That or they overcorrect.

On a pretty popular leftist Lemmy instance (Hexbear), you need to provide a trigger warning for “an ableist slur” if you’re posting a screenshot or quoting something that says the word “stupid”. Pretty sure you’re not allowed to say it in any other context (even for example calling the EU Kids Act “stupid”) or you’ll get banned for “ableism”.

Wow, a Lemmy meme that’s that recent?

I thought the minimum age of memes to be posted here is at least a decade.

I’m not. I’m just saying that a lot of “invisibly” disabled people with (often undiagnosed) learning disabilities etc. are called stupid all the time, and reading something like that would really hurt them.

This is an anecdote, I understand that I’m “arguing” here from the heart and I’m not looking to win any legitimate debate, which would be impossible since I unexpectedly got dogpiled this hard while I was asleep before I had a chance to say this, but anyway:

I watched this small streamer for some time, and even became her moderator. She would just not understand a lot of things, at all, and she was completely unaware how some things could offend other people, until I explained them to her and she felt really bad for saying them while not knowing the real meaning. She cultivated this audience of reactionary people, because they thought she was one of them because she accidentally said a whole bunch of edgy things. But let me emphasize this: she never wanted to hurt anyone, she always felt bad for saying hurtful things on accident and always deeply apologized when she realized she was being hurtful.

Eventually, I had to quit, because the audience was too much for me. She was a great person, but I didn’t feel welcome due to her viewers and eventually stopped watching her. She felt really bad that I didn’t feel welcome, but there was really nothing that could be done without me banning like a third of her community. We stayed as friends for some time, and she opened up how sad she was about people calling her stupid all the time “because she wouldn’t understand some things” (in reality she had issues understanding basic things all the time).

When I saw that comment, I thought of her, already really upset by people calling her stupid, reading that and being like “stupid people are gross? and everyone calls me stupid… does this mean… :(”.

Calling stupid people gross seems kind of ableist.

Slap a second screen on it and call it Nintendo Dual Switch.

That’s great to hear! Did they offer any lingonberry jam though?

you’ll only see posts there from your own instance users.

That doesn’t appear to be the case.

This doesn’t seem like defederation. Something weird is going on.

edit: Never mind, dbzer0 defederated from feddit 7 months ago. But why are some posts and upvotes getting through?

Same in Finland!

I’ve never tried the British stuff, but our blood sausage is pretty good. Goes very well with lingonberry jam. :)

Scandinavian

Half of the countries listed are Finland and Estonia lol.

Veganism is not a diet. I think this is the source of your confusion.

I don’t understand why you are so against using the accurate and more flexible term “plant-based” instead of “vegan”.

Why do you insist on bastardizing veganism? I don’t get it. Like I told you earlier, labels matter and this just breeds confusion on what’s vegan and what’s not. People already are confused about veganism because of nonsense like this. Just call it “mostly plant based” and call it a day.

Have you heard anyone say “almost halal” or “almost kosher”? No?

This is just as ridiculous.

I just checked another sublemmy from dbzer0 on your instance and almost all posts are missing.

Something is fucked with your instance.

The follow up since OP didn’t post it here yet:

“Veganism” is total abstinence from animal products.

Something is either vegan or it’s not. It’s completely binary. Either it contains animal based products or it doesn’t.

Food that is mostly plant based is way better for the environment and animals than your average meat and dairy based meals, but it’s just not “almost vegan”. Labels have meanings and it should be like that so there’s no confusion.

No, I’m not thinking of veganism.

This is just the mentality that I’ve heard from many vegetarians.

Yes, of course, but I’ve always thought of vegetarians as people who don’t eat anything that comes from a dead animal.

Monster Racer for the PS1.

It’s a beyond horrible Crash Team Racing clone, but it hit the spot when I was a small kid and wanted to play a racing game and wanted something that’s not CTR. I only had a few games at the time.

Oh, and it somehow became a somewhat popular meme in the retro Playstation speedrunning community, so that’s a bit funny. :D

I’m not sure how blood is compatible with vegetarianism.

High amounts of caffeine. Increases blood pressure.

Same goes for coffee too.
