Back on reddit most of autism, adhd aspie memes itp subs felt way more friendly and generally better
Take into account ND people generally being more … faithful to their moral rules (can’t browse reddit without guilt anymore) and we are probably mostly ND
Could someone please explain to me that white/not white chart? What is white and not white?
I swear I actually don’t know, and I am kind of embarrassed to ask but I just want to know. Is it strictly skin color, like is there an RGBs value that if a person averages a darker saturation then they are not white, and above that bar they are white? Or is it an aggregate of ethnicities that fall into the category of “white”?
Seriously if anyone could help me understand here. I got into an argument with someone not long ago because I said white is not a race, and her friends were backing her up as well.
I think usually ethnicity is a better way of identifying as that takes into account historical, cultural and ancestual similatities within people, rather than race which is mainly concerned with skin colour and physical differences. Race is seeminly a more outdated concept.
In this scenario I would assume White refers to ‘of european / american decent’.
Though someone correct me if I’m off the mark there!
You’re right. White is not a race. Neither is black, brown or purple. People have different levels of melanin in their skin, and that’s it. People come from different cultures, and have different norms / frames of reference. That’s where diversity of opinion comes from.
To boil that down to a binary categorisation based on literal skin colour is reductionist to say the least. Some might be less generous.
I’m on kbin. It’s just… lightweight reddit basically. I dig it. The one thing we’re all going to lose is the content from 15 years of reddit though. Can’t just magically recreate or replace that in any short time frame.
That content isn’t active discussions anymore, just archive to be searched. It’ll still be there. Just make sure you make new content in the fediverse.
conversations over 2 weeks on reddit are entirely dead, though. People think you’re a lunatic for commenting on something over 5 days old, and while older posts are interesting, it’s not the way sites like this are used. Maybe for searches for information, but not conversation.
Absolutely, people act like swapping over is no biggie, but there were all kinds of posts that led to obscure answers and provided such simple and pertinent information. Don’t know something, try a google then ask on reddit and someone will be either super helpful or condescending. It’s going to take a LOOOOOOOONG time for people to really swap if ever.
You know, there’s a huge difference between using reddit to find answers/solutions and actually adding content yourself. I’ve swapped in that I’m not posting/commenting on reddit anymore.
I can imagine I will be directed to reddit a lot when in search of specific information, but I’m blocking ads so they won’t get money from that and basically I’ll just be ‘taking’ from them, adding nothing of value really.
It very much feels like early Reddit, i do hope for more content but honestly don’t really want it to grow as much as Reddit did and thus become like it

Lemmy doesn’t feel so… young. Feels like people here actually want to say something of substance other than a race to the bottom for karma
Have you seen the beehaw community survey~? https://beehaw.org/post/849832
Neurodivergence makes a lot of sense.

Gotta wonder why 21% of the people refused to answer whether they were aware of the fediverse before signing up.
Perhaps something along the lines of: skip/I don’t remember ?
Yeah I mean, that looks better than what I expect Reddit to be: 13-20

I just wanna understand.
Wikipedia’s page on white people is a good primer for you to start learning: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_people
More on whiteness as a social construct. Although written from a Canadian standpoint, the info here is still broadly applicable to many Western societies. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/whiteness-is-a-racial-construct-its-time-to-take-it-apart/article32301637/

yes exactly! and people actually want to spark discussion. It’s really nice

One could say you… digg it.

Same. I’m fine with using reddit for my own benefit, but refuse to give anything to them besides website visit counts.

I had stopped participating in a lot of subreddits I had been really active in because they just became so large there felt like no point.
I like your thinking!
Agreed. It’s a breath of fresh air from the Reddit mileu, which has seemed to have grown so stale, predictable, and hostile over the years.
