Oh huh, I was not aware of the existence of that one. Looks like the mod has abandoned it, though it’s peaceful enough for now. Wonder if SJW has a way to transfer communities?

Nah you’re overthinking it. Grab a beginner friendly distro like Mint and just start using it. All this is fanboy talk that can be interesting but doesn’t affect 99% of users.

Sync here loads the pic in full res, no pixellation

I’m using sync myself, but I think most of the lemmy apps have the feature by now

Try sync, there’s a multitude of block options. By instance, domain, user, community, etc.

On a side note, aside from our other ongoing discussion:

I’m a believer that at some point, we need to let go of the origin of things and embrace their current meaning. Language evolves. So do other cultural aspects. Just because something was once offensive doesn’t mean it has to be that way forever. And I say this as a PoC.

Why on earth are you focusing so much on the Nazis

Because that’s what the entire article you linked was about! Why were you even linking that if you don’t agree with what they’re saying? It’s like you didn’t even read it before posting 😓 Fine, dropping the dang article and moving on.

My point, which you haven’t actually addressed so far, is that caricature has always been around. Maybe not witches, but other things. Given that, it’s extremely western-centric to assert that all caricature today is rooted solely in antisemitism. It has roots far older and further back than that.

At this point I’m not clear what you’re trying to say. You’re contradicting the article which you linked to yourself. The article states that these imagery only started being associated with the Jews during the Nazi era. You claim otherwise.

I am saying they have their ROOTS in antisemitism

How can caricature, which has been around for millenia, have its roots in antisemitism? Especially in the context of Eastern cultures which couldn’t give a shit about Jews and the Holocaust. One century, we were all making fun of each other, but the next century we were copying the Nazis?

Unless you’re claiming that hooked noses and other ugly physical characteristics were never used before the Nazis, which I very much doubt, what basis do you have for claiming that ALL such portrayals today are antisemitic? The world does not revolve under Israel. It is possible for other cultures to have aspects that, believe it or not, do not relate directly to western culture.

Maybe in the west, but we do it in Asia, and we couldn’t care less about Jews.

Not a transcript, but probably even better.

Maybe read what the Chinese people in China are saying.

But how many MAU did Rohan have?

I was, till lemmy got some decent mobile apps

Eh

Ah I thought somebody mentioned they got defederated. Probably my bad

Lemmy.ml as a whole got defederated I believe, which I can at least understand

The NYT is one of the biggest, most recognised publications worldwide. If they don’t meet your requirements, I don’t think that’s a realistic expectation

adding over 7 million people is what’s important

It is not. When dealing with statistics, percentages are the only thing that matter.

If it was a country like Canada, with a population of less than 50 million people, that would be problematic.

Losing 15% of your population on a yearly basis isn’t problematic, it’s species-ending catastrophic.

But with a population pool of 1.5 billion, what’s the actual concern? What social instability does this cause that a population of 1.5 billion already doesn’t?

To put it in perspective, that’s the same population loss ratio that japan is currently experiencing. Japan, the country that’s teetering on the brink of cultural and societal collapse from an aging population.

There will never be too few people in China

Yeah this sums up the problem fairly well. You’re so stuck in your personal opinion of china’s population that you can’t imagine for a moment the situation changing, regardless of what the data might be saying. You’re no better than the people who refused to believe climate change was occurring. Fuck your gut instinct, pay attention to the actual numbers.
