love isn’t the opposite of hate, apathy is. If you truly despise her, cut off contact, she is your mother and this will cause her profound pain. I’m assuming you’re pretty young to be feeling this way, whatever the problem is, you will understand it and its roots better as you get older. One day you might think about her differently as you understand her more. There’s always a reason why broken people do broken things. Good luck and don’t do anything dumb
the code of conduct here is a disaster, and i’m sure it turns away free speech enthusiasts, as well as otherwise apolitical people trying to escape woke culture.
It is not and should not be your responsibility to not cause offense.
Anyone can be offended by anything, and by prioritising the feelings of whoever claims offense over the free speech rights of the ‘offender’ you risk these claims being made spuriously to weaken and fragment the organisation. This is how other foss orgs have been infiltrated and compromised, and it’s concerning to see the same foundation laid here.
In that sense this place does feel like reddit, with their onerous and politicised moderation which promotoes an ideological race to the bottom, where only the most hegemonic and milquetoast opinions are permitted. Decentralisation and unmoderated freedom of speech should go hand in hand but the culture has shifted far away from that, and it’s no accident.
nobody is forcing you to play it, and nobody is forcing you to go to a forum and talk about it. If it bothers you so much just don’t go there?
You guys realise that censoring racist content doesn’t modify or remove the underlying belief right? just like closing your eyes doesn’t make you invisible…
