Anon hates reddit
-
Let's go through this:
-
Unpop Opinon is always terrible. It's terrible by design. Next.
-
Yes, very true, relationship advice online is generally awful. Rare chad on 4chan?
-
Ew. Going on about wrongthink, sounds like someone tried to say something hateful and didn't like being told to shut up.
-
Ew. Probably went on conservative. Shut up.
-
"Talks in qualifiers"?? What is this, a fucking grammarly course? Shut the fuck up.
-
Oh gee I can't talk about a specific language on the meta language board, I can only talk about meta language learning. If only I could go to a sub for the individual fucking language. What, are you complaining that you can't flood the meta sub with one of a thousand "whats good spanish app" posts?? Shut the fuck up.
-
Yes, hobbyists can be snobs. Not unique to reddit. Although I wonder if again we're mad that someone disagreed with me. Should probably just shut the fuck up.
-
Grammarly snob Anon doesn't like acronym snob Redditor, okay. This just sounds whiny. You guessed it, shut the fuck up.
-
And then there's the transphobia, although TBQH I'm a little concerned that Anon hadn't already lost you all before this point, did you just not sniff out the whiny bitchboy bullshit or did you all actually agree with it? Oh well, at least you all can draw the line at transphobia. As far as this complaint, they're upset that they didn't understand someone else's post because there wasn't enough information? Seriously? Shut the fuck up!
-
Ladydick is great but if it tastes yeasty then maybe see a doctor
-
Award speech edits are actually the very, very, qualitatively super duper worst thing about redditors, indeed. Never the less, shut the fuck up anon
Yeah this whole rant fell flat, it was just a generic conservative bitchpost. 1/10
The hobby one was the one that hit me the most.
I love a specific hobby. I don't like to engage much of the community because my opinions go against the hive kind. I also don't have interest/energy to debate. I also am not that interested in engaging daily. Weekly, sure. Monthly, absolutely. But day after day? I have a life to live.
But Every time I introduce people to it, I have to dial down my excitement. I invest a lot into my hobby and I'm really good at it.
Who controls the Reddit narrative of my hobby? Not people like me.

Well, what's the hobby?

Check out the defender of the hive here.
wrote last edited by [email protected]It's not a hive mind... it's just a lot of people who think you're a dick.
Like you realize that Anon will call us a hivemind for challenging transphobia right? Is it because you can't think for yourself? Or maybe you have a better reason for hating transphobes??
People who complain about hivemind are just trying to dehumanize and divide us.

Source on the Ethiopian church?
Matthew 19:4-5
He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?
Gender did exist in biblical times
Acts 8:27-28 NRSV
[27] So [Phillip] got up and went. Now there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of the Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, in charge of her entire treasury. He had come to Jerusalem to worship [28] and was returning home; seated in his chariot, he was reading the prophet Isaiah.Here's a story about a eunuch returning home from Jerusalem. Eunuchs back then were seen as 'between' male and female. They were able to go between the men's Chambers in the women's Chambers freely, and so they were very useful in courts. Not all Eunuchs were in the courts though.
According to church tradition this very Eunuch founded the Ethiopian Church. And so it is very possible for non-binary people to be followers of Christ.
Of course we can't fall into the pitfall of applying modern sexuality and gender theory on ancient cultures, as they have a very different set of social institutions.
Some theologians of years past have suggested that the passage which is alluded to in Genesis might have a different meaning.
Genesis 2:23 NRSV
[23] Then the man said, “This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; this one shall be called Woman, for out of Man this one was taken.”This taken in conjunction with the passage that you quoted, can be interpreted very differently. Woman was taken out of man, meaning that Man was once both male and female at the same time, and yet perfect as all of God's creation was.
Jesus never explicitly condemns Eunuchs or other groups of gender non-conforming people. I would not take this passage to exclude everything else from the life giving blood shed for us on the cross

Conservative was reclaimed from the hatemongers so it could be used to mock them.
Hilariously this comment is precisely as confusing to me as the comm itself.

