Reddit comment threads are currently just full of groupmind wankery. I like being on a platform where I don’t 100% agree with everyone and I don’t have to hold “sanctioned” opinions that are approved by a mod team of 3.
Spanish would be a good description of your ethnic background in that situation, but there are quite a number of ethnic identities within Spain as well - the Basque, Galicians and Catalans, just to name a few. “Spanish” isn’t a racial monolith. There would be plenty of people whose ethnic background looks quite different to yours but who are no less Spanish.
But none of that is mutable, is it?
This seems pretty well thought out.
I’m a little confused by: “A belief that race is an immutable genetic concept”. If I was born in Spain and my whole family has lived there for centuries, am I not Spanish / a Spaniard?
I’d agree that saying things like “all Spaniards are terrible at math” is racist, but I don’t see how one’s race is mutable in this fashion.
What’s your definition of a Nazi? A member of a national socialist party? I want to understand what is being banned before it’s banned.
Why WOULDN’T we move off if something better came along?
OK, if it’s so easy and the workers create all the value, those workers are free to start their own competing company and become the billionaires.
Because there are also CEOs and similar executives that do NOT fuck up and make billions for their companies. Big risk, but big reward.
brings jobs back to America
NOOO not THOSE jobs
This is the best analysis I’ve seen so far. The majority of posts I have seen say “reddit is an inch from death”, which isn’t even remotely close to accurate. A site can be a 3rd tier, boring, corporate-owned collection of content that has non-exciting revenue, but that’s not dead.
Reddit still has hundreds of millions of active users per month. They may have lost some people, but this many eyeballs has a huge potential for profit.
I would say it goes further than different, I’d say better, as no one is “covering up” anything over here.
Various subreddit moderators getting kicked out, the general mood on reddit, etc. It’s also nice to know it’s not censored on lemmy…
Taking bets:
I’m curious why this is classified as “losing battle”… seems pretty successful so far to me.
For better or for worse, news outlets care about engagement. “50th boat full of migrants lost this year” won’t get many clicks. “Billionaires in trouble under the sea” will. If you think these type of stories are under-reported, feel free to start your own blog or discussion forum.
Smaller domains are blocked all the time, ask your local email admin… just because you’re not getting messages about it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen
