cool! some sort of harlequin bug nymph?

problem is you don’t have to start slinging slurs to troll people. People can still be nuisances and say bigoted things.

liked beehaw but didn’t join because they seemed overloaded and now I cant interact :/ shame on anyone from here that was heading into their communities and being assholes.

Basically the article seems more like a very biased hit piece than anything trying to open up a real discussion.

I don’t really like this article. It falls into the trap of conflating the vocal minority of people who complain about things as silly as fan pairings with slight age differences and heights with people who don’t like pedophilia being romanticised and sexualised. It strawmans anyone who may disagree with the article as not being able to seperate fiction from reality. The truth is its far more nuanced and we know from things like propaganda and the jaws effect that how real life topics are portrayed in fiction affects real peoples opinions on them. It also conflates the vague boogey man of ‘antis’ with all sex negative people which are different issues. The article seems very careful to refuse to outright mention the actual things “antis” typically take issue with. Which is nsfw art and writing of child characters specifically designed to titilate the consumer rather than make any statement of condemnation.

I think this is the most likely answer, just another power mod.

beehaws LGBTQ+ community seems pretty good if anyone is looking for an alternative

I really hope the sewing communities take off on here.

transvestigators are a scary breed on conspiracy theorist. Reminds me of the capgras delusion.

noice, I cant seem to sub to it from my instance yet but I will be there once it works 👍

staying as long as the community doesnt fizzle out. I’ll probably check back on reddit on rare occasion but only to quickly lurk with adblock on. I wont be contributing to it anymore.

I’m gonna add more bug pics to this community to help get some momentum going now. If it’s too spammy lemme know.

I’d like that shit gone too. I understand not wanting to close ourselves off too much but I think things like avoiding groups that are ok with shit like loli is a no brainer.

I’m altering a bought pattern for a sheath dress (butterick 6849). Its very slow going since I haven’t done anything like this before but I’m getting there.

goth and dungeon synth. I like to close my eyes and pretend I’m a low level enemy in a classic rpg.

I didn’t even know there was a fediverse reddit alternative until the blackout, so that’s why I’m here. But if I had known lemmy was a thing before now I would have moved earlier. If the communities here that interest me don’t fizzle out I’ll stay, I would guess a lot of others are in the same boat.
