Funny enough, by the time I reached college, my professors were all extremely positive about Wikipedia. Though they emphasized that, as an encyclopedia, it was not valid to use as a source, they all praised it for its breadth, accessibility, and providing citations to valid sources that often could be used in an academic context.

An ‘anarchist’ instance which claims to oppose genocide, yet allows genocide denial if it’s painted red, and where the admins deny UN verified sexual assault.

Fantastic.

I think Lemmy is slowly losing the civil conversations that could be had here before.

Do you not remember the chaos back in 2023 and 2024?

It’s become much more civil, not less.

As if my demons weren’t already stronger than me

I was just responding to the ‘real crab meat is an illusion for most of the population unless they have money’ bit.

Gotta grow up in a good area for it

Unfortunately, as many times as I’ve tried crab, I’ve never gotten a real taste for it. 😔
