Because you don’t call grownups immature. It’s dumb.

Man. I really wanted to support you, but you’re making it very difficult.
You’re offended by an accusation of being right-wing instead of listening to what they (the person) haslve to say. In turn, you just linked gay people to pedophiles - perhaps unintentionally, but damn, man. That’s actually bigot talk. Now, I’m not saying you are. But again, take a step back and reflect in how you approach these themes. Otherwise you’ll be making more harm than good.
You lost me at “immaturity” here.
Thanks! I’ve been to Beehaw a few times in the past, and I liked what I’ve seen. I guess it’s time to make it my home once and for all.
All good points. I’m just tired of moving to a spot (slashdot, digg, reddit, etc) only for it to be invaded by the same toxic, race-baiting crowd. And I think in the fediverse that may occur way more often. Say, today I’m in Lemmy.world. Then I move to Beehaw. Then Reddthat, etc…
We shall see.
We disagree, and that’s okay.
It really is rather selfish
Uh, yeah. I already mentioned that.
Good to know. I’ll start blocking, then.
But I don’t want the fediverse to become mainstream!!
I know, I know, most people think it’s the best thing.
But I selfishly prefer the fediverse to be as it is now. Actually, as it was a couple of months ago. Lemmy is already being filled with rage-baiting bullshit, which is one of the reasons I decided to leave reddit.
Well, I don’t really have a position. I think pedophilia is heinous, but I understand that sexual attraction is not a choice. Would an internet forum be a good and healthy supporting tool for pedophiles making an effort to do the right thing? That’s the question I’m trying to answer.
I’ll play the devil’s advocate here. Not supporting or opposing your point of view. Just to add to the discussion. Let’s use another extreme: People with a killing spree sexual attraction. I know, I know, it may be not the same, and it’s something that doesn’t exist (God I hope!) But for the sake of the argument, let’s assume it does.
You have this forum of people posting memes about mass killings and frustrations about not being able to kill, but that you would totally never ever kill anyone, even though the urge is there.
What would you think of such community? Would it be a safe one?
(Dear CIA, NSA, FBI agents, the above is just a completely hypothetical scenario. I am a law-abiding citizen. Always have, always will.)
Good point. I guess they could just fire up a shell instance and get all the good stuff. I wouldn’t be too surprised, actually.
It still news to me.
It also says exactly what they’re planning to collect for starters. That was news to me.
Correct. Though interaction also means, a Threads user following you or replying to one of your comments or posts.
Yes, but do you analyse this information to sell it to advertisers? Will you start posting sponsored content based on this information? And will the money you collect benefit the community you live in, or will it buy you another politician?
It’s Meta. This is just the beginning. Stop them right from the start. Fuck these corporations.
Ask them and report back.
Sure, but why risk it when this is essentially a volunteer project?
I’m not saying they’re right. I’m just saying I understand their concerns. Others don’t care and allow piracy content just fine.
What you describe may be undesirable behaviors, but that’s not immaturity.
Lack of critical thinking, stubbornness, indoctrination, ignorance, whatever you want to call it. Not immaturity.
