That's a really good site too, though I suggest using fedipact.veganism.social if you're specifically interested in which instances are defederated from Threads. Some instances have hidden blocklists and won't show if they have defederated Threads if you search through defed.xyz.

For example: You can only see that retro.pizza and masto.ai have hidden blocklists if you look through defed.xyz. However, if you look on fedipact.veganism.social, you can see that retro.pizza has joined the Fedipact against Threads, while masto.ai is fully federated with them.

I can get why that user might have a pro-communist bias themself due to being from a pro-communist instance, but the articles they linked seemed to be an accurate enough representation of how the far left and far right see Wikipedia.

Maybe not completely accurate to how it really is in all aspects, but I don't really care enough about Wikipedia's biases to fact check each contradictory claim in each article. I barely use it as a point of reference anymore anyways. (Though I've found it tends to have a liberal bias, like both the articles stated. I seem to remember that during the past election, some sections of the articles about Trump or featuring him in some way used very emotionally charged language)

But accurate or not, I still find it hilarious to look at the articles side by side. One claims the articles are written mainly by teenagers and the unemployed and supports communism, and the other claims they're written mostly by privileged White men who hate communism.

sniffle Beautiful 🥺

Not part of this community, so maybe this is a stupid question, but...wouldn't those things taste terrible mixed together?

Edit: just looked up whether you could mix mead with tea, and apparently it is a thing people do. I guess the reason why I thought it would taste terrible is because I've tasted tea mixed with coffee, and it tasted terrible. I also just looked up whether you could mix tea with coffee, and apparently it can taste good too. My whole world of not mixing beverages has been flipped upside down. I'm sleep deprived. I will probably regret this comment.

I read the first few comments thinking they were being sarcastic, but reading further they genuinely seem to view...whatever the heck this guy is doing...as some kind of heroic stand against wokeness or something. What. Edit: Also, if I were to include a content warning about reading the comments, what do you think would be a good thing to warn for specifically? Cause they seem to be hating on pretty much everything LGBT related.

Hear hear. I'm often disturbed by how many upvotes these comments that show hate towards religious people in general get, and as much as I hate blocking people, I often block the posters on sight. I guarantee that if I still followed that religion, and heard someone say my beliefs were a mental disorder, it would do nothing to change my mind. In fact, depending on what phase I stayed in, I might decide to retaliate by spamming more threads with proselytizing in hopes of getting an even worse reaction to confirm that all nonreligious people are like that, that they were the ones who needed to change or be eliminated.

I see now, thank you. I was just wondering. Now that I look a little more at the 'Title' posts as examples for others to look at, the more I see that it's usually for stuff that's hard to title without spoiling the content of the post (e.g. typing out the entire text of a meme would be really annoying)

Is Holly Horny meant to refer to a Sonic character or some other character famous for being flanderized?

For me, I've gotta say "Machine Messiah", by Yes. It's one of the longest, and most interesting songs I've heard. Most songs have just one "mood" explored in them, but this one shifts from joyous to melancholy and back multiple times, and does so perfectly. Plus, I'm very nostalgic about it since it was one of my favorite songs as a child. Drama was the one of the first two albums I bought as a kid, almost entirely because that one song was on it. (Also--is that a Sonic pfp, op? A person of culture, I see 😉)

Oh...god I sprained my brain rereading it three times trying to reinterpret the last part. But yeah, the last part does seem to be asking if they are ugly and don't use makeup because they are feminists. I thought he was just adding extra words to intentionally confuse people.

Revised version: Are extremist feminist females “ugly” because they don’t wear makeup because of patriarchy, or are they feminists and don't wear makeup because they are ugly?

My attempt at translating this question to regular English: Are extremist feminist females "ugly" because they don't wear makeup because of patriarchy and are "so feminist"? (Cut out some parts I thought were redundant)

I know that Peertube doesn't have any built-in monetization right now, so they would probably be relying on viewer charity to make money on some platforms.
