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 !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk grafted in !casualuk@feddit.uk, 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.

 

Just received news that 27 people have been arrested in Parliament Square under the Terrorism Act 2000 for holding signs saying "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action". This is real police state behaviour.

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.

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

Is this the famous hacker known as "4chan"?

That's absolutely vile and disgusting. Hopefully the offenders are caught and don't get off lightly

I think because Emperor has vanished, might be a factor

Feddit.UK is kinda nice as there's the little british bubble in Local

Exactly my point.

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

I'm not doing that. I already said that. You still took issue.

1 Corinthians 5:12 ESV

For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge?

 

I'm hearing everyone come out and condemn this thing which is apparently "hate speech" and how apparently terrible it was for the BBC to continue broadcasting it (I don't think they did anything wrong- they were broadcasting a real life event). I understand the upset at kneecap (like supporting Hezbollah and talking about killing MPs) but I don't know how chanting "Death to the IDF" is hate speech- it's not even necessarily calling for death to humans, could be directed towards wanting to disband the organisation.

I don't know why the media and politicians are making such a big deal over it. It feels like they are trying to tell us how awful it was that these people said this thing and that we should apparently be outraged. Or maybe it's just me. I think there are worse things going on in the world.... particularly within the geographical piece of land variously known as Israel/Palestine/Canaan....

"Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" is when corporate pigs try to get ahead on open standards, make their client the main one used, then make their client drop the standard.

Email is at risk since most normies use Gmail or Outlook. Google and Microsoft could agree to drop support for all other providers and people probably won't switch to the other providers.

The most Meta can do is add a load of more users to the fediverse then take them away again. For them to successfully EEE the fediverse, it would require convincing existing fediverse users to switch to threads. I cannot see that happening on here on any noticeable scale.

The worst that can happen, is a bunch of new users appear on the 'verse from threads, then disappear again.

If anything, Bluesky is the bigger threat as it touts itself as "decentralised" in order to gain users who would have otherwise gone to Mastodon, then easily pull the plug on that, and we have to wait another decade for a maniac to ruin the platform to cause people to reconsider the fediverse.

 

Why can countries officially recognise both the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the Republic of Korea as different political entities despite them both claiming to be the true Korea, but not the People's Republic of China and the Republic of China, instead having to choose a side?

 

Typically this is a Christian argument used against Islam - but I'm actually curious if this is seen as a valid argument from a secular point of view? (Even if it's not the "best")

Because essentially it's "your holy book contradicts the holy book it claims to be endorsed by", which personally I think I can see working on a secular level, even if you don't actually believe in the Bible either.
