although I would prefer to see more secular politicians, if we are going to have a leader who’s religious its good to have more diversity so christians don’t gain too much of a majority

everyone here is a leftist nerd, and the united states is at risk of falling under right-wing fascism.

not rage bait, genuinely asking because thus far i’ve only heard of other “computer nerds” using Lemmy in any capacity.

My dad looks at Reddit for advice on fixing our washing machine and similar stuff. And I’ve got friends that use it as a slightly more text-based pinterest

yeah, there’s a decent amount of people that use Reddit’s popular subs that aren’t terminally online.

a nerd. I’m just wondering because I’d like it know if any normal people are leaving Reddit to use Lemmy. doesn’t look like it.

Maybe my opinion is influenced by my geographic position. I never would have imagined that many people of my generation support him. Where I live, saying you like Andrew Tate would be like saying you support Putin, maybe worse.

I understand the intentions behind it, but I’ve never given a crap when someone sends me a dick pic. I just block them and move on with my day. It just seems like people in this comment section over react to this. (the other stuff is fucked up though)

When I said it’s “bound to pop up” I was talking specifically about the online communities mentioned. I don’t disagree that there are systemic problems but I think that they were focusing on a specific and small subset of a larger problem.

I might be wrong about this, correct me if that’s so. but because most men aren’t rapists, yet a surprisingly high number of women get sexually assaulted/raped, It seems like the problem is not that most men are predators, but that our society is letting the minority that are get away with it repeatedly.

its weird and gross to do, but like how is seeing people naked so bothering to you people?? would a nude beach cause you to have a brain hemorrhage?. if I see something like that it doesn’t hurt me mentally somehow??

99% of men are disgusted by this type of thing, but with billions of people and instant communication. this type of thing is bound to pop up. and because normal people aren’t looking at this type of thing, they’re echo chambers of degeneracy. but it really bothers me when people use sex based generalizations for things like this. millions of people isn’t very much on a global scale.

yes, the country famous for being accepting of foreigners, that is also known for a high standard of living…

This can’t be the timeline I’m living in.

oh, so everything a leftist does is terrorism now, but when right wingers break into the capital building by force its “freedom of speech”
