No. Extend is the part where they add their own proprietary features to the protocol that create interoperability problems with the rest of the services using the protocol.
No - semantic satiation is when you read or hear a word so much in a short timeframe that it stops feeling like a real word, and briefly feels like just a jumble of letters/sounds.
If this question is “Would you rather everyone be able to talk, or just people who are correct?” Then, uhm, correct according to who?
I prefer having a range of forums of different functions, from “Only my friends can speak” to “everyone, save for those who use speech to harass or intimidate, can speak” to “only the teacher can speak.” None of those fit neatly into either category here (even teachers are sometimes wrong).
Mx is common-ish among nonbinary people. Here’s a relevant poll regarding people’s usages of it: https://www.gendercensus.com/results/2023-mx/
About 2300 in Terraria. Great game.
Wars tend to involve civilians getting hurt, because yeah, it’s cheaper and easier to disregard international law.
I wouldn’t generalize that to evil always winning vs good, though. Human life is complicated, and mean, but progress gets made anyway. There’s a reason most people dislike war.
Huh, okay. Good on you for being consistent.
I find the banning of individual users to be highly necessary, to prevent spam of porn/nazi shit/general assholery. Instead of everyone having to spend a long time forming their own blocklist, they can sign up for an instance with a mod team that they trust to do it for them. Defederation is a useful tool towards that end, because (for example) Exploding Heads is an instance that explicitly allows racism and such, so a well-moderated instance will defederate with them rather than having to ban hundreds or thousands of individual trolls who sign up over there because they like racism.
Are you also against the idea of banning individual users for the content they post?
Subscribing to a community does not curate content. All subscribing does is add it to your list of subscribed communities, so it’s one of the ones that shows up when you look into your Subscribed feed (sometimes called the Home feed). Subscribing to a community will not impact the Local feed or the All feed.
Lemmy does not have “curated content” outside of your subscriptions adding to the Subscribed feed, and your blocks taking away from all feeds.

It includes transgender women, but I don't think doing so skews the numbers. AFAIK in the US there are about the same number of trans women as trans men, so any increase in the queer percentage from trans women would be balanced out by the decrease from excluding trans men.
I'd expect an AFAB-specific poll to have a slightly higher queer percentage, since it would include nonbinary people while this poll excludes them.
