  • That is something that often bothers me with many recipes. Often I’m confused why they are using a certain weird ingredient I don’t have access to or when they have a step that I don’t understand its purpose of and the recipe doesn’t explain its reasoning or its reasoning doesn’t make any sense. I then have to improvise without any idea if the changes I’m making will significantly impact the final result.

    Only very few online recipes I see explain why they are written the way they are.




  • Something I’ve been for a while now is why this gender disparity is so strong in this specific area of engineering compared to all other engineering areas. People seem to claim it’s because of the “geek” stereotype, but that seems more like a symptom than a cause and I fail to see how it enforces this disparity, considering there’s nothing preventing a woman from being a geek too.

    No, I’m not appealing to that. Fuck nazis. (I don’t actually see how my comment could be interpreted as that since my comment was in response to users complaining about having their content removed from other instances or communities, which if anything would make them the free speechers (I’m not saying that they are))

    Lemmy, in contrast to centralized platforms doesn’t force you to be restricted to the rulings of a single group of people under threat of being barred from using the entire platform.

    My point is, when you are talking on another instance, you are a guest there and it is completely expected for them to kick you out if you don’t abide by their house rules or if they don’t want you there anymore for whatever reason. While it doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be criticized for it, the impression I got from the comments on this post is that they think it is some kind attack to a basic human right to remove their comments from a foreign instance and that admins should allow all content your instance allows.

    The same can be said about the reactions people from other instances display towards news of some instance defederating from the instance they are on.

    I want to remind everyone in here that Lemmy is self-hosted and federated. If you want to make your post visible on their server or community, you have to abide by the rules they set even if they or their enforcement may seem arbitrary or stupid. It’s their server/community you want to put your stuff on and they do not have a duty to accept it. Lemmy allows you to block those communities or instances or even to create or host your own.
