Because there are enough people who are selfish, short sighted, or disinterested, and an enormous number of things in society require coordination, long term thinking, and decisions made every single hour of every single day.

That’s totally unworkable. Almost everything in society would completely stop functioning

Exactly, the nutrition label isn’t a list of all substances found by chemical analysis, it’s literally just the most important “nutrition” information

Ear plugs - not just noise cancelling headphones. It’s much easier to sleep with ear plugs than with headphones. And headphones can get uncomfortable after many hours. And if you want extra quietness you can use both the earplugs and headphones at the same time

Absolutely, it’s not even remotely a question - the ants would win. Totally and completely.

Mastodon isn’t a straight replacement for twitter, bluesky is.

1. My argument is you can’t tell the demographic identity of ANY person who posts on lemmy. Even when they supposedly self-identify.

2. Again, what you’re saying here is radically different than what OP is saying in the 4 points they posted. There was nothing limiting it to “on discussions about being black”.

Again, total nonsense. I’ll repeat exactly what i said in one of the comments you deleted, and YOU can tell me why it’s wrong. On lemmy there’s no way to know what race/gender/sexuality a person is. So, you tell me, how is any of this stuff applicable here? If OP was just talking about mastodon, then their title is completely wrong, because their title is specifically saying how to change the fediverse, not how to change mastodon.

Absolute nonsense. Many of the comments you removed weren’t saying anything wrong. They were discussing why the OPs draft is unworkable and would have the opposite of the effect they intend.

You think random words should be not said for no reason?

Also, you didn’t respond to the main part of my point

Ask for an empty bag to toss the bad kernels into

Well clearly you clearly agree with me, not disagree, because you have a specific reason for why you think they shouldn’t be used.

Secondly, you’re misunderstanding what swear words are. It includes insults, but that isn’t what a swear word is. Swear words at least as often don’t even refer to people, as in “fuck! I stubbed my toe!” and “damn I’m late for work again”. And in fact very often they’re used as positive words, as in “shit i love that tv show!” and “that motherfucker really knows how to play the bass!”

This question is exactly backwards. Everything should be normal to say unless there’s a specific reason NOT to say it. So OP, what is your specific reason for thinking people SHOULDN’T say swear words?

Seriously, this question is exactly backwards. Everything should be normal to say unless there’s a specific reason NOT to say it. So OP, what is your specific reason for thinking people SHOULDN’T say swear words?
