I simply wanted a fresh space to build new communities on a service that better promotes the visibility of content. Reddit is busy, but it’s also old and tired. Every community name is taken. All the names are used up. Some are actively maintained with enthusiasm, some are run by skeleton crews and others are mostly abandoned. Just because a site has all the people doesn’t mean you can get engagement there because more people also means more competition for visibility.

My objection is narrower: calling atheism a “nonstance” can obscure the fact that, in practice, people often do move from “not convinced” to “probably false,” and those are logically different positions.

I think specific concepts of god are “probably false”. But not ‘god’ as a wider concept.

Also, I’m not denying people can engage in philosophy, ethics, or theology without making a truth-claim about God’s existence. That’s fine and unrelated.

I mean if they do, they can still engage in it.

Nonstance atheism is also called weak atheism, and the amount of weak atheists that still want to argue about it amazes me.

Have you considered you can be a weak atheist but otherwise have strong interest in debating religion, philosophy and ethics and maintaining strong convictions about it?

I concur with you, “non-belief” is a position! Otherwise, what the hell are they arguing about? Ignorance itself?

There are many things around the subjects of philosophy, religious discussion and ethics to engage with beyond specifically “the existence of god”. Some people might just find it fun for its own sake.

The critique is that absence of evidence is not necessarily evidence of absence. So if disbelief is justified only by “I haven’t seen proof,” then it risks becoming an argument from ignorance.

Would you expect someone who has seen no empirical evidence or convincing argument to believe in a god, out of interest?

Did you mean to reply to the other user?

I didn’t say atheist don’t exist. I said it doesn’t mean anything. Most atheist have no stance(they’re not militant). They just don’t believe in something (which most of them don’t even know what it is they claim not to believe in) that’s it. Wookie-fucking-raaawwrrghh-do. Chewbacca makes more sense than atheism.

What do you mean “no stance”? I agree that most atheists aren’t especially interested in having religious or philosophical arguments, but they still hold a position.

Do you know what an argument from ignorance is? Atheism.

How do you work that out?

All atheists are rather cringe. Who guess around self-proclaiming a label that literally means nothin? Are you aunicornist? Aleprechaun? Afairy? How silly.

What do you mean by “self-proclaiming”? I am an atheist because I don’t believe in a god(s). That’s it.

If you think the Bible is bullshit and the Quran is a lie, go with that. At least now you’re saying something meaningful relating to your actual beliefs.

By definition that is what atheists believe - so I am not sure what your problem is here.

Discord shelved these plans due to major backlash for at least 6 months, so it’s stil going to be Discord.

The other alternatives aren’t up to it yet.

OP, may I also suggest promoting this on [email protected]. It’s another community advertisement instance that can get you more visibility.

Not with TV, no. There is plenty of high quality TV in the late 2010s and 2020s.

For me:

Babylon Berlin intro captures the art, the deco, the decadence and the fear of what the viewer knows is going to come of that time period.

Black Sails just perfect

Raised by Wolves I was hit and miss on this in many ways, but this intro is great - albeit I think slightly misleading as to its overall tone.

Pennyworth I thought S1 was a bit silly, but what an intro.

Warrior

Happiness This is just fun, and fits the show brilliantly

See also isn’t bad

Romulus Very vikings-esque

Song of the Bandits The song on the YT video isn’t great here imo, but they actually mix it up in the show proper and use different songs. And some really fit the theme.

No, your interpretation of my comments was that they were confrontation and caustic. That’s a you problem, and you might want to ask yourself why it is your emotional response to my comments was that way.

I didn’t have a strong emotional response as such, just noting the general feedback. It certainly read as incredibly judgemental and sanctimonious to me but I personally didn’t feel attacked by it.

I’m not really surprised, because my comment acknowledges something uncomfortable, and several people here’s respond to that discomfort, is to pretend it doesn’t exist.

Even if the platform is wholly as you describe, people can only really focus on some things. It’s perfectly fine for people to just have their own interests and follow them and cultivate them.

Reminds me of my history day project in high school where I got an A+ from my teachers, but was dragged into the principles office because it made my fellow students ‘uncomfortable’. It was about the history and political influence of the KKK and racism in American society… almost as if despite being the truth, it’s acknowledgement made people VERY uncomfortable… probably because many of those same students were deeply racist.

Good god man, could you puff your own feathers out even more. The idea that Lemmy is politicised and partisan (or that people on it are partisan) is not some new observation.

I really don’t know where you’re getting all these people across the Threadiverse speciifcally berating you for how you use the website. Your top post in this thread was pretty caustic and confrontational and naturally got people’s backs up.

“This depends upon the communities you follow. And you have the choice to NOT follow them. I only read the communities that I subscribe to (instead of sorting by ‘all’), and it is very rare that I encounter the garbage that you’re describing.”

I wouldn’t identify this as criticising you, but addressing your own grievances with how you interact with the site.

You literally criticised a user who said they only follow the communities they subscribe to.

I don’t think the data plays this out.

https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/stats Lemmy has fallen by 10k in a year. Of course Piefed has increased it by about 6k, so it’s a net decline of about 4-5k.

No. I’m complaining about people complaining at me that I don’t curate my feed to be puppies and kittens, and if I don’t, therefore I am a bad person.

Is that something that is happening at scale on here? I’ve never seen people do this. I’ve seen users who point out to people complaining about the /all/ feed to curate their content, but that’s just advise - not complaining.
