First it's black helicopters, now it's Haitians.

I'm afraid to ask what's next.

Have you considered beehaw? Their primary focus is to "be nice"

It's a Stepford kind of "nice".

For example, I once referred to a bigoted minister as a “moron” and was accused of using "ableist" language.

After a couple more similarly annoying incidents, I left.

Along with electronics, Panasonic also made bicycles for the North American market until the late 1980s.

And I think Kawasaki still makes vehicle audio systems.

Maybe "we" shouldn't be so intrusive; this is a perfect example of Hexbear-style behavior that pisses people off.

I provided plenty of context in my comments above.

Sympathy cards might become the "rule" for our election days here in the States.

Remember when Joe Biden acknowledged his age, promised to only run for one term, and then make room for the next generation of Democrats back in 2020?

Yes, I do.

if men giving birth was possible

...abortion would be a sacrament.

When I mentioned the distro that I use in the Linux community there, I got a bunch of sarcastic replies because OMG it looks like Windows.

To be fair, the person I had mentioned before seemed reasonably intelligent but unreasonably hostile.

It's because they, too, have been captured by The Big Club.

Look, I really appreciate your numerous posts and comments in the RedditAlternatives subreddit, promoting Lemmy.

As for me, it's Discuit and local Lemmy feeds because I prefer that village vibe.

but it might be helpful if rather than just alluding to some comment that got deleted, you posted what the actual content was.

I can't recall the exact wording of my comment, but the gist of it was that three celebrities were protesting an attempt to bar Israel from a music contest because of the ongoing genocide. I pointed out that the three celebrities were Jewish, so it was kind of cynical for them to do that. Those who upvoted understood what I meant, but then someone else accused me of antisemitism -- because I didn't specifically identify them as "Zionist".

How am I supposed to know whether they're Zionist? As far as I know, they've never publicly identified themselves as such, and it could be perceived as offensive if I did.

I notice you didnt mention being banned.

No, I wasn't. Hopefully you've read the two items I had posted before, which pretty much validated how I felt about what I'd experienced, and why I left.

Listen, if you like Hexbear, fine; that's your business. I don't.

most .world threads, which end up being incredibly hostile, childish, and ignorant

Agreed, and that's why I also avoid them (and Beehaw, Hexbear and .ml).
