I mean if you don't want others to get to it.

Or if say you want to participate on 2 seperate servers that don't federate eachother.

But in general a small hobby lemmy instance, can join all the communities on the large general purpose one. Hence, you are talking from a server I'm not familiar with, and we're talking in a discussion on the largest most general purpose instance.

Only reason I can think of is if you are really worried of people confusing you for say a [email protected], or something.

Followed by the fascist ripping it up. "DEI!"

The only "grain of truth" I would say to the "woke movies" claims etc... Is that sometimes, studios will use minority casting, as a substitute for coming up with a good story or doing anything actually original in the plot. IE a shit movie with a diverse cast is still a shit movie.

I would suppose it also ties down to the fact that, actually trying to represent more people as a push, also started around the time that, movie costs scaled up so much that investors aren't willing to go in on a movie that isn't a sequel or remake of something that everyone has already seen. Movies now are more diverse, and 90% of them are crap, but the correlation isn't causation, and that's demonstrable by the fact that movies that have all straight white characters, are as bland and unoriginal as the ones that the right blames DEI for why they suck.

But yes... in short DEI, affirmative action, and whatever they called it before has always been the scapegoat for why everything gets worse.

I'm losing track of all the tiplines... but IMO I think the ideal should be universally reporting republican representatives. Usually there's enough connection to make it even not super off the wall.

DEI, lets report every minority/female republican congressperson (especially the more they claim to be against DEI). Or even better flip the script on DEI.

IE Dan Cane was selected purely for his race, over clearly more qualified C.Q Brown.

Transgender, why not basely accuse anyone of being trans. (again more anti-trans people the better)

Communist sympathizers. "rich guys are re-distributing wealth from the poor to themselves".

Illegal immigrants: Well there's that south african guy who's actually literally managing what I used to consider an impossible stereotype of Taking our jobs, and being too lazy to work, and mooching off government programs

Best I can find links a sweedish page on the topic

It's kind of odd I can't find more sources which does make me a bit skeptical

No no... all wrong.

That suggestion seems to imply that they want to ban slavery, but want to hate anything with the word trans in it.

if they dislike anything with the word trans in it. So hating the slave trade, and hating trans people would go together not be oppositions.

Now if they like slave trade, but dislike trans, that creates the conflict.

Common sense... it's doge or trump... We've never seen mass attacks like this, all of a sudden a guy comes around bragging that he's going to cut the federal jobs like crazy, carries a chainsaw around boasting about cuts, calls every government service ponzi schemes and useless.

How dumb does anyone have to be to buy it if he says "oh that wasn't me". He can't even make a fall guy. You can't blame the democrats on this one... they don't have an ounce of power.

Bottom line is it's the handicap of trying to keep the system fair.

It's like the battle between Hero's and Villains... of which the hero keeps throwing the villain back in the same prison system/jails that they have escaped or manipulated their way out of 20 times before. Meanwhile every time they get close the villain gives his best effort to permenantly kill the hero.

Also sadly there's the part that seems to go the opposite direction in fictional hero/villain stories. We assume hero's are really good at uniting and working together. Villains are constantly going to be backstabbing eachother. Reality is, we can't agree on good, but damn did they come together and unify amazingly under a plan of horrors.

THE CRIPPLE PEOPLE JAR!!!!

that is true, probably the only way that you can know at least 2 good things. 1. You aren't encouraging any extra slavework to be done, 2. you are reducing waste (or at least increasing usage of what's already been made).

It's kind of the real annoying problem when it comes to wanting to buy clothes that aren't feeding sweatshops...

IE, you find clothes that are cheap, you immidiately know "well no way things are this cheap without labor abuses". But then at the same time you also are aware "just because it's expensive doesn't mean they don't also use the same labor abuses, just pocket bigger profit".

IMO I can only assume trump is setting up for rich stock traders... basically to have pump and dump wavey markets.

By threatening total economic collapse... postponing it at the last second. It's literally making the stock market a roller coaster. of which it will rise somewhat when postponed, fall when the date gets close... people could make a killing buying at the bottoms and selling at the ups.
