Ok 👍

Presumably what the other commenter was referring to is the US having the oldest codified constitution

I should go to the library more

Pleasure doing business, good sir

Oh sure, there’s definitely lots of valid criticism of rainbow capitalism, but to be clear, it’s not pride month itself that’s the issue there - it’s corporations leveraging it for profit

Did apple maps really not support walking until now?!

But the serious answer is because LGBTQ people have been systemically discriminated against in pretty much every country

Literally the next thing in my All feed is about the previous US president having a chill time with a man who proposed stoning gay people to death

Bold to go with the pro-auth-left take

I’m just going to ignore the long responses to stuff I didn’t claim in the first place

Okay but this isn’t “oh no, there are tankies around”, it’s the admin of one of the largest Lemmy instances systematically suppressing information about massacres and genocide.

There’s quite a big gap between banning “opinions you don’t like” and defederating from a systemically auth-left instance, in the same way that defederating from an auth-right instance would be a no-brainer.

I think the lemmy software itself isn’t so much the problem (in that it isn’t politically moderated), but the way he moderated his own instances make a fairly compelling reason for defederation

You had me for a moment there

So… cash?

Efficiency, efficiency, efficiency

Edit: don’t forget the fatphobia!

Well sure, but I don’t think anyone is seriously proposing matriarchy as the reasonable alternative to patriarchy

Gender equality, however, does imply a fairer society

That’s the maximum non-custodial sentence

Which bit did I make up?

Ah yes, because there definitely wasn’t some other common characteristic to the (not only leftist, as you carefully avoided mentioning) parties that were banned

Something like, I don’t know, supporting the country actively invading Ukraine, perhaps?

Make that bad boy unsigned, just to be safe!

Source?

Edit: so I figured I go investigate for myself and by “Ukraine” you mean random citizens involved in what was basically a civil war, the people in the building were using it as a fortress, and blockaded themselves inside, and by “people” you meant Russian separatist insurrectionists, who were firing from the building and throwing Molotov cocktails into the crowd below.
