you don’t need to read every line if you trust your package maintainers

I use Debian btw

this doesn’t answer the question.

if you don’t think fascists should be shot, what do you think should be done with them? or cops?

there is definitely a civility problem. the solution is temporary bans that get longer if the incivility is refrequented.

I don’t believe in permabans for anything except stuff that would get the admins arrested, and even some of that maybe not.

bacteria, fungus, plants, protozoa, and (arguably) viruses are all alive, too. bed bugs. rattlesnakes. being alive isn’t actually that special, nor a reason, in itself, to refrain from eating or killing that thing.

you shouldn’t treat animals like smartphones, either. you treat different things differently.

they weren’t things. treating them like things is part of what made that wrong.

and treating animals like people is also wrong.

every human being is actually something and not someone

no, and this makes no sense

didn’t you try the directory I linked?

https://matrixrooms.info/

yea. I don’t use fluffy chat, I just use element, but it’s definitely searchable. there’s also a directory… let me dig it up

eating meat doesn’t cause people in the meat industry to do anything. they get to choose what they do.

if I died today there is no reason for me to believe any industry would get smaller as a result, and I would of course stop purchasing everything.

there are more vegans now more than ever, and more meat produced. being vegan doesn’t decrease the size of the industry.

whether I do or not, the industry continues to grow.

obviously we disagree. i hold them accountable for their actions regardless.

this is storytelling, not evidence. if we can’t agree that meat producers have free will, and i am only responsible for my own actions, we have a fundamental disagreement that won’t be resolved on lemmy. but ask yourself: at what point do meat producers become responsible for tehir own actions?

meat producers are responsible for their own actions. no one else causes them.
