For all your boycotting needs. I’m sure there’s some mods caught in lemmy.ml’s top 10 that are perfectly upstanding and reasonable people, my condolences for the cross-fire.
- !memes@lemmy.world and !memes@sopuli.xyz. Or of course communities that rule.
- !asklemmy@lemmy.world
- !linux@programming.dev. Quite small, plenty of more specific ones available. Also linux is inescapable on lemmy anyway :)
- !programmer_humor@programming.dev
- !world@lemmy.world
- !privacy@lemmy.world and !privacyguides@lemmy.one
- !technology@lemmy.world
- erm… search yourself for a good comic sub, only alternatives seem to be small, specialised, and I am blissfully ignorant about comics. Aside from the obvious search terms there’s !eurographicnovels@lemm.ee
- !opensource@programming.dev
- !fuckcars@lemmy.world
No, I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and I do not fully disagree. But I think context matters. I like tanky because it helps people understand the dangers of the ideology more than other alternatives like communist or Marxist-Leninist or whatever. Is there more danger of violence against tankies or that their ideology may grow and cause violence against others? Right now I perceive the latter to be a bigger issue, and I don’t see any real risk of harm coming to them, at least in the social circles where my words have influence.
If there was a movement that sought to do physical harm to them (outside of a defensive context) then I would weigh that appropriately in my language. The term is a tool of persuasion and I deem that persuasion more important than any risk of dehumanization, which I do oppose and recognize as harmful.
I can see your point. Sadly we have ample evidence that others have thought the same about such terms and they have a bad precedent.
So thanks for discussing this in good faith. I like the way we discussed this as it often isnt what happens with others.
Have a good one. :)
Nice discussion
