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!

I am unconvinced that people / corporations can be neatly sorted into categories "good" or "bad".

I argue that "good" behaviour is entirely dependent on who is the judge. There are numerous edge cases, for example, "don't kill people": one could argue that a company that promotes abstinence is reinforcing sexual shame, which could lead to suicide. Then another can argue that they are promoting degrowth (through abstinence), or even voluntary extinction.

Lastly I want to remind that breaking the notion that sorting people into categories like gender and sex is a similarly bad idea.
