  • Well do focus on the tone when organizing in the community. You should be analyzing your messaging to make sure its effective and reaching the widest amount of people it can.

    What you’ve shown me is a fragile ego and an inability to take criticism. As well as a narrow focus on inconsequential formalities that will only alienate the general public. So I beg thee to consider your approach to what ever organizing you are doing and ask yourself if it represents the people you are trying to protect.




  • Are we going to cancel idioms too because ESL folks will get comically lost without context? Or should we use idioms and explain them or allow google to do such? Are we going to draw the line on broken english which can be easy to misunderstand as well? Just seems like a weird line to draw right now.

    Popculture references are always going to be an important part of communication. I enjoyed learning the context of 1960-1970s lingo my parents used. If it’s so important to you, add some polite context about under the comment for people to understand. I believe your OP comment was asking for us to leave the gendered language on reddit, and I don’t think its a fair request to ask people to change how they communicate to conform with what you precieve makes others more comfortable.


  • But brother we are scattered. Look at france. Must be 25%-33% of the country that lives in a 400km radius of paris right?

    less than 1% of the country is in that radius for me. So if everyone in 300 KM joined in protest. 100% of the people around me… it would be 750,000 max. US population is 340,000,000. We’re also 1200 KM away from DC. Protesting in a state thats being trashed by trump right now doesn’t make sense. It’s just fucking up our lives more while they laugh at us in DC and the deep south.





  • Sorry dude, these are commonly used expressions for like the last 60 years man. Why don’t you just enjoy the wide range of words used to communicate between humans friend? The history of our language. Hell ya brother should be read in the voice of Macho Man Randy savage. It adds some flair to the words when the reader understands the context.

    We should try to celebrate diversity instead of enforce conformity. Especially when it comes to communicating and language.





  • There has been a recent flood of pro-russia pro-trump moderators in almost all the reddit subs i frequent. I also just got a permanant ban for evasion to post this. “It wasn’t enought to just amplify the idiots voices, they have to smother the voices of reason and doubt” Apparently that was uncivil way to speak about the mods.
