HumanPenguin is from the UK, where Irish people have always been considered white. Past discrimination between the Irish and other Brits had nothing to do with the colour of their skin.
Ignobels had or have a different goal.
AFAIK lemmy.ml is the only instance that still has the filter on. When federation was not enabled yet and there practically were only two (!) instances up and running, people on Lemmy were already pointing out that things like posted by OP would happen. 😆
Edit: I think however, that this case was mostly in jest and on purpose.
no idea what models of truck these were if the drivers were good at drag racing
What? This is extremely poor phrasing if you ask me.
I highly suspect it is CG.
Either with an extension or with the Mobile version of the browser.
My music player suggestions for local playback on Linux. Please note that you could pick any of these no matter the desktop environment if you do not care about consistently in look and feel. In that case I suggest to go with Strawberry.
- On GTK environments: Rhythmbox, Exaile
- On QT environments: Strawberry, Clementine and somewhere next year Amarok should be through its revival that KDE has announced not too long ago.
Easy, feller.
This meme make *nix look more like PubertyOS, tbh.
In the modlog it is visible that OP used the word "Dumbasses" and on lemmy.ml that (I suspect) is considered an ableism (they refer to their Rule 1, so that is the only plausible thing I can think of).
A few notes though:
- Beehaw does not allow for user-created communities. One could pitch an idea to the admins, but should not have high hopes.
- Beehaw is planing to test (non-federated) software other than Lemmy in a few months from now, because they are growingly dissatisfied with how the software works (esp. from an admin's point of view). So if you wish to stay part of Lemmy/Kbin/other parts of the Fediverse you may wish to consider not making Beehaw your "home". I in fact made this account on lemmings.world, because I wanted to have sufficient time ahead of that in order to "test the waters" so to speak. Pre-Beehaw I was on lemmy.ml, but this was in part because there was no federation yet (making everyone flock to the biggest of ~5 instances of Lemmy that existed at the time).
Closer to Firefish would be Iceshrimp, a fork of Firefish started when the writing started to appear on the wall.
