Yeah, China’s also behind all the postmasters who were knowingly charged with theft for software bugs. Damn them Chinese!

Edit: Shame on me for thinking this was sufficiently blatant sarcasm

“What’s unfortunately happened for these young people is that because of the toxicity of the debate, they’ve often been bypassed by local services who’ve been really nervous about seeing them,” Dr Cass said.

“So rather than doing the things that they would do for other young people with depression, or anxiety, or perhaps undiagnosed autistic spectrum disorder, they’ve tended to pass them straight on to the Gid service.”

“There are few other areas of healthcare where professionals are so afraid to openly discuss their views, where people are vilified on social media, and where name-calling echoes the worst bullying behaviour,” she said.

Her report added that the “exceptional” toxicity has had a negative impact on the quality and availability of evidence.

There’s nothing objectionable or controversial in this article, yet it’s getting downvoted to heck. Good object example of how legitimate discussion of the topic is being suppressed

This is why beehaw needs downvotes. Crappy submissions like this article that don’t make any sense

Edit: OP has been spamming his nonsense across multiple communities, and has hundreds of downvotes on each of them. Except here on beehaw…

Source? I find that doubtful considering his nick is “Cory Doctorow NONCONSENSUAL BLUE TICK”

I’m a Discord-using LGBT ally, and I don’t know anybody who uses this (nor had I heard about it until now). You may be overestimating it’s reach / appeal.

I’m a techy, linux-driving, self-hosting guy. I’m using Discord for my club chat because there’s no other practical options. People who harp about moving off Discord seem like they’ve never considered user-friendliness in their considerations.

Are there incidents of overseas Chinese not listening to the Hungarian police? If not, what’s the justification here?

I’m currently a permanent resident in Norway, but no worries. I don’t have any particular desire to mod, just offering to help if needed.

Not interested in being the lead mod, but happy to help with the grunt work

Who cares what the name is? They produce decent quality content

That’s kinda stretching the definition of ‘went to bed’. Brave is one of the result providers you can select as a source, and that’s about it

Is that really enough to generate sufficient heat to start a fire?

In case of a short circuit, yes, more than sufficient

Having your last act be spreading happiness is a good way to go

Wrong country

I can understand that. It doesn’t help that the first communities, before the reddit exodus, were by and large (not all, but definitely a significant majority) tankies and right wingers who had been booted off the mainstream social media

People keep making this mistake of thinking of lemmy as a single entity. It’s not. It’s many, many communities. They’re all run by different people and the fact is, those who like to abuse their power are naturally the most likely to be the ones running these communities. Pay attention to what’s going on, filter the instances you participate in, and don’t expect everything to be hunky dory.

I suppose that’s your choice for staying on beehaw then?

Fair, that probably varies a lot depending on the average driver in your country.

An L plate is very much a safety measure. It lets other flyers know that you’re a beginner, and hence to give you more space and caution than they otherwise would.

If you’re gonna be sulky about safety measures, that’s a sign you’re not ready to learn
