IIRC China is supposedly atheist, and so was the Soviet Union, but things were not particularly rosy there either. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_history_in_the_Soviet_Union

Whether religion or not, it’s often a case of despicable hardliners taking charge and making things worse for pretty much everyone but them.

Again: Who else? The rest of the world is in varying degrees of “ass backwards”, especially regarding social issues. Hell, a lot of them aren’t even moving forward but backward.

Non religious conservatism is a thing. Those countries also tend to be much worse on women’s rights too.

Why? Who else would come before that? Europe & North America are the most progressive places on Earth for quite a while now.

Any sort of !fediverse.link should just automatically be translated into whatever instance & software you’re using imo.

And what makes you think that other software / sites do not?

The Fediverse is more than just Lemmy. If you’d make a Lemmy exclusive solution, then only Lemmy would actually be able to use it.

Huh. Okay, that’s odd.

!community@domain.name

Should work fine. Not sure how your comment syntax looked like but the second link also worked properly, just not the first one.

!linux@programming.dev

It’s something that needs to be done on the activitypub protocol level. As users we can only work with what we got available to us.

Shootings and other weird wack things aren’t though, much more than there are terrorist attacks in Europe. As a German I’d not want to live in the US at all (not just for that reason though).

I get your point, but let’s not call flat chested women “flatties”, even in imaginary quotes. There’s clearly enough of a stigma around petite women already.
