Edit: also in case you want one more:

buzzword

Name one buzzword I’ve used pretentiously.

You’re being disingenuous, for example by equating the cybertrucks and some other Teslas being “destroyed” (sure in some cases but not by slices of cheese or notes) with any and all electric cars, or by equating the negative sentiment against Tesla with negative sentiment against any EV.

Alt National Park Service comes to mind. They’re doing incredible work

It is still a good reason not to use Ecosia, however.

Where is the threat which, if tolerated, will oppress everyone else?

The current US admin and other actual Nazis.

where are the Nazis, here?

I told you I don’t see any, here in this thread, and rarely if ever on Lemmy as a whole would I describe the behavior of others as “Nazi” or as you put it “Where is the threat which, if tolerated, will oppress everyone else?”, which is apparently what you think Nazi means?

Please, enlighten me.

Please enlighten me as to where I said there were any here. As I recall that was you, still waiting for that link.

My behavior being complaining something you don’t feel should be complained about

I did not and would not say that.

because you feel silence and complicity serves the LGBT community on Lemmy more than airing out the dirty laundry?

Yeah, that’s clearly consistent with my behavior and what I say here and elsewhere 🙄 fuck off troll

Where are the Nazis, here?

Luckily I don’t see many here (Lemmy), and if I do I am prepared to confront them in whatever way is required. Please point me in their direction if you know of any. I hope you’re not calling the people who are upset by this situation Nazis, because I haven’t seen any behavior that would warrant that and it would be very alarming and disappointing if that was happening here in a digital space I have come to feel safer in than most others, and would warrant an evaluation of what I am doing here, and I hope that I haven’t been spending my time reaching out and talking to and just associating with people who hold those beliefs.

A trans user was just harassed off the Fediverse by these people

I saw some of the comments that person was making. If they have to go somewhere else to learn how to respect spaces specifically curated by and for trans people that’s fine with me, I didn’t get the feeling they (or for that matter, you) were willing or able to do so at this point, at least in this specific case in the way that was asked.

And please don’t throw in my face again their (or for that matter, your own) marginalized status, it feels to me like it’s being used as some kind of gotcha or get out of jail free card, and that is disrespectful as much as most anything that I’ve seen* has happened in this thread.

I am hoping that by adding my perspective others might feel supported or safer here, and others yet will hopefully see that horizontal harm is a thing that we have to be aware of and identify and do the work to minimize, internally and externally (referring to both the harm and the work).

I’m bitching about people doing that.

I am not talking directly to anyone but you, and here, you are talking to me, please keep that in mind. It’s fine to complain and always good to speak out against harm coming unwarranted or unfairly to others, but I’m talking to you about your behavior.

Please feel free to reach out for further 1:1 discussion, or not if you do not want to. It’s about time we end the the perpetuation of harm in online and physical spaces and in the systems that we live under. Please also feel free to reach out for support with other efforts towards that goal or other similar ones.

Edited to add language to clarify a bit, if others feel like I’m wrong in my assessments and what I’ve said I am open to feedback, I’m not trying to deny anyone’s experience or minimize harm that has come to others. My goal is always to prevent and reduce harm and if I’m not doing that I would hope someone here would call me in.

You’re being obtuse and I hope when things cool down you’re able to see the harm this behavior is causing in this specific circumstance and also more generally. I understand that you probably have good intentions but I think you’re either very misguided, trolling, reacting without thinking through the impact of your behavior, or some combination of these things, and I do feel like the ban was warranted especially considering the fit you’re throwing. I have respect for the involvement you have in sustaining and contributing platform and the effort you clearly put into it, and I have seen you say things I really agreed with, but this is too much for me. This is not how you encourage left unity and safe and sustainable practices that support as many people as possible. I know you know about the paradox of tolerance.

If this is sarcasm I don’t find it funny. If someone thought you were serious you could reinforce that view in them, and this is obviously not okay to not just do but for a photo for social media it’s egregious. If you are being serious that feels like a bit of a “mask off” moment.

It seems like by detaching her current username from it, the name that was originally on the post tagging her appeared as it did originally, anyways that is what it seems like to me. Nice try lol 😂

Things people bought together: three different stand-up fridge-freezer combos

Source?

Lol but they are fine with reminding me constantly of the one time I bought syringes for “a friend” with addiction years ago.

Edit: to be clear I don’t use Amazon anymore as of last year and this is another good reason why.

What do you mean by that? What I meant is that the functions, capabilities, and permissions it has could enable it to do so.

My opinion on this generally boils down to that the system has been set up to reward evil/antisocial behavior, and this part of the system is so entrenched and well established and organized that it has not been effectively and completely toppled or eradicated in so long, it has been able to consolidate power and resources to a point where very few extremely evil people are personally in charge of so much of what happens that it seeps into everything. Actually “seeps” is the wrong word, it’s injected into everything. It’s like has been said many times in recent memory, the cruelty is the point.

For a simplified example, evil executives reward evil behavior by their managers, who in turn punish their employees, who lose control of so much of their lives to these companies and managers that they end up hurting their families and friends out of confusion and anger and other complex emotional reactions, and harm is perpetuated in every area of life.

It’s self sustaining, and even worse it replicates itself. In some ways I think of these systems as viruses. Also as cults. We all buy in to some degree.

Can you share a summary or a screenshot to make it more accessible please?

What about the “Android System Intelligence” app that someone else mentioned here? I just realized I have that one. It sounds like it has the capabilities to spy and maybe even more.

1 and 3 are not good reasons not to try something like this. 2 feels like bad faith because this isn’t either of those things, it’s a golf course. Less than a quarter of golf courses in the US are freely open to the public, and a quarter of them are members only. That’s thousands of golf courses that are taking up space/land and water and returning next to nothing of value to the community or the environment, or worse than nothing in many cases.
