I don’t think you quite understand how the Fediverse works.

Lemmy has no control over the instances. It only provides the format and connects the instances with each other. That is the „fed“-part. Federation. A central authority controlling how each instance moderates itself would defeat the point.

If you don’t like an instance, block it and move on. Nobody except the person who runs the server can do anything to change how they run it.

A reference to the „biblically accurate angel“ meme, which is a bit hard to describe so I recommend just looking it up at seeing the pictures to get the reference

Merkel is pretty unpopular among the German left. There’s a lot of things she did wrong, but the big one is that she was a big reason for why Germany was dependent on Russian Gas for heating and electricity until the next government cut off the pipelines after they invaded the Ukraine.

Of course, there are also a lot of things she did right and she was probably a major factor in keeping Germany stable during the 16 years in which she was leading the country, but these kind of memes still seem a bit ignorant about her.

More specifically, Stalinist/Maoist/any-other-„communist“-tyrant-ist. It refers specifically to people who excuse/deny tyranny and oppression caused by anyone who calls themselves communist.

Ah, I heard about that. I recognized Proton’s and Apple’s self-inflicted bullshit, so I was afraid that Signal might have done something stupid to themselves as well

What happened with Signal?

Can using neutral pronouns be misgendering? I was always under the impression that they’re universally applicable regardless of the other person’s gender