Blahaj, I kind of understand. Although I'd prefer if you were to have an LGBTQ+ safe place instance, that the communities primarily on there are LGBTQ+ communities. I don't think I was banned on DB0 by the instance, but multiple communities which seemed to have the same mod.
I think it's absolutely ridiculous that you cannot be conservative on [email protected] , they're basically just name squatting. They banned me from there because I was calling out a post attacking religion. I wasn't even being that conservative.
I guess I'd add, having returned to this, that it's a bit off-putting for you to be sharing your preferences for how they behave with their own instance, given your non-involvement with that instance itself, or trans things in general.
One of the major points of federation as a concept is for folks to not be mandatorily subject to some overarching singular approach to content moderation. You're here, so I think it's reasonable to assume you care at least a bit about the way this platform works and what makes it unique(ish) and valuable.
At the risk of coming across more hostile than I intend - why on earth does Blahaj need to specifically, only, be about trans topics, to be a valid space in your eyes, when it seems they mostly just want to exist how they prefer and interact with federated Lemmy stuff, in the ways federation explicitly intends?
I'll admit that I don't always remember to look at where a given post originated from before commenting, and I should get better at that - could be that's all you need, too

I hate how much over reach the mods have. Reddit doesn’t want to pay them so they let them have absolute power in their subs and thousands of people are punished because the mods wife cheated on him with his brother and he’s having a bad week.
This is even worse on Lemmy.

The irony is that
Fascism views forms of violence – including political violence, imperialist violence, and war – as means to national rejuvenation.

Making you no better than them.
Thanks for proving my point, though.Ah, the "Hitler drinks water, so that means everyone who drinks water are fascists" fallacy. Took you long enough.

️It's moreso how here people tend to gravitate to a single community. It is annoying if that community is on an instance which could be banning people for other reasons unrelated to that community. I didn't say it isn't a valid space, it's just how instances work. For a while Blahaj had defederated feddit.uk because we handled trans topics differently to how they'd prefer. It would be annoying if, let's say, the main and active asklemmy community was on blahaj

Eunuchs were men, though. They were castrated so were seen as less of a threat. I do not think we can compare eunuchs to non-binary/gender-non-conforming people of today.

Ah yeah that's a reasonable take and I do know what you mean. I broadly like what federation offers over centralization, but it's not without its quirks and some drawbacks, I hear ya.

At least if a community goes bad, people can shift very easily and it's an inconvenience. I think ideally though, there should be a way to create publicly accepted combined communities. Maybe an option in a community's setting to graft in posts from another community. Although then rule enforcement and moderation might get a little tricky. For example, just say [email protected] grafted in [email protected], maybe along with uk politics and other UK related subs (even local UK subs, that'd be cool!). Users on unitedkingdom may see something on casualuk and unknowingly leave comments on it which are political- and discussing politics is banned on casualuk.

Yeah I'll be honest, I don't have a lot to say about how those kinda scenarios should be managed at the moment, I haven't thought that stuff through too deeply I'm realizing. I'm pretty happy to defer to folks with experience in community moderation and such, I'm frankly a pretty poor candidate for that, for several reasons (somewhat moody, sometimes fond of borderline hyperbolic takes, etc.).
I do think users should be able to have the experience they want, but that's vague enough to be almost uselessly uncontroversial, and I also recognize that some people's wants can be incompatible with others', without either necessarily being unreasonable or unfair. So, another partial reflection of the human condition in general I guess.

I don't think that's the case
Matthew 19:12 NRSV
[12] For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let anyone accept this who can.”Jesus mentions two types of eunuchs here. Those who are made, and those who are born as eunuchs. The latter, those who are born as eunuchs are what we today call intersex people.
Intersex people have ambiguous sex characteristics and are born that way. Intersex people make up around 1.7% of the population, around the same amount as people who have red hair. They are pretty distinct. Sometimes they can have male genitalia and female sex hormones, while still others can have ambiguous genitalia. Others still have male chromosomes when being phenotypically female.
Not every one of these was included in the term Eunuch, as they aren't always visible traits. But many of these traits were visible so they were seen as distinct from men. Oftentimes they're born that way.
(An aside while it's on my mind, Jesus tells us that marriage is overrated in this passage. I think we neglect our single church members a lot, seeing as there doesn't seem to be much space for them outside of the context of marriage. And this passage says that marriage isn't for everyone)

I always interpreted this as referring to asexual people, not intersex people

Asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction, so while they still might be male or female, they just don't feel that attraction
