And all of this has been public knowledge for a long, long time, long enough that anyone paying tithes to the Catholic Church is scum.

Perhaps I live in a bubble of pessimism, but — isn’t the looming collapse of civilization well-known, and essentially a certainty?
This is a worry and problem I’ve never had and don’t really understand. One of the joys of social media (including the fediverse) is that you’re judged by what you say and who you are, not what you look like. As a lifelong fat slob and general ugly person, I appreciate that.
I welcome anyone bright enough to chat intelligently, regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, gender, religion, disability, age, etc.
Seconded. I’ve thought the Pope’s knowledge and support for Nazi Germany and the Holocaust was common knowledge. Feels like something I’ve known for thirty years, at least.
Maybe I just have a knack for the extremely obvious.
Whoa. That totally Keanues me. I had thought of the lack of infinite scrolling as a bug, a feature I’d hoped was in development, but this srsly rejiggers my ears and everything in between.
I already spend too much time online, so … I’m with @dessalines@lemmy.ml — no infinite scrolling, please.
“You are viewing this from Firefox on Windows.”
I should worry that this info is exposed?
There’s a lot of smarts in what you’re saying, thanks.
I don’t have any science to cite, but I’ve certainly known LOTS of people who attend church more for the socializing than any spiritual reason.
Hell, I’m basically anti-social, but give me a ‘club’ to attend once weekly and listen to a mini TED-talk and then chat with like-minded people afterwards, and I might be there.
What utter bullshit. The Catholic Church is one of the richest entities on this planet, but we’ll let them pretend their San Francisco branch is a separate entity, so the church can get away with centuries of kiddie-diddling and continue kiddie-diddling until the Rapture.
I couldn’t stay on Discord even long enough to be treated like shit. It has such an unintuitive and clumsy interface, at least for an old fart like me.
“It’s a racism crisis,” my pimply ass. Don’t white and Asian Muslims read the same Koran?
Kinda pointless pretending logic is involved, when dealing with the indoctrinated.
There’s a Firefox add-on that does this, but only for Reddit, of course. Click the line and you’re on to the next top-level comment.
One of the few things I miss about Reddit (and of course, it’s not even Reddit).
I’ve been here a month after 15 years at the other place, and it’s an improvement.
Sorry you got clusterbombed, though. You asked a fair question, something I wondered too when I first got here.
Bad bot. OP is a newbie asking an honest question, and for that they get booted by a bot?
It would make sense to notify a human mod when a post is drowning in downvotes like this one, but it’s a mistake to trust the bot to hand out suspensions.
We don’t do karma here, one of Lemmy’s major improvements over Reddit.
Breaking away is sometimes the right thing to do, and from what you’re saying, OP, maybe you should break away before Turkey Day, not after.
I broke away for 13 years, enjoyed things better without them than with them. By the time I came back, some of the family had mellowed, others had died, and we actually have decent holidays now. It gets better.
