel good about what I do. Jobs like mine are out there, but when you're a student all you hear about is the vast amount of money you can make quickly by selling your soul to amazon or whoever. If you keep at it, there is a path in IT that does not include losing sight of your values. Good luck!!

So do you want to ban the topic then? What do you suggest?

I'm super confused by this post. It's on everyone's mind and all over any media, of course people are talking about it. No doubt it will simmer down, or be replaced by the next huge geopolitical event. I don't see an issue, and am unclear on what this post is even about. What are you wanting to happen?

Which terrorists? The Israeli ones or the Palestinian ones?

Not the highest, but one of my favorites is Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden.

So glad to see this sentiment supported on beehaw. It's a shame that people equate the two.

Unreal. The original single player game. I would die if they did this.

Interesting, I'm on kbin and beehaw and have not had the same issue while browsing either. And I'm on them pretty frequently. I'll see a few here and there but not like you're describing. Is it mostly when browsing new? At any rate, just wanted to put it out there that I don't think defederation is necessary, as it is not a problem for everyone. Though I'm struggling to come up with a solution as your point is valid to not want to see that stuff. Here's hoping someone smarter than me can come up with something!

Beehaw is such a special effort. I am so regretful that people have to be subjected to the darkest parts of humanity in order to protect the beehaw project. I don't need images. If that is the necessary course of action, then so be it.

Most importantly, I am so sorry to you as one human to another. I'm sorry you saw that. I'm sorry humans are hurting each other like that. And I'm sorry that your good faith efforts have been taken advantage of.

I do so good during the week, and then go crazy on weekends. Working on a middle ground is proving to be tough lol.

Lessons learned in school are often social in nature. Learning that queer people exist, and that they should be treated with respect is an incredibly valuable lesson.

Beehaw is wonderful and I will follow wherever it ends up. I have another lemmy account, and accounts on other sites for when I'm looking for memes and nonsense.

Me too. I struggle to see why so many don't want to use this option.

What a lovely, high effort comment. Thanks for taking time to respond so earnestly.

I feel this one. We have a partner who says "you know" before and after almost everything he says. It's so distracting that I can barely hear what he is trying to say. I now do my best to avoid interacting with him or his team in any way.

Such a nice read, thanks for sharing! I would love for these types of programs to become the norm as opposed to the outlier.
