  • I was under the impression that it’s considered a form of racism because it assumes that your race should somehow define your behavior. Even if it’s for something good, as in not shooting down people of certain race, it’s not good itself to assume that someone should behave someway because of their ethnicity.

    I read as a form of positive stereotypes, while good hearted they are still racial stereotype.

    It’s also a term commonly used by white supremacists to accuse among white people the ones that are not white supremacists. Because they assume that because you are “white” you should somehow “stick with the whites”.

    Anyway, I don’t think it was used with absolutely any ill intention here.






  • I don’t think is a great move…

    Good thing about decentralised open source software is that you don’t have to have anything to do with .ml to use Lemmy. And .ml doesn’t have absolutely any influence whatsoever to this community.

    It’s already difficult to create a nice space here without people deciding they don’t like each other all the time and splitting each time they have a chance, to become smaller, and smaller, and smaller, and smaller…

    As of for now I won’t be subscribing to the new piefed community until is larger than this one. But overall I don’t support the change. I think is completely unnecessary and detrimental to the fediverse to keep doing things like this.

    Not that is possible to even subscribe as it seems that “subscription to the new community needs to be pre-approved”. This community worked just fine, this is going to just make it smaller or even disappear over the issues this will cause.
