No one is arguing that such actions are not a problem, I’m arguing that you’re usage of fascism is extreme.

Perhaps my interjection of a bit of reality into your perception of smut is making you want to commit some social-violence, yourself?

No, but if you feel that anyone who argues that you’re wrong wants to hurt you, you might need to go to therapy. You’re literally provoking “social-violence” because someone disagreed with you on the internet.

Perhaps being challenged on a topic you feel strongly about has made you a hypocrite?

Dude, that’s true of most fanbases though. Is the Taylor Swift fanbase fascist? Are the crazy people obsessed with barely legal actresses fascist?

When people like something a lot, they identify with that thing. Any attack on the thing they identify is an attack on them, and they feel like they have to defend it in proportion to how much they identify with that thing. Shame can come into play too; if they both identify heavily with the thing they like and are also ashamed of it, knowing it isn’t acceptable by society? Very intense reactions.

That’s just human psychology. These women have a fantasy they use to escape the reality they very much find unenriching. People do that with alchohol, drugs, and a whole list of other far more destructive habits.

I think its okay if a woman wants to read some smut, and understandable when they get upset when someone says something bad about their smut.

You’re going to have to elaborate on that one my dude. What?

I honestly really liked the book series. It got popular to shit on the series for being fucked up, but the guys in my group changed their tune when I asked them to read the gender-swapped version of the first book. “Naw, I get it now” was basically a universal sentiment.

Have any of you checked out the reviews on their site? The one’s in Dutch?

Hilarious. Almost none of the reviews are about the phone itself, but the promotions surrounding it, whether its available in certain stores, and my favorite, the font on the case.

I guess the phone is so awesome they have to think of other stuff to complain about. I just want to know if the phone is good!

imma be up your weird little alley 😏

I feel like I covered my bases with the rest of my comment there. If you have thousands of photos that you want to share, host them on your server and whitelist the people you want to see them :/

IRL I’ve never sent nor received more than a handful of pics at a time, and always through email. It would have never occurred to me that people are out there sending the whole family collection to each other digitally. Grandma hordes those pics for a reason; as leverage for people to visit her!

This guy didn’t want to do the leg work of emailing his photos to his friends, and declares self-hosting isn’t the solution to a social net? I totally see the point in community hosting, in fact I’m all for that.

But really? You don’t have to make your servers public facing, you just white-list the people you want to see your stuff and make sure to organize your drives with public and private pages.

He went through all that and didn’t take it far enough.

You’re making a sweeping general statement. Polygamy is just Polyamory taken to vows. There is a problem with a lot of the people that practice polygamy in an unethical way, but not polygamy itself.

This. When I was poly my friends and fam were cool with it, but they’re not religious. Every religious person I knew who found out was not too pleased with me.

That wasn’t the ask though? They were asking about polygamy in general…

Depends on the industry. In my industry, Email is king and text is Queen. Unless its a zoom call, it ain’t happening.

If you have one guy draw the knife over a long surface and distance, the other two can use that one slicing motion to cut the apples any number of times.

ONE STROKE, 99 cuts!

Kel, get off the Lemmy. You have work to do.

[EDIT: I do not know this person, I have no idea who they are. If their name IS Kel, it would be fucking hilarious]

All of you are hilarious. YOU WIN EITHER WAY. But all your calculations are wrong, because you can breathe fast and take small steps.

Are you really using the same arguments as big coal?

“You, the consumer, are the problem. Not us, no”, like consumers are killing the chocolate farmers. No, the people killing the chocolate farmers are killing the chocolate farmers. If you drive a car in the USA, you aren’t responsible for the 100 million tons of CO2 pumped into the atmosphere, or the millions of gallons of crude oil spilled into the ocean— companies like Exon and Shell are. You merely live in a country where automobile companies lobbied hard for cities to be built dependent on cars.

You had no say in that, just like you have no say in what produce is at your supermarket, or what baby formula, or what your kids favorite drink is going to be.

That’s like saying, “if you eat bannanas you endorse the murder and rape of south americans and the colonization of hawaii”. Shits just not true.

I think someone else already posted the information above about hosting your own account on a private server, so I won’t double dip there. But yeah, you totally could host your own server with accounts :)

Well ain’t that a sweeping generalization. Almost like it can’t possibly be true…

Bluesky is built on an open, decentralized protocol. There are appications that allow the AT protocol to federate with Mastodon, even. So yeah, move to Bluesky. Its not like Mastodon isn’t also a private company.

Literally anyone could build apps on top of the AT protocol to create a parallel Fediverse to the ActivityPub protocol Fediverse. Best case scenario is we fold them in.

This was by far the most fun thing I’ve read all day. I’m sharing this with my fam lol
