Lemmy’s got some cool communities like !truecomics@midwest.social that don’t exist on Reddit, so I’m happy

The founder is Dutch, it’s hosted in Finland, and the hosting company is German

those who fought against it

Did they do more than just vote?

Reminds me of the “make an angry child laugh” trick. Which I absolutely loathed as a child, because it worked but it also wasn’t taking my emotions seriously.

I think you just killed ten French people

Seems like this new one is only for the US though, so it’s not a complete replacement

Like a person living in a tent made from hide and bones

Nah, he’s just a film buff

Hey now, they also eat fermented shark

…yes? Why wouldn’t it be

The lemmy.world thread reminds me of a similar “racism on the fediverse” thread, and the occasional thread about misogyny (dismissive, uninterested and/or personally offended)

I wonder if a news community with a “no mentioning the US” rule would work. Not out of any hate, just as something arbitrary like “don’t use the letter E”.

It’s hosted in Finland, by a German company, and has Dutch admins. Was that your point?

Edit: bonus, the Lemmy devs get paid from a Dutch grant and the ones whose nationality I know are not from the US

… the average Westerner also has access to the internet? At most, maybe it excludes those who don’t speak English

Tons of people speak English as a second language, on the internet

Democratic socialism (DemSoc) is a specific term (not to be confused with SocDem). Unless your point was that DemSoc is a bad term?

What’s next, reacting with 👍 is actually totally fine and positive?

Ah good, they found a woman to blame

This would fuck me up for life

Maybe it’s an accident but you left out your fellow students and the teacher, in my eyes the most useful resources
