Welcome! In my biais view we’re less toxic but still far from perfect.
Don’t hesitate to post on smaller communities. People will be so happy to see a post they will forgot to be negative.
I look forward to read from you again (^_^)

Hacking is used in plot the same way that magic is. That shows how much they care about making any realism into hacking or IT.

I like Proton or Tuta. Both have interesting free plan as well as pay plans for upgrade.

I’m borrowing that.

Perfect! I was looking for a PieFed instance for my next alt.

We could mess back. We cannot influence much their userbase but we could make sure to stick to our vocabulary and rename Meta’s thing. For example, Thread should be rename MMT (Meta’s Microblogging Tool) and Loops, their “communities” Bubbles.

Are they choosing the names on purpose to mess with the fediverse vocabulary? Thread, when they are part of the twittoverse but not the threadiverse and now Loop like the TikTok-like federated social media from PixelFed…

Do you post your ficction somewhere on the fediverse? I would like to read what come next.

That’s a very nice start for a book.

Ok, then. Lets make a list of 11 plants easy to recognised to help society:

• clover
• dandelion
• blackberry thorn
• nettle
• mint. There is different types so this one can be trickier that the others. The leaves are rounded or on the rounded-side and smell like mint when rub btw the finger
• daisy
• daffodil
• cowslip
• mallow
• bindweed
• oaktree

Here you go. Enjoy saving society from its decline.

This is poetry!

Bible […] must include copies of the Pledge of Allegiance, Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights

I’m sorry? Why would people mixed (modern) political text to their religious ones? Aren’t people buying bibles suppose to care about their religion?

Even lemmy, which is small in comparison has enough people that I barely even think about specific users. Let alone speak with them on a personal level.

I have a different experience but I’m on a very smaller instance than .world. Your instance is big, generalist but their is lots of them that are location- or topic-oriented. Such instances are not only smaller with a more personnalised local thread but the people on it share already identified common points with you.

Part of it is the character representation but part of it is also my own definition of what is white or what is westerner and what isn’t.
The live action character for the tibetain was badly casted if the race is important to the story. The romani girl went from a westerner folk with actual hair texture to some with flat hair. But I don’t see anything else weird, let alone chocking in this casting.
That’s because my own set of reference. I was not even able to tell that the first row was about native american people without reading the comments. That’s how little I know about them.

I would said it is different. Arabic people are not westerner but the ones from middle eat are definitely white. The character drawn doesn’t look Arabic whatsoever. I would have thought he is british. Romani are not fully white but definitely westerner, just not the vanilla-type. The Tibetan character is drawn as a white guy with high liner. The actress playing Ariel has definitely some African roots but I would called here mixed-race rather that black.
It just another kind of biais. I don’t pretend my way is better or closer to reality but it is funny that my biais clashes so much with OP’s.

That funny because when I put my non-USA definition of is white and not-white or african, this image as absolutely no meaning.

I want to say to every Brazilian “Bem-vindo à nossa humilde parte da Fediverse !”

Je pense que c’est devenue naturel au point que la phrase nous vienne naturellement à la bouche pour parler des conséquences de la cigarette. Après tout, elle tue par le cancer, pas par accident de la route ou overdose.

Quand aux français, ils disent “fumer tue”.

Google is such a great source of inspiration (^_^)
