  • One time I posted a meme on a Blahaj community I moderated where someone named Obvious_Troll@hexbear.net was being transphobic. Ada, the instance owner, private messaged me to say I needed to redact the username or my post would be removed. She said Obvious_Troll is a real, trans Lemmy user and I’m not to attack them. There is no user called Obvious_Troll, I made that username up for the meme. Ada defended a fictional transphobic troll because they were from Hexbear.

    Lemmy has a serious admin problem.



  • I disagree. Look at the time Justin Roiland was accused of false imprisonment, and they replaced Rick and Morty. It went great, the new Rick and Morty sound perfect. Now look at how Marvel dragged their feet on replacing Jonathan Majors and eventually decided to just ignore all their Kang foreshadowing and replace him with Dr Doom. It sucks, they should have just recast him.

    Recasting allows newer and less well known actors to break into an entertainment industry dominated by sequels, adaptations, and franchises. They reduce the capital held by big time actors who are already far too rich. Recasting is good.

    The development of a country is measured not in how many of the poor own cars, but in how many of the rich use public transit

    Taylor Swift should be getting to her concerts by high speed rail. If she needs privacy, she should book a private car. A service which would be available to anyone willing to pay extra.

    It’s downvoted because Biden is honest about his problems with his speech impediment. There’s no “haha gotcha” to be had from making fun of a person who openly has a disability. If the president were someone in a wheelchair, would you make fun of them for not being able to walk?

    Trump is a valid target for mockery because he refuses to admit he has a problem, and he’s built his brand off mocking marginalised people including the disabled. This is picking on a bully. Also Trump doesn’t have a speech impediment, he has a thought impediment, and thought is actually necessary for a president, which is what he’s trying to be. Biden already stepped down from the race.

    Everyone will clap if you make fun of a bully who’s trying to regain the power he can use to bully more people. Not many people will clap when you make fun of a person who identifies as disabled and already plans to quit his job due to it.
