What I don’t understand is people need to hate it publicly and not simply just block it
Probably the same motivation as the need to promote it publicly and not alone bye oneself, wouldn’t you agree?

The hell is this article?
My thought, exactly. I forced myself to read it in its entirety but next time I see a link to their website I probably won’t be bothered.
- Comment on Tool to identify poisonous books developed by University of St Andrews 2 weeks ago:
It could be that but more than the discourse or the word it’s to the written word they seem to be averse to. They don’t mind words/talks, quite the contrary. To me it looks like they not do not read but more and more often express sincere hate toward books.
- Comment on Cancel Lemmy - A piefed community to discuss Alternatives to and moving away from Lemmy 2 weeks ago:
If I’m all for discussing and criticizing, the ‘Cancel’ part is most certainly not something I’m interested in or would want to be a part of. Maybe it’s just a poor naming choice?
- Comment on Tool to identify poisonous books developed by University of St Andrews 2 weeks ago:
Conservativism?
If only ;)
Alas, I see that allergy spreading absolutely everywhere and more and more people calling on book (and author) banning for whatever ‘good’ reason they may have. That’s a dangerous allergy, akin to the allergy to the ‘other’, that may very well be fatal to any democracy no matter the political side one stands for.
- Comment on Tool to identify poisonous books developed by University of St Andrews 2 weeks ago:
Arsenic was historically mixed with copper to create a vivid green for book covers, which can irritate modern day readers
A lot of books do irritate modern day readers, to say the least, and they need to contain no arsenic for that. Words are more than enough.
What would be the name for a quickly spreading allergy to words?

I can’t resist mentioning your fellow (or should I say foe?) blood takers community, !vampires@lemmy.zip
Sorry (partly, at least) for my silly humor, and welcome :)

this, or maybe take it to a repair shop to replace it’s battery and maybe the USB port as well.
yep, if at all possible that would be a better idea.
- Comment on Looking for some (re-)use cases for older Android smartphones 5 months ago:
I would not keep any device with a fully exhausted battery just because a battery in a good working condition can already be a fire hazard. So, a depleted one who knows how it can reacts? I would properly dispose of it by recycling it.
- Comment on Do you refrain from participating to a community if it's hosted on Lemmy.ml ? 8 months ago:
I refrain from participating in and even from looking at any community that generates anxiety and/or anger, or that encourage or don’t oppose what I consider destructive or hostile behaviors. I consider time too precious to waste mine with the kind of persons who enjoy those things.
It is not related to any specific place, though. It’s mostly a question of the persons participating and of the moderators.
