I posted this question on Reddit a while ago and it was an interesting discussion so I wanted to hear what Lemmings think.

It's common for religious people to be against the above mentioned things due to their beliefs, but how common is it for atheists to be against them? What reasons would they have? How would they base their opinion if there was no belief system/religion to rely on?

I'm not trying to provoke or insult anybody with this question, and I don't wish for people to hate on each other's beliefs. I just think this is an interesting concept to think about.

I know this is a late question but I have one more thing on my mind - as for the accent colour you can choose in the settings, will there be an implantation of custom colours (i.e. inserting a hex code for the accent colour, like Memmy has)? I understand that it’s not a priority, but just thought I’d ask. :)

Reading this made me sick to my stomach, she’s just a child… the US looks more dystopian by the day…

The fact I live in a safe, progressive country. I am thankful I have never had to worry about day-to-day assault, gun violence, poverty, police brutality, lack of healthcare and education. I’m grateful my parents migrated here before my birth, otherwise I think my life would have looked very differently. Things aren’t perfect, of course, but compared to many developing countries I just feel incredibly glad to live here.

I’ll check it out, thank you!

Thank you for replying! I look forward to seeing what it’ll look like, and I definitely understand wanting to stick with the aesthetic of the app.

So far it’s been really great, the layout is fantastic and I like the already existing customisation options. Another thing, however, that I noticed is that whenever I refresh my home feed the same posts I’ve already read keep appearing. I was hoping maybe new posts would pop up so I wouldn’t have to scroll down and start all over again. That’s just that one detail though, as for feedback. You’re doing great work and I may just make it my main app. (:

 

Hello, I downloaded Avelon just now and I have to say I think I prefer it over other Lemmy apps I have used. However, I can’t help but miss the banner/bio section of Lemmy profiles, and I was wondering if this is something that’s going to be implemented in the future? I understand smoothness and the way the app functions will be prioritised, but I am a huge lover of customisation and I hope this is something that will be considered. :)

 

I’m aware that, at the moment, Florida is deemed unsafe for people to travel to, but what is generally the worst state to live in? Factors such as education, religious extremism, crime, cost of food, healthcare, and access to other resources are relevant. Will “Deep South” states remain one of the worst places to live in due to traditionalism, or are more progressive states bound to grow worse?

I can attest to that, I switched from my previous instance to sopuli!
