  • I think some people would like that actually. In Sweden where I live, a new gender neutral word called “hen” has been introduced as “human of unspecified gender”, and its encouraged to use that instead of saying him or her, to avoid “bias”. Which is what the previous poster talked about.



  • You also lose the ability to understand the world. By removing typing ( I guess its called that?), you turn black and white into gray. You remove differences that are there, and you make the language less specific.

    If someone asks you if your baby is a female or a male, you are feeling content saying its a human?

    Or if someone asks you if their colleagues will be mostly male or female if they go into nursing, you will say it doesnt matter?

    It does matter. Gender matters.


  • Whats the obsession with not gendering things? There are differences between male and female behavior. Maybe not in this case, but I see a lot of people on Lemmy who wants genders to not be specified at all.

    I like having genders. I like our differences. To me its normal. Im not going to change my language. Absolutely not going to say humans when I mean a male or a female.

    I just got so disappointed that he was with Trump in that press conference recently. I dont know the full situation, I guess he was there to get some funding for some martial arts stuff, but seeing him friendly with Trump was very sad.

    I dont care about American politics but Trump as a person is just horrible, so its not about the politics. Its about the person.












  • If you sort comments by upvotes in your app, you will see what happened as the top comment. But it was a temporary problem, no need to panic for that reason.

    But I agree with others, users should spread out to more instances to help keep the fediverse healthy and other instances active. Otherwise we encourage Reddit 2.0.

    I have never used lemmy.world myself, because it goes against the fediverse idea to flock together on the same instance.
