  • Welcome!

    I also moved over from Reddit, some time ago now, Lemmy is great if you don’t mind it being quieter and you’re not into super niche things.

    If you are into super niche things, definitely make those communities and begin fostering growth by posting, it’s what I’m doing for my home country of Wales, slow but steady and all that.

    Hope you enjoy Lemmy!











  • I can’t speak for everyone else, but I wrote about this exact thing recently (Rainbow Washing & False support of Pride by Corporations/Politicians for financial gain etc)

    I absolutely scrutinise all the other forms of corporate ass-holery too. The only difference, that I feel anyhow, is it’s considerably easier to point out the stark contrast between certain corporate actions during pride month, and their actions outside of pride month. It’s a unique situation where we haven’t been experiencing this for so long that it’s simply business as usual.

    For me, it’s not a question of hating pride and using this as a means to push through hateful rhetoric – It’s definitely just a case of tackling one thing at a time. Though I absolutely will concede that you’re more than likely correct in your assumption that social conservatives will attempt to hinder the pride movement by wrapping up their bullshit rhetoric and policy in social justice.



  • Pretty much this. People seem to forget that we few that value this level of browser privacy and security are an extreme minority.

    The vast majority of users just want it to work, without error. Some don’t even care that much about it being fast or slow once they’re entrenched in the system.

    Frankly I’m anti-lobbying, in an ideal world this shit would be illegal. But we’re not in an ideal world and this is not abnormal.
