In other words, your post may still be visible on, say, a linked Mastodon server, even if you decide to delete it with Threads.

“I think this is a downside of the protocol that we use today, but I think it’s important to let people know that if you post something and another server grabs a copy, we can’t necessarily enforce it,” Cottle says.

… it’s not a downside of the protocol, it’s just a literal impossibility. Once someone’s downloaded something, you can’t do a thing to take it back.

Racism is the -ism of race — the idea that race is one of the (or the) most important traits of a person.
That through race, you can assume things about them like their worth, how you should treat them, how they act, feel, etc.

The way I see, all of these -isms are all like that (sexism, nationalism, etc).

So no, it’s not racist to call yourself white. It would be racist, though, to say you’re worth more or less than others because of your being white.

My case chiefly rests on his years of white supremacist rhetoric — which you didn’t address. I mentioned those other two bits at the end of my comment. On their own, I agree, they are slightly concerning but not damning; but in the context of his show’s content and rhetoric, they are.

For years he’s been saying things things that white supremacists love to hear: White people are being replaced; legal and illegal immigrants are ruining the US; George Soros hates the west and wants society to collapse (anti-semites love that one); immigrants are dirty, uncivilized; a race war is imminent; anything done to acknowledge racism is racist; BLM protests were violent riots; mass-shooters with racist manifestos aren’t white supremacists; etc.

There are several instances of him associating with and boosting white supremacists online, and even his show’s long-time top writer was pressured to quit after explicitly racist online posts came to light.

This page does a fairly good job of cataloging the sorts of rhetoric he’s used that’re amicable to white supremacists.

We’re out for ourselves, yea. But we’re also out for each other, because we like or need each other. Thinking about things transactionally, that cynicism to avoid getting tricked or hurt… I don’t think that’s conducive to good relationships or a happy life.

Southern US — get black tea, iced. Sometimes asked for sweeter preference.

Hot tea is never on the menu, except for tea houses.

Better yet, check out NewPipe on F-Droid. :^)

The federation with Mastodon is mostly one-way: We can’t see or comment on Mastodon posts, but Mastodon users can see and comment on Lemmy posts.

Mastodon’s like Twitter… its posts wouldn’t fit in the Lemmy UI well. Though I hear kbin works well with both Mastodon-style and Lemmy-style posts.
