Read what I said again more carefully. Islam doesn’t rely on the same proofs of Christianity or Judaism even though they have overlapping beliefs. My religion does not require you to believe a man died and came back to life, but instead points to observable scientific and philosophical truths as its basis.

Islam actually. It’s not a dogmatic religion like Christianity and it relies on more solid proofs than Christianity.

The author of this meme doesn’t understand religion, or only meant Christianity.

My religion doesn’t work this way and has demonstrable proofs.

Nightmare fuel.

Just a few grams of Cobalt-60. Being within a meter of this for 5min would give you a 50% chance of dying within the next month. A couple more shots in an imgur album here. https://imgur.com/a/wXTvHj5

But if the parkland ruling says there is no legal duty to protect, what was the officer recently convicted of?

I have no love for corporations but they’re a fact of life by this point on the internet. They drive a significant about of marketing and users and they’re what make a social media platform take off (which is why Parler and Gab fell apart).

Fediverse SHOULD be an ethical platform, but you have server admins defederating any instance that even has paid subscribers. Isn’t that going too far? Are we trying to force everyone on here into a kibbutz?

You don’t need to use the official Mastodon apps, they’re not the best way to use Mastodon. The official apps only arrived last year, and they were intended as “Fisher Price My First Mastodon” things with a restricted set of features.

Third party apps have been around longer than official ones, and include way more features. You can sign in with the same account on all apps.

:android: On Android try Tusky, Fedilab, Megalodon, Tooot

:apple_inc: On iPhone/iPad, try Toot!, Ice Cubes, Ivory, Mona

It’s a process known as Enshittification.

Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die.

The rest of the read is quite good.
