It might be offensive to some people, but even if it doesn’t offend it makes you sound like a weirdo. This has nothing to do with LGBTQ+ politics

Saying that this is keeping up with changing trends of what is politically correct language implies that there was a time when referring to women as “females” outside the context of a biology lesson didn’t sound weird as hell. Have you got any sources for mass usage of the term in that way from the past?

Fediverse@lemmy.ml•Why aren't people spreading out to other instances?
6·4 years agoFor me this is the most appropriate instance as far as I can tell. The other instances mostly seem to be run for countries in which I do not live or for interests which I am not especially interested in
Are you not mistaken here? Does FOSS not mean “free as in free speech, not as in free beer”? I.e. it does not necessarily mean offering the software to you for zero cost, it means that once you have acquired it (whether you paid for it or it was given away) you can do with it what you wish

6·4 years agoI think it’s pretty simple in a personal setting it becomes harassment when the target of the criticism asks you to stop (or it’s otherwise clear they’re not interested)

Presumably for a lot of people that is going to be the main, perhaps only, question.

Fediverse@lemmy.ml•Fediverse Bans/Deplatforms Users Whose Views Are Deemed 'Edgy' and When They Set Up Their Own Instances Those Too Get Blocked
8·5 years agoThis article is dumb as hell. The best argument it can make is that distrotube was banned from one instance and then when they set up their own it was blocked by “several” others. Who the hell cares? Even if every instance in the fedi blocked it it wouldn’t stop people from joining distrotube’s instance, or setting up their own and federating with it if they cared enough to.
Only the dumbest possible conception of the principle of free-speech could think this was a major issue.

Imo, the L should be a series of progressively smaller Ls tucked into each other at the right angle, and the O should be a series of progressively smaller concentric circles.
Also after seeing that I have to keep doing double-takes reading my own post, none of the letters look right
