You can but it bothers me that it exists, shitting on everything.

Well, this changes things ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Probably because trying to fight the bullshit ends up costing more in the long run.

Well ya can but you’re taking some risks if you do. Your soap dispenser might not work worth a shit if you haven’t tested it.

So … if I tag !boobs@lemmynsfw.com I should be able to see it?

Edit: nope. Unless I have the syntax wrong somehow.

tends to be extremely hostile to any sort of monitization

This is a good thing, seeing as how monetization has ruined other things, the web and newspapers in particular.

Authoritarian communists, especially those not native to such a state.

Currently it’s mainly the folks who believe China in particular can do no wrong. Historically it refers to supporters of the USSR in Britain

Specifically, it was used to distinguish [CPGB] party members who spoke out in defense of the Soviet use of tanks to suppress the Hungarian Revolution of 1956and the 1968 Prague Spring, or who more broadly adhered to pro-Soviet positions.

More recently it’s applied online especially to people who are knee-jerk anti-capitalist or anti-US, “if the US/‘west’/capitalism is wrong then anyone who opposes them must be right”

More generally, a tankie is someone who tends to support “militant opposition to capitalism”, and a more modern online variation, which means “something like ‘a self-proclaimed communist who indulges in conspiracy theories and whose rhetoric is largely performative.’”

Lemmynsfw does pretty well. It’s a shame that the main instances don’t federate with the porn instances, but it does nicely prevent either from overwhelming the other.

I hate it because it shows up everywhere and adds nothing of value while displaying busy formatted text. If it lately shows even less meaningful content, that barely seems possible.

I’d rather not. Not sure if you can view the mod log for other people’s accounts, but if so it’s easy to spot from mine.

I’ll say that I have some sympathy because dealing with internet randos is painful soul-sucking work and it’s easy to default to the ban-hammer, but…

Like: decentralization and a renaissance of the old- school dream of what the Internet should be.

Dislike: media bias fact checker bot spamming every damn post. Power tripping mods.

Doesn’t really have the same purpose but…

It’s a very strange assumption to me that going to work and doing one’s job is “serving Allah”, let alone “fighting for Allah”

I associate that term more with archaic Christianity (Joan of Arc and other old saints spring to mind) much more than Islam.

I think the phrase hits the exact intersection of nationalism, militarism, false hero worship for people who are just doing a job, and theocracy that in combination I find deeply repulsive, no matter which specific religion it is.

It depends.

Were they killed in the line of duty? Did they make a choice that is at bare minimum well-intentioned? Or did they just happen to be there and died by bad luck?

Firefighter dies trying to save someone from a burning building? Sure, okay. Dies in a vehicle crash while responding? Maybe.

Dies by someone else’s actions and is never aware of any possibility of a choice? That’s not any sacrifice, let alone the “ultimate” sacrifice.

That’s not victim blaming, bud. To the contrary.

Webster’s, definition 2:

martyr: a person who sacrifices something of great value and especially life itself for the sake of principle

That leaves aside the religious overtones of the first definition.

If you are treating deaths due to terror attack as anything other than tragedy, there is something deeply wrong with your society.

To suggest that it is in any way voluntary, or intentional for the sake of religion, is disgusting.

Unfortunately we have martyrs

If you have “martyrs” from a terrorist attack that are not the terrorists, you’re doing something wrong.

I dunno, Wii seemed to manage it just fine.

… and if they were hanging around a polling place that might be a problem.
