  • I already have another account I only use on beehaw, so I wouldn’t mind a compkete defederation or software change. Safer/nicer spaces are really hard to maintain without moderation control, and lemmy clearly isn’t there yet and might not be there for some time. If staying federated/on lemmy means beehaw administration/moderation ends up burnt out, I feel like it’s the right move to move.

    As a personnal aside, the only thing that would prevent me from staying on beehaw is if you chose a closed-source platform (eg discord).

    Anyway, thanks for the things you do and the way you do them !





  • You don’t get paid money “just for existing”.

    You get paid money to pretend you enjoy the company of the guy who tips, even if he’s the biggest piece of shit you’ve ever met. You get paid money not to hit him in the balls when he says sexist and degrading things about you. You get paid money not to break his nose when you hear him saying racist stuff to his friends. You get paid to say “remember, no touching” with a smile instead of pepper-spraying him when the guy touches your ass although you explicitely told him not to before.

    You don’t only get told you are beautiful and sexy. You also get told that you’ll only have value as long as people find you beautiful and sexy. You are not complimented on your ethics, your intellect, your achievements - and you know that these would not get you any tips if you didn’t have a body men 20 years older than you find beautiful and sexy.

    Please stop romanticizing sexual exploitation in a capitalistic world. It’s at least as stupid as romanticizing the grind, or the billionaire’s success.




  • Sometimes yes. I know very little about the Israelo-palestinian confilct (only what I read from news outlet) so I can’t say anything for sure here.

    But more generally, in history, there have been plenty of conflicts that were one side’s responsability: Ukraine’s invasion, WW2, colonie’s independance “wars”… IMO, when you defend yourself from an agression, you are not responsible for the conflict.

    In this case, I tend to agree with other commentors - Israel seems to have been increasingly oppressive and brutal at least in the past 2 decades, and you can only push people so far before they react.
