Today marks the very first time I've seen someone use a racist slur on geminispace. It's a sad day.

Bonvenon al la interreto, kie iu ajn povas paroli ion ajn, eĉ se la parolaĵo estas stultaĵo! · 1 week ago
@clseibold Instead of worrying about other people using slurs, maybe worry about *YOU* insulting people. · 1 week ago
@astroseneca Clearly you think so highly of yourself that you would imply you are more philosophical than the millions of people in countries with more diversity. You should reflect on that first before you even attempt to respond to me.
Good day. · 1 week ago
@astroseneca Quite a vague response. Anyways, what I believe is an actual philosophical take is realizing that being part of a community means supporting those around you when they are attacked. Gemini has never been a white-person-only protocol. We have great minds here who are LGBTQ+, Allies, Latino/Latina, Native American, Black, etc. "Alt-right" has no place in a functioning society because it is destructive, selfish, and unempathetic. It is not what originated Gemini, and any attempt to call "alt-right", racism, or homophobia a valid philosophy will not fly with me, because it *isn't* a valid philosophy, and never has been. · 1 week ago
I have a rather philosophical attitude towards this, especially since I was not born into a forcibly formed melting pot of nations with self-castration on such topics. Besides, yesterday the Gemini community tried to become a society in a broader sense, and I’m also sad, because I wasn’t smart enough to read when the morality police came out.
@yamato, I am a troll and have been among us for a long time. · 1 week ago
That could be something good and something bad. It means that gemini is gaining attention, and bad because trolls inevitably will join. But most likely they will leave soon since they won't get the attention that they need. · 1 week ago
There's been some younger audiences filtering into gemini recently, which is a good thing! It does sometimes result in people like that saying dumb stuff just to get attention though, unfortunately. · 1 week ago
