  • And how are women pushed out of “man jobs”?

    And how are we fixing that?

    Is it bosses that aim to have male coworkers turning down women? How is that different than bosses wanting artificially 50/50 turning down men?

    Is it not being represented in advertising? How is that different than what happens now. Where most advertising displays just women? Or if there is both a man and a woman, the woman is usually centered in the picture or doing a more important/powerful role.

    By “encouraging” women in the workplace, what you see is things being done to men that you complain was done to women.
















  • Yes, .ml are tankies. They don’t have power outside their instance though. You are from lemmy.world. which means .ml mods can only ban you from participating in .ml communities (subreddits). Thy can also ban you so other users of .ml can’t see your content. But the rest of the instances will see it.

    Blocking instances depends on what client you use. I use boost, and in boost you can block .ml communities from your feed. You can’t block content from .ml users though. I believe other clients allow you to block the users too.


  • If you want a wage. You want a job. You don’t give the product away for free.

    If you give a product for free and the only revenue source being donations, you have to expect most people won’t donate, which means you’ll probably get a way-below-average wage.

    It’s fine that they ask for donations. And it’s fine if people don’t pay them.

    If their goal was to have an actual wage, they should ask for a subscription in order to stay on the site. Or one-time payment. Or advertising.

    If the project is FOSS, it’s because their goal is not to have a good wage. Their goal is to have a job they enjoy and to have a product they want to have.



  • There are many reasons you would be against china.

    1. Not a democracy
    2. Helping Russia in the invasion of Ukraine
    3. Aims to invade Taiwan
    4. You always want some amount of local manufacturing. Relying on a single supplier is never a good idea in any context if you can avoid it.
    5. Helps north Korea
    6. Claims international and other countries waters for itself
    7. Uyghurs
    8. Tibet
    9. Many active border disputes due to territorial expansion aims.
    10. Secret police stations to enforce it’s laws outside china
    11. Hong Kong

    Low prices doesn’t justify any of that.

    And that (non-exclusive) list (except the 1st point) is only what affects people outside of china. There’s many other reasons to dislike the CCP that only affects the Chinese. Like mass surveillance and censorship.
