  • I only use Lemmy every few days, so I’m maybe not the best choice, but I would like to convey my feelings on !veganism@sopuli.xyz using the words of Isaac Bashevis Singer:

    What do they know-all these scholars, all these philosophers, all the leaders of the world - about such as you? They have convinced themselves that man, the worst transgressor of all the species, is the crown of creation. All other creatures were created merely to provide him with food, pelts, to be tormented, exterminated. In relation to them, all people are Nazis; for the animals it is an eternal Treblinka.

    I’d like to adopt the community.

    Also, Wicca and Alchemy belong in the spirituality category.









  • The way special interest groups use automated tools to astroturf and convince minority groups to act against their own interests is a serious harm to minorities and the world. This user is a Russian bot designed to help Trump win elections, and therefore to help Israel wipe out Palestine. It’s designed to convince arabs who are actual human beings that helping Trump win elections will make some sort of statement in support of Gaza. We have seen the consequences of this in the last US election. I believe this is an important enough issue that I’m willing to break the rules in order to draw attention to it. I don’t believe calling users bots is revisionism when it’s true, and I think removing this post would be a mistake.
