Comforting people with your voice is a form of magic and atheists don't believe in magic, so they haven't developed any incantations.

Psychiatrist never diagnosed him with ASD. Psychiatrist never diagnosed him with NPD. It's all rumours and stereotypes. He wants the sympathetic stereotype, Lemmy users who think they're leftists want the unsympathetic stereotype. How about we leave stereotypes out of the conversation to talk about the piece of shit he actually is, instead of which neurodivergencies we think we can use as weapons against him?
That's what I call sh.reddit. it's a regional dialect
Don't forget that Elmo is also an autist. You could just as easily and just as truthfully say an evil autist is destroying the country.
I don't know why you'd want to politicise a mental disorder like that, but since you're already doing it, you might as well go all the way.
Imagine how pants-shittingly-scared the oligarchs would be if one got capped and they couldn't find the killer?
I don't have to. That's how scared they are now. Luigi is a cope. He didn't do that, he's just there to make the oligarchs feel better like a night light
They'll call the actual shooter a copycat.
If Discord were on GitHub with a GNU licence, Revolt wouldn't need to spend all this time re-inventing the wheel.
If Revolt enshittifies, the next replacement won't need to spend time re-inventing the wheel.
Even in the worst case scenario, this is a step in the right direction. And I'm not convinced of your worst case scenario.
Reality has always been a meme. A self replicating idea that controls people to spread itself. It's no surprise that reality now exists online. The mind virus has adapted itself into a computer virus.
Chat is so laggy
Do you think people should do that alone?

"it is absolutely not a safe space for marginalized folks" - r/plural users on Matrix
(reddthat.com)
Matrix user of almost a decade here. A PluralKit-like project actually does exist, a friend/ former partner of Ours developed it.
They are no longer on Matrix, and We wish We could follow suit. Do not use Matrix, it is absolutely not a safe space for marginalized folks by any stretch of imagination.
We know this because We were the defacto head of the last public safe space that was left standing, a feat only accomplished by terribly dedicated helpers (mods) and programmers who would make custom tooling for that community. It wasn't enough.
See, not only is Nev Vector Inc. very corporate oriented, they're actively hostile to community contributions. You can loudly yell about flaws that are easy to abuse, or make full code submissions of things that have been hotly requested for years, and it will be entirely ignored, if it doesn't directly align with their corporate interests.
Right now most of those who remained are scattered in a new community that's bridged between Discard, which at least does something to prevent the worst cases of abuse, and Revolt, which is still a pretty basic project feature set wise, compared to Matrix and Discard, but you can tell that it's made with actual care, it's also EU based.
Yeah, this lines up with what we've heard from a number of other people, sadly... that Matrix has been more interested in pandering to cops, governments, and corporations rather than building safe and respectful tech for everyday people. And that yes, you could self-host, but that it's a nightmare that they have no intent of making easier because it would conflict with their managed hosting services. Not to mention ongoing issues with metadata and loopholes that can be used for abuse. Unfortunate.

I wanna start an argument about Kangatarianism - refusing to eat any meat but kangaroo

What makes this worse is the obvious disrespect from Cowbee of my request to disengage. I made it very clear I didn't want to argue. These communities have absolutely no standards of behaviour for members of the in-group. Which is exactly why I don't engage with them in these communities.
Well, also the fact that I hate being constantly called a liberal for not repeating Capitalist Putin's latest botfarm talking point. Talking to these people is an exercise in keeping my calm while I am constantly insulted. No thank you.

Social interaction is magic. You have an organ for creating special waves that transmit your thoughts into other people's heads? That's just telepathy. Language is a superpower. And it only works because everyone believes a bunch of vibrating air molecules can have meaning, which is some spiritual woo-woo.
