Like I said - there is a small vocal group who few that Lemmy as a whole should be boycotted due to the developers’ political views.

You will find that very often the scams, advice, self-help, doctrine, etc that draw these populations have one thing in common: if whatever it is doesn’t work, it is because you are doing it wrong, not because the guidance is bad. That’s why conservatives will defend the tax rates of people who have 5 orders of magnitude more wealth than they do - they believe that it is their own fault they aren’t rich, and that anyone can become rich if they just try hard enough. It is why religious conservatives will still attack birth control in the face of their own kids having unwanted pregnancies. It is why natural medicine people will defend their practices even after it sends them to the hospital. They are more willing to believe that they themselves are at fault than the principles they believe in.

The Protestant Work Ethic equated Christian values with material success.

I think having a 300 year life span would tend to select for darker skin and possibly other traits that would better survive 300 years of exposure - enough to distinguish it from any existing ethnicity.

Why would a Kbin user want to speak to you, a Lemmy user?

Some people are excessively sensitive to software developer political views.

Lemmy isn’t Kbin and Kbin isn’t Lemmy. Both are software participants in the fediverse. It is like saying nginx isn’t Apache: of course isn’t, but that doesn’t make them any less web servers.

Got watch the threads at /c/philly_test@fanaticus.social. This link isn’t working on lemmy.world, but your instance should be ok. I’m testing the bot using the Texans / Pats game today.

It is a joke. OC said Bernie wasn’t stuck in the 50s, and I’m arguing that he’s still a 60s hippie. No sense of humor around here.

His mindset is stuck in the 60s, but whether or not that’s a good thing is a different debate.

Grr, federation is broken. I’m going to be testing on that site, so you’ll want to sign up over there, or on another instance. Lemmy.world is too unstable (and Cloudflare is doing weird things to some bots) to test here. https://fanaticus.social/c/redball
