  • You can change your display name but your user handle is fixed.

    I imagine being able to change your user handle could cause issues with federation. If you changed your user handle, your instance would have to notify all other instances. If one instance didn’t get this information, your account before and after the change would look like two separate accounts on that instance.


  • I don’t understand these comics. Are they pro religion? Are they anti-religious satire?

    The first comic seems to both warn against satan and attack religion. It might be talking about all religions but the right one.

    The second comic is even more confusing. First it seems to associate education and the theory of evolution in particular with satan. But then it seems to associate rejection of education with punks who aren’t necessarily known for their religiosity.

    The third comic, finally, is pretty clear, painting wealth and entertainment (sports) as detractions from religion. This could technically still be satire though.





  • Some people feel judged for eating meat if they learn that you’re a vegetarian or vegan. As veganism appears more extreme, it causes a stronger reaction.
    These people don’t like being judged, so they seek to judge you instead. If they can judge you for not eating meat, you can’t judge them for eating it, or so they feel.
    Some vegans being quite obnoxious in their attempts to convert others, doesn’t improve things. Rather, it helps those who dislike vegans to reaffirm their beliefs that all vegans are silently judging them all the time.
    All of this is just my theory.
