  • I have Microsoft Outlook accounts with two different universities.

    Outlook does not work with Thunderbird or any other app besides the official Outlook one, which doesn’t exist for Linux. Even if it did I wouldn’t want to install it. So I am forced to use web mail.

    Even though the domain names are different, Outlook freaks the fuck out at the notion that one could be signed in with two different Microsoft accounts in the same web browser. It’s hard to access my inbox for one university without completely signing out of my inbox for the other.

    Now I just allocate one university to container A, and the other to container B. It’s just one of the many hoops I have to jump through to make e-mail barely functional in 2025.





  • The definition of UN should be simple enough:

    In common language, “hate speech” refers to offensive discourse targeting a group or an individual based on inherent characteristics (such as race, religion or gender) and that may threaten social peace.

    A related reading would be the paradox of tolerance, which goes far in explaining why we do not want this shit anywhere near our communities.

    As for anti-Semitism, I’ve seen some of it in response to Israel’s ongoing genocide, and of course the current context makes both anti-Semitism and anti-Muslim sentiments a very real problem. However, I think people on here mostly seem to be able to distinguish Israel and Judaism, and when they don’t it seems moderators are generally doing a better job than on most platforms in my experience. But I doubt you’re here in good faith, so I don’t see much point in discussing something like this with you.

    That’s a pretty mainstream belief for a lot a people who have been completely ostracised and discriminated against by the fediverse as a whole.

    If you feel discriminated against because people don’t want you around, feel free to vote with your feet.


  • Hate speech has no place here, no matter how comfortable these creeps feel around their fascist politicians and policemen at home.

    Hating Jews was “pretty mainstream” in the NSDAP.

    Hate speech is hate speech no matter how many bootlicking pieces of shit might agree, and this is not a platform that’s friendly to the miserable fuckers who have nothing better to do with their lives than to spread hate and intolerance. They have Twitter and Truth social to spread their shit.
