Its predisposition towards cliques.

Existing.

Maybe French. I already know enough French to understand what people are saying, though not enough to respond back with confidence.

Kind of. It begs the question “what were they before”. They certainly weren’t straight.

I guess Spain, if we’re going by their willingness to do things like siestas.

I didn’t know there was a time limit.

With all due respect, it doesn’t mean they’re insulting every aspect of them though.

So much for the growing.

The context behind the last part is that certain marginalized friends wanted someone on the inside to act as a buffer in case they come up in conversations, and it led to a whole debate about whether the intentions of the founders of a community, the intentions of the majority of a community, and the intentions of each individual in a community can be separated. I am an individual and don’t endorse the values the group is associated with. I previously used the analogy of an alternate timeline where nobody likes Uncle Iroh because he joined the fire nation military even though he never actually did any of the fighting. It’s an oversimplification to say I’m “defending kiwifarms”.

I’m going by dictionary definitions, not what a certain biased organization says. I wouldn’t deny both of the organizations you mention there are biased. But the dictionary isn’t.

Suppose you are right and the ADL is biased and controlled “by Zionism” (which sounds a bit like a conspiracy theory). What does that make the Snopes organization? What does that make the literal 50% of America who doesn’t disagree with the ADL? What does that make the people who call it a double standard that so many people are willing to support murder of one kind but not another, or that intentions matter sometimes but not all the time?

It’s a war crime. Not all war crimes are a genocide. Certain criteria have to be fulfilled for that. Similar to how not all mass shootings are acts of terrorism. Are you really dedicating a whole confrontation just to debate semantics?

I’m not searching for conflict. The people you allude to keep coming to me. I didn’t really even know your name before you came to me, for example. Besides, I’m not the only one who has offered to fill the shoes. If everyone got lucky with that except me, I would still support them.

How is that genocide denial?

Whole instances have banned each other. And it’s not really uncommon for people to be banned from multiple places. It’s a rite of passage to be banned by ML, for example.

I look forward to working with you.

You do realize that simply linking to something in a place like that once isn’t the same as being that individual, right?

A few points from someone who knows how this works.

1. Everyone has been “banned” from multiple places. Nobody has a perfect score. But that’s just defederation for you. Whether they’re even “bans” or not is technical.
2. What you point to are technicalities, ones which have been brigaded upon me constantly by you and others who show the signs of being “alts” in all but name. Sometimes you phrase it as “she is a Nazi” just because you know you’re speaking to the right audience to demonize me when none of that applies. The second thing is also inapplicable here in the way you are applying it, for the same reasons. I don’t defend harassment. I don’t defend racism, ableism, transphobia, or homophobia. I don’t defend marginalization. Get that out of your head.
3. If all the signs are right about who you are, not only are you ban evading to try to tell us all of this, but you’re also someone who even people in charge have had to point out tries to weaponize the karma system to make those you have a grudge on seem worse than they are.

That’s good. I tend to wear skirts anyways.

May I @EllaSpiggins@lemm.ee?

Currently Vermont. It has actually been a cold late Spring/Summer due to the combined lake effect, polar vortex, and overall weather. Depending on what you’re wearing as a second/third layer, it just kind of becomes synonymous with a part of what one is wearing.
