  • Because of people like you tbh. You immediately went to check my post history as some kind of a purity test and by your perspective, I failed that. Yet, making a fresh account on Lemmy is easy and in general this place is just one very tiny step away from anonymous posting. I rather lean into that anonymity as a feature, and people who don’t like it may then ask themselves how much they really value privacy, free speech, safety and whatever else - or do they just want a space where they are the ones who make the rules. The more they want the latter, the more closed off and authoritarian community they want. I know where I stand and I rather take responsibility for my own experience in so far as possible - which includes guarding my peace by using burner accounts for anything that could even remotely be considered controversial. Like this post.



  • I actually didn’t know “ultra” on this context already had a meaning. Which illustrates my point: I don’t follow all this closely enough to be aware of every nuance and may easily say something that turns out to give great offense to those that do. Like I said, I don’t want this egg shell walking. In fact I make a point of avoiding politics in social media now because it’s exhausting and I rather put my energy somewhere where I can see and feel the impact of my actions.
