Here from /all, don’t own a 3D printer, but if I did, yes I absolutely would lol

Maybe change it up with some more modern/abstract/famous faces though, the Greek statue look would get old fast… But planters are so expensive for what they are, being able to print my own would really feed my failed plant addiction (I’m no good at actually keeping them alive but I can’t stop buying more) 😂

Yup, but only when it’s something those clowns disagree with, like excluding Nazis or corporations.

Now, excluding people from protected groups, who need to be protected in the first place because of the groups the clowns endorse and defend, they’re more than happy to fight for that…

And conveniently enough anyone who disagrees with them is a traitor they don’t have to listen to, and voilà - built in shield against any criticism or the pointing out of just how massive their hypocrisy is…

How exactly is anyone being strong armed?
A single, privately run index site (which, to be clear, I have never even visited, let alone have any affiliation with) doesn’t want to publicise certain instances.
If anything, forcing them to index instances they don’t want to would be the strong-arming.

Bigots everywhere, and you can’t get rid of them, only hide their content from yourself…

I’ve not been on bluesky, and don’t doubt it’s worse there, but tbf we have a growing problem with bigots and trolls on kbin/lemmy too, and we can’t do much more than block here either…

Ah, well, I don’t know anything about that stuff, but good luck!

Let go of your need to see everything and just find a space you’re comfortable in and enjoy browsing, surely it’s not that deep?

Lmfao, way to deliberately miss the point and make some completely irrelevant examples since neither vegans nor BBQ chefs, nor Java programmers are marginalised groups of people who need to be protected (and even if they were, you’d still need motherremoveding moderation to keep them that way). But good to know where your head is at lol 🙄

And you’re right - you can’t make a safe space for everyone, because to make a safe space for most you have to not only exclude fascists and “regular” bigots, but make sure they don’t have a safe space to exist in, because they will crawl out of it looking to abuse others. They always do.

Your “blind eye” bullremoved just enables them, being outside of your perception doesn’t mean they don’t exist and aren’t causing harm to other, actually marginalised people.

But hey, since the fascists don’t bother you, then I guess we’re ok… 🙄🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I can’t speak for others, but my downvote is because this post reeks of “free speech” enthusiasm. People looking to create a space they don’t need to moderate and where people don’t need to “walk on eggshells” is just the dog whistle way to say bigots who don’t want to get called out or banned for their bigotry.
And you can tell, because if someone wants to create a genuinely safe space for everyone, moderation is an absolute necessity.

I’m on kbin but liked a couple of the feddit.uk magazines, so it’s a shame to see them go… Will keep an eye out for updates, best of luck!

Amazing, it only took you 2 comments to land right on genocide denial, unprovoked.
You’re a tankie, defending other tankies, and tankies aren’t communists, nor are you on the left, since you clearly aren’t in support of freedom and equality for all, never mind the rest of it, just more of the same bullremoved - authoritarians co opting leftist ideas and language to grab power. Tale as old as removeding time…

Just to back up comrade @commie, let me copy pasta myself:

In reality overpopulation is a myth and rather population decline is a real concern in many countries.
Now of course we can talk about who this concerns and why (under the current system? It concerns those who need workers to exploit, white supremacists looking to “overturn” the “great replacement”, in some cases both, and it also concerns the aging population that will end up with very little support, something which wouldn’t be as big an issue if we had stronger communities, but alienation and all that jazz, as well as the fewer workers who will remain to keep the economy going for minimal pay as they get bossed around by AI, because capitalism), and also about who pushes the overpopulation myth and why, but the bottom line is - the population isn’t and never has been the problem (we already produce enough food to sustain everyone alive today and then some), it is capitalism and it’s dependence on creating infinite growth in a finite world, at the expense of everyone and everything on the planet (themselves included except for the handful who will end up in orbit or whatever. And then die) that is the problem, and what we need to get rid of if we want to stop this dystopian spiral.

Meanwhile I can still try to introduce more vegetarian meals to my diet.

Again - solely in service of your own ego, they still killed the same amount of animals that day.

It’s how capitalism works, they’re happy to throw the dead animals away, you’ve still spent your money in their supermarkets (which is perfectly fine, there is no ethical consumption under capitalism because they’ve given you no choice), and haven’t made a dent to the actual problem or moved even a nanometre closer to solving it.

Yes, the solution is in regulations and criminalization of polution by corporation

lol, no.
The solution is in abolishing capitalism and building a sustainable society that isn’t built on exploitation and oppression as well as the rape of the planet.

But you should still recycle.

If you really want to, but you’re only serving your own ego, no one else, and definitely not the environment (because in the time you spend recycling, not to mention the time patting yourself on the back, and then the feeling like you’ve done your part so you don’t have to take any more action, the corporations running the plant let out another hundreds of times more pollution than you could ever recycle).
But hey, you get to tell yourself you helped, and that’s what really matters, right?

E: and just to be clear because I know how people love missing the point:
I’m not advocating you litter or pollute or make things deliberately worse, I am saying - spend your time doing something effective (fight capitalism, not its symptoms, build solidarity and community in whatever way you can and is beneficial locally) instead of wasting it to serve no real purpose.

😂
I’m leaving it, we can all use a little chuckle scrolling through this boring dystopia of a thread lol…

E: also, clowns is still technically correct for many of them, so… ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Even just add private jests on to this, it would make all the other columns disappear…

You should recycle regardless of the impact size compared to not having a child.

except like 90% of recycling just goes in to landfill anyway.
And even if it didn’t, your personal waste would be dwarfed on comparison to the industrial pollution corporations and militaries produce.

But hey, keeping you recycling and feeling like you’ve done your part is a great way to make sure you don’t take aim at the root of the problem and those causing it.

Furthermore, this creates a feeling that some actions are nearly meaningless.

They are.

There’s very good reason that private jets for example aren’t on there, never mind the industrial stuff - they would make the points we see here completely invisible by comparison.

Some may say I am childless so I can fly 3 times a year and have a lower impact than this family with two kids.

both would have insignificant impact in the grand scheme of things.

This is just more shifting responsibility to those who aren’t by those who are, to ensure they can continue undisturbed.

*I don’t mean killing them, just tax them to oblivion.

For anyone still not paying attention - they will never ever let us do the one (they are literally planning their lives underground or in space for when the planet is no longer liveable, why anyone would think they would ever do anything to benefit anyone but themselves truly is beyond me), leaving us no choice but to resort to the other.
