From wikipedia:

Racism is discrimination and prejudice towards people based on their race or ethnicity.

Did you know Irish people were considered “not white” at some point in history?

“We will forcefully integrate you into our culture by excluding you from our culture”

Genius, what could possibly go wrong.

Racism isn’t exclusively about skin color you dolt.

Do they ban catholic children wearing crosses around their necks?

Skipping classes as a “gifted” kid always seemed like a very weird concept to me, you’re making the child lose a lot of interaction with their peers for dubious reasons. It seems to me like it should only be reserved for the most bulging hyperwrinkled brains, like those kids that finish college by the time they’re 16 or whatever that would obviously be extremely understimulated when going the normal pace. Even then you could argue the gigabrain kid would probably benefit greatly from socializing with their peers, I mean where’s the rush really? They’re young, they can always learn more later.

I’ve used it a few years ago, it might have gotten better but when I was trying to use it it was annoying as fuck, cross-application links that you would expect to open the browser or whatever other app just didn’t seem to work right and that was kind of a big deal for me since I use Slack a lot.

Also I’d imagine your disk usage would go through the roof with it.

I just don’t see the point in it tbh, what was wrong with Linux package management as it is?

And if you need examples I invite you to read all of the responses in the thread objectively, and not as a hexbear user with already hurt feelings.

I actually did re-read the entire thread extremely objectively (I put on my maximum objectivity cap) and I stand by my initial conclusion that you’re a huge fucking baby.

If you can’t see all the hexbear users piling onto those that disagree with OP I don’t know what to tell you.

Again, that’s not piling on, that’s just your fragile ego not being able to handle a lot of people calling your opinion garbage.

Your persecution complex is showing.

Right back at you. Nobody is “piling on”, there’s just more people disagreeing with you than agreeing, deal with it baby.

You’re obnoxious. Hexbear is one of the largest instances, comparable to lemmy.ml which is where this was posted. There are also users from lemmy.ml and other instances agreeing with OP.

You’re just a huge fucking baby that thinks encountering lots of opposing opinions must be some grand conspiracy against you.

Just because there are some users that stumble upon content semi-organically doesn’t mean brigading and piling on isn’t happening.

You have any proof of this or are you just assuming that happens because you can’t fathom that many people actually disagreeing with you?

Why not?

Sorry I just don’t buy into the ideology that the free market has this kind of “magic sauce” that makes everything innovative and better.

The early Internet was filled of people doing all kinds of cool things for free just because it was interesting to do, the only thing the private sector did is provide the base infrastructure, this is something the state can easily do too. All kinds of communities, FOSS software and media popped up and none of them had VC funding or expected any money out of it.

It was only in mid-late 2000 that capital really sank its teeth into the Internet properly.

How would you have communicated without someone owning a server and paying for it?

You do realize the Internet first started being used by universities and the military, not the private sector, right? I see literally no reason why Internet infrastructure couldn’t be publicly owned. It could function pretty much like any other public utility.

Yeah but capitalism also made reddit great

Engineers and designers made it great. Reddit could very well exist without capitalism (see Lemmy). What fucked up Reddit was explicitly capitalist incentives.

Yes because people never communicated over the Internet before Glorious Visionary Entrepreneurs from the Great Private Sector took hold of it and gave us all these Valuable Products, they just sat on their ass wondering what to do with such technology like complete idiots.

I swear free market ideology is the dumbest shit you can possibly believe in, I’d sooner become a fucking Mormon.

Maybe reality just has a leftist bias. Why should the truth be dead at the center?

I’ll never mention anything on the plane of course because I realize the parents don’t really have a choice and small children will inevitably act like small children but I can’t really help being annoyed by their behavior either. Some people just don’t like kids and that’s fine too.
