As you may know, I moved to using my blahaj.zone account almost exclusively, as I kinda disliked the vibe I was getting from .world. At the same time, I also want to gage the feelings people have about the migration. Will you continue to use 196 on lemmy.world? Are you happy with the change? I want to hear from you:
Way too many people subscribe to the idea of “if I don’t hear about it then it isn’t happening.” No, bitch, it’s happening, and it’s a hell of a lot worse than you think. It’s the only way I can imagine that people truly, unironically believe that LGBT people, especially trans people, are just “overreacting”.
Or to put it another way, they’re the kinda people who’d unironically believe that a tree doesn’t make a sound when it falls in the forest, and then get pissed off when a physicist tells them that the tree makes a sound no matter what.
We believe what we see. I guess I could be described as one of those liberal techies, and I’m a white cis hetero dude from a middle class background.
We are all monkeys after all, and if you see all monkeys around you being like you and doing okay, you subconsciously apply that to the whole world. Even if you know, on a rational level, that it’s wrong.
