For context this is the full quote, where MLK Jr. condemns riots but also equally condemns the conditions that cause people to riot: inequality, injustice, lack of humanity, lack of progress.

Let me say, as I’ve always said, and I will always continue to say, that riots are socially destructive and self-defeating. I’m still convinced that nonviolence is the most potent weapons available to oppress[ed] people in their struggle for freedom and justice. I feel that violence will only create more social problems than they will solve, that in a real sense, it is impractical for the Negro to even think of mounting a violent revolution in the United States. So I will continue to condemn riots and continue to say to my brothers and sisters that this is not the way. Continue to affirm that there is another way.

But at the same time, it is as necessary for me to be as vigorous in condemning the conditions which cause persons to feel that they must engage in riotous activities, as it is for me to condemn riots. I think America must see that riots do not develop out of thin air. Certain conditions continue to exist in our society, which must be condemned as vigorously as we condemn riots. And in the final analysis, a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it that America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the Negro poor has worsened over the last few years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice, equality, and humanity. So in a real sense, our nation’s summer’s riots are caused by our nation’s winters of delay. And as long as America postpones justice, we stand in the position of having these recurrences of violence and riots over and over again. Social justice and progress are the absolute guarantors of riot prevention.

This is great, I don’t think federating with Meta will benefit the admins’ mission with this instance much at all.

Epic tier shitpost. Thanks for posting for the de-fedded instances that can’t see @mizu@lemmy.world 's post.

Happy to have you here as well. Welcome.

Hello! Welcome to Beehaw, glad you could make it. Take off your shoes, I’ll hang your coat over here, feel free to come sit and relax in our cozy part of Lemmyverse.

it would be kind of neat, have it display like an updating stickied status post or just on another site entirely, then have posts where pixels are submitted as comments.

I still think the platform itself has a lot of development work ahead of it before at least the main developers could even think about games/social experiments like that.

I’m glad there are other people out there that enjoy looking for content they want to see rather than having it fed to them from an endless scrolling pipe and from repost bots.

The Alternative Social Media version of the Goldilocks story.

Looks to be a ticket vending machine to me.

Absolutely, people drink and enjoy the familiar taste of brand-name beer, otherwise it wouldn’t sell, right? I guess I just wanted to suggest to OP to try craft beers because it’s what I enjoy a lot.

Pabst Blue Ribbon and Busch were the cheap options when I was first legal drinking age, but I really didn’t like of Busch, had an after-taste like donkey breath. PBR was meh but would get drunk enough after a few with my super low tolerance to stop caring.

Craft beer is so much more and interesting and tasty. At the bar and in cans I always go for local beer options over Anheisur-Busch, Labatt and other big brands.

I know the taste of IPA has really grown on me lately and I don’t speak for everyone but I second trying lots of things out to see if any fit your tastes.

After trying big brands of beer, I find that they mostly taste awful. The craft beers from local breweries Ontario actually taste pretty good to me and are an interesting way to buy and experience local stuff.

I’ve found I really enjoy the lime-like taste of Hoppy beer so India Pale Ale-style is my go to. I really dislike carbonation so I don’t drink soda, or any sparkling drink but beer is fine for me.

It was getting coverage from CBC of all places… I would say the word got out onto mainstream media. However for most people on Reddit things might just keep on chugging on.

Been using Lemmy for a couple months total. So long as Lemmy continues to grow, these threads remain full of positivity as they mostly are, and as long as instance operators don’t get tired of it, I say new users should keep posting about what they really like here kind of as an introduction.

Welcome and glad to have you here. Here’s to all of us making Lemmy a great place to socialize online 🥂!

I agree with this. Across all Lemmy servers thousands of users are joining everyday now looking for at least a little bit of validation and conversation starters.

Eventually it will die down and people will be more interested in their specific communities.

I have already said everything I have to say, except: You are doing excellently with this instance!

Even if you set your goals small, your tireless work to meet them shows. The site is stable and the community feel remains great.

Don’t worry it’s not a competition! In fact a non-beehaw user would be helpful in suggesting communities that beehaw users might not aware of.

Get those freezer ice packs for keeping lunch cold or a specialized gel pillow and put in the freezer, then wrap it in several blanket layers and place on your head when sleeping.

A fan can help too.

Sure, many Reddit users will pile onto to our wonderful little place probably overloading it.

Over time I think, traffic and user activity will spread out across the lemmyverse which I believe will be a net-positive. Ideally, low-effort memes and reposts will be kept in separate communities from thoughtful discussion.
