They timed it right so that they fucked up both ways, in the browser and in the low end webn-connected phone market. They are clowns.

I suspect doing this on posts with less upvotes will push them up the queue, so if you see any under-rated posts go upvote and comment on them.

I’m moving to lemm.ee personally for similar reasons. I’m keeping the dotworld account as backup and may be creating communities here.

I’ll personally post as long as it’s relevant. Ideally it’s an interesting comment but not always. I stay away from reddit-type inane comments with no substance, though I’m sure they have their place here as well.

Some people might have made multiple accounts and chosen one possibly?

I’m definitely going to borrow it from a seafarer on the high seas in the future.

I’m not sure what pleasure you get from telling e.g. women that magic isn’t real, that astrology is bs, and that crystals are only pretty and don’t have special powers. If I were such an unfulfilled person, I’d resolve to get another hobby. Possibly environmentalism or something.
And I’m talking about people that are specifically chauvistic for a hobby and anti-intellectual. I’m not talking about the average normal person that dislikes Catholics or some other misogynistic elements of religion.

People like us in the wealthiest nations have no right to criticise Muslims as a group (if that’s even legitimate criticism, it isn’t) when we prop up the worst Muslims (Saudis and other Arabs) and have always worked against democratic, secular and relatively feminist and progressive elements in the Muslim world.
Your snide anti-intellectual new atheism is a cover for general snobbery and possibly a barely concealed racialised Islamophobia.

Faith is apparently on the rise (~84% of the world), and whether you like them or not they have to be worked with. Their culture and ideas will inform society whether we like it or not. By blinkering ourselves you’ll allow the worst opportunists to take advantage of both them and your ignorant selves.

Sadly it’s got the old smug ‘new’ atheists of old sort on here too.

Well you can’t control what other say, the only option is to ignore or tell them they’re rude.
And I’d argue an extreme position isn’t necessarily morally repugnant, and likewise racism is necessarily extreme. For example usury is a Christian sin, and having that crime abolished would achieve a moral good but it is an extreme position.
Btw I haven’t looked at many of your comments, so I can’t work out whether you’re a centrist (who calls positions outside the overton window extreme), or if you’re broadly a left-liberal euphemistically calling racism extreme.

Well, if you’re replying to somebody then they’re going to understandably assume it’s directed at their opinion, especially if you didn’t simply post a comment on a post and replied instead.
Otherwise if your opinion is part of a current contentious political debate, then it will attract arguement and the best you can do is assume it’s in good faith and try to counter the fundamental point they’re making - if you’re inclined to.

Lol I assume I probably disagree with his position, but has he actually stated it anywhere yet?

Well the basic rule of persuation is to state what you agree with already, I assume an arguement can be productive and civil if you follow a similar pattern. State your points of agreement, then the diagreement.

It all depends on whether you consider Mandela are terrorist.

no need to be passive aggressive.
Mate, you were confrontational in the first place lol, no need to tell the other guy to calm down, he’s not an idiot, he knows what you initially assumed of him obviously.

I personally like looking at the number of posts and comments I’ve made rather than karma (I can’t even see karma tbh, but iirc some apps can display it, it must be available under the hood somehow or the app is just calculating it idk).
