As a disabled person, I face ableism and ableist language every day. Some people use ableist language without even knowing that it is ableist. I thought it would be good for folks to take a look at the attached BBC article and expand their perspectives a bit.

Uh, I'd rather good faith discussion instead, actually.

Just noticed you're using kbin.social. Checks out.

[–] norapink@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Does kbin.social have some kind of reputation or something? I'm not defending the commenter BTW.

[–] comedy@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm not defending the other guy, but what's wrong with kbin?

[–] ram@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

I just notice time and time again that kbin.social is populated by users who act in bad faith. I assume it has something to do with people repulsed by communists tending to stay away from lemmy instances due to the M-L association. Of course, kbin.social is the biggest instance of its software, but it's a trend I keep noticing.

Nothing inherently, it's an open instance with almost no rules regarding discourse though so you will find a lot of trolls and bad faith comments coming from kbin.
