Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Your reading comprehension is poor.

I said that you might want to reevaluate the use of one term because bigots are taking it over. This is not a new thing, but not everyone is aware of it. I assumed you aren't a bigot, but also weren't aware of them using the term "family values" as a dog whistle.

I just reread the quoted section three times. Being dyslexic, I thought maybe I messed up something, but tts and a non dyslexic human have verified what I said. I'm not sure how you arrived at the conclusion I was accusing you of anything. I said, "but you might want to know". That right there is the part that indicates I suspect you were unaware.

Seriously, lemmy leans heavily left. Enough so that I default to assuming that bigots are an extreme rarity here. I think I may have run across it a handful of times since the reddit exodus. I would apologize for the misunderstanding, but my dude, you taking what I said wrong is totally on you.

If you think I've misread something you can just say that instead of saying insulting things like "your reading comprehension is poor."
