Yes. But phonetic languages phoneticise loanwords.
Ie. In Japanese the word “coffee” has bexome a loanword. But they don’t keep the unphoneticised english version. They phoneticise it to fit with their pronounciation and it becomes kohi.
(This is complicated of course by katakana and such but just an example. German tends to so the same, since it’s phonetic.)
Ie. German Kaffee from turkish kahve, or German Komputer from english computer
Fuck spelling norms.
Make English Phonetic Again!
MEPA!
Do you not understand the concept of a safe space?
When you’re literally one of the most politically targeted groups and create a community the point might not be to make it a “free speech zone” but the one place on the internet you feel safe.
That doesn’t make them authoritarian politically. They’re just admins following through on a vision. Where people can freely join their instance or not. Not politicians enforcing their views on people who didn’t consent to it.
Blahaj doesn’t pretend to be a neutral instance like lemmy.ml does. It’s explicit.
Youre mixing up moderation style and political ideology.
Blahaj is moderated to be a safe space for trans people. That means they remove anything remotely insulting or harmful. That’s their moderation policy. That doesn’t mean their political views are authoritarian.
Lemmy.world, sh.itjust.works and Feddit.org are the most centrist ones probably. They’re like liberal leftism while the rest of lemmy tends to be explicitly anti-capitalist.
Blahaj is explicitly anti-tankie. I mean look at the banner of !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone, so they are clearly lib left.
Whilst dbzer0 is literally explicitly anti-capitalist.
So both of those go lib left. Perhaps dbzer0 more lib and blahaj more left.
Superman started off as Anti-Facist. But it’s worth noting it was co-opted during WW2 and the Cold War and became more of a propaganda vehicle than anything.
You can wear whatever clothes you like if you’re on a bike. Just like you don’t have to paint your car a specific colour to be allowed to drive.
And drivers are allowed to blast music so cyclists should as well. All the safety shouldn’t fall on cyclist double standards.
Given my favourite celebrity is severely disabled and anarchist leaning. I think I’m an exception to this rule.
My favourite celebrity would have been killed in the Nazi genocide of disabled people instead…
I’ve never bought a game that isn’t indie since 5 years 🫡
For sure I’d say completely failing. Have you seen the rise of the RN and AFD and FPÖ who are all basically Putin assets?

Sarcastic bluesky post saying [time traveling back to 1933 to make sure to tell Germans to protest Hitler less vigorously so as not to alienate bougie centrists who want to go to brunch undisturbed, thus preventing the rise of fascism]

Three-panel meme showing a man in military fatigues speaking in a forest setting. In the first panel, he says “The pace of oppression outstrips our ability to understand it…” In the second panel, he continues “…and that is the real trick of the Imperial thought machine.” In the third panel, he concludes “It’s easier to hide behind 40 atrocities than it is behind a single incident.”

I’m armchair Freuding a bit, but I think that’s one of the reasons “Femdom” type pornos seem to be enjoyed by some men.
Like I totally get wanting a woman to take control. But the “femdom” stuff online tends to be degarding, straight up mean. (Which some people like and is okay, but it’s more mainstream than I’d imagine).
