I’m not vegan, but honestly I can understand. As soon as you have an opinion which is not the one of the majority, your posts, even in thematic spaces, are heavily downvoted, and it’s tiring. I’m not conservative, I disagree with the posts in c/conservative, buy why would I downvote the things they publish there? A lot of Lemmy members do, however. Same with c/vegan or the religious communities.

I’m French so I’d eat Kermit too.

It’s sensible :-).

But for me, Christianity is not about being good or bad. It’s about being loved and knowing it.

I often think that, even if God don’t exist, I’m happy I’m Christian. Understood like I understand Christianity, it’s quite freeing…

We do not understand enough how life begun on Earth to have any meaningful idea of how probable it is for life to exists somewhere else. Maybe in the near future we’ll be able to conjecture, but not now.

I shouldn’t laugh. And yet 😅

Lenin already corrupted Marx’s ideals. Stalin just deepened Leninism.

Mad Max, but in pyjamas.

That ship sank too, unfortunately.

Some Lemmy instances allow email-less sign-ups.

I did, thank you. And Ploum doesn’t describe the state of XMPP before Google Talk. I think this information change all the conclusions.

Thanks to Google and Facebook it was more widely used. When they stopped their involvement, XMPP went back to its previous state.

The Fediverse is already popular. If Meta embrace it before leaving it, it will come back to its present state, like XMPP. But unlike XMPP, the previous state is a good one. Thus it’s not something I fear.

I do tend to think that we should defederate, but the XMPP example seems irrelevant to me. It’s more like an email situation. That’s something I fear.

XMPP is still alive, and is just what it was before Google used it. I don’t understand this argument.

Synoptics were written decades after the authentic letters of Paul, so it’s quite more complicated than what you imply. But yeah, there were debates about this subject in early Christianity.
