Technology

get fucked bigot

I'm with you on the "they're not Nazi thing"

I think a Lemmy is being a version targeted radicalization for certain groups.

But still I think you're wrong that we can separate technology from this political stuff right now. It's not separate. Technology is the medium that groups are using to spread this stuff. It's important and interesting to see how they're doing it.

Content should focus on the tech side of it. And also why be angry at the side that's just trying to protect their freedoms here. If it wasn't for the people trying to limit their freedoms, we'd never hear of this stuff.

The issue isn't people trying to identify as another gender. It's the people saying no they can't and then abusing their power and influence to do it.

Just your garden variety bigots and assholes then?

Also, I think you should read up on what facisim is and why it's being so widely used right now as highly oppressive rhetoric is being pushed from many far-right leaders throughout the world.

Seems like you are getting downvoted, but I agree with you that nowadays people use words like nazi and fascist very loosely. I'm very sure that a large part of the people can't tell what nazi or fascist really is without looking it on Wikipedia.

Hey. I'm learning Spanish, I'm a volunteer, and I run and cycle on the regular!

Somehow, that doesn't stop you sounding like a bigot though...

This is an unhelpful and condescending comment. It dismisses the meaningful activities people engage in online as "not life": self expression, creating art and community, working, socializing, enjoying entertainment, and learning new things. It proposes a false dichotomy wherein not-online is utopic with universally accessible activities and, especially, an absence of the very same people who make online spaces toxic hellholes. They are present in "real spaces" too. These are not mutually exclusive things. You are likely to find that pro-social activists online are often try to be pro-social activists in person as well.

That being said, I agree that people get terminally online and that balancing digital and physical lives are important. Managing attention and mental health are important, especially when content about important and meaningful topics turn into viral and incessant feeds that are geared to overwhelm human brains that weren't evolved to handle such constant cognitive/emotional stress.

Take care out there folks.

What else am I going to do when I'm stuck in an office 10 hours every day?

No thanks.
