Oh yes. Its cringe and weird af

They call each other cracker and tell eachother to go back to Europe and shit, it feels like they're getting the satisfaction of being racist but without the shame of an unacceptable target

Lol I ran to the comments to post this

That is good! I might have read some FUD that someone posted about that then trying to stir up drama re: the instance stuff. I edited my comment & I appreciate the response.

James's ass is scarier than any enemy in the game

That's social media though. Are you around a lot of black people irl? Nobody I know was excited for Kamala.

And sure that's anecdotal but all social media is asttoturfed to shit by every three letter agency and lib think tank.

Probably not best to make generalizations

Aww not on f-droid

Iirc there is a mastodon instance specifically for black people so I think something like that for Lemmy could definitely work!

I don't use Twitter or its clones because I prefer message board style formats so I'd enjoy that

Every single day I am reminded that literally everything in america goes back to white people being racist if you go back far enough

The will of the users seem to be to restore the dunk tank. Call it something else, sure, but realize that our reputation amongst other instances is not going to be restored just because you nuked it

Similar to how Kamala campaigning with Dick Cheney still got her called a communist or whatever, other instances will continue to make up lies about Hexbear because that's what they do and they don't give a shit about what is actually posted here.

edit: I am not cis and I am not het fwiw

Edit2: this was misinfo on my part

I don't get it

Chemtrail sprayer

I feel you, racist servers usually treat me like shit because they assume I won't tip.

Trickle down linguistics. That phrase was a staple of AAVE and white people stole it and made it cringe. A tale as old as time

One could argue that some of the dynastic Chasidic sects do kinda have someone telling them what to think in the form of their Rebbes.

Not all of them, and there's a lot of different subtypes of Orthodox. My comment is overly simplified but basically not even all types of Orthodox Jews can have a legal Israeli marriage, it's at the discretion of the rabbinical court.

I also actually didn't know this until now, but looks like other marriages are recognized as long as it's an approved religion, of which Reform, Conservative, Reconstructionist, & Renewal Jews are not.

Israel recognizes only marriages under the faiths of Jewish, Muslim, and Druze communities, and ten specified denominations of Christianity.

They can all emigrate to Israel, but are not recognized as religiously Jewish. Most Jews in the US are Reform, the second largest group are various types of Orthodox. The chunk of US Jews that are unaffiliated are even larger than the US Orthodox population.

This leads to an odd situation where a huge chunk of Jews that emigrate to Israel are not actually considered religiously Jewish for the purposes of burial or marriage.

There are sects of Orthodox Jews in Israel (mostly Haredi, which is itself also a large umbrella with many subtypes) that are anti-zionist on religious grounds.

Furthermore if you're not the right kind of Jew in Israel (Orthodox) you can't get married. Tons of people fly to Cyprus and then get married
