  • Firefox both on PC (Fedora) and on smartphone (CalyxOS).
    But I'm really looking forward to the native app to come out

  • Have encountered racism, hate speech or homophobia on the fediverse yet?
  • Dude we all know what "intolerance" or "racism" mean, don't build an elaborate system of mirrors and pulleys to fuck yourself in your own ass.
    Playing devil's advocate on this matter is what allowed this kind of behaviour to exist in the first place

  • Have encountered racism, hate speech or homophobia on the fediverse yet?
  • Yeah for sure, political debate (done in a constructive way) is always helpful for both sides.
    Extremism are to keep separated from political views, from both sides and that's why I don't hang out in Lemmy's main instance too: because (while most people in there are cool) there are a bunch of self proclaimed "communists" that takes the sides of Russia in the war of Ukraine or denies the genocide of the Uyghur ethnic groups operated by the Chinese government.
    And they use the same catchphrase the far-right extremists use: "don't believe what mainstream media tell you".
    That's because extremism is not a political problem, is a social issue. Extremists only use politics to have a justifiable outlet.

  • If brands were brutally honest. What brand would have what slogan?

  • Have encountered racism, hate speech or homophobia on the fediverse yet?
  • While I tend to agree with your opinion, that people should be allowed to express their political view of the world, I also think that intolerance is not a political view. It's just the heritage of a mob mentality that's more suitable for the dark ages, rather than the globalized world we live into.
    So if you want to spout about dumb non-facts like "ethnic replacement" and such, you can take a walk and come back when you'll have a mindset more appropriate for this century.

  • Have encountered racism, hate speech or homophobia on the fediverse yet?
  • A couple years ago, when Mastodon started rising in popularity, some far-right instances popped out among others, the most notable being Gab.
    But the nice thing about the Fediverse is that you can exclude the connection your instance has with those harmful environments. And that's what most instances does actively.

    If you want to look deeper, I suggest this video that gives a better overview on this particular case.

  • What's an innocent misconception about your hobby/profession that drives you up the wall?
  • I'm an amateur stand-up comedian, so people ask me to tell my jokes all the time.
    These people ignore the fact that a comedy set is all about the context in which you tell the joke

  • Revolt, free and open-source alternative to Discord, has hit 100,000 registered users.
