I had the same problem on midwest.social, but a request of the admin to add it as a language for the instance was all it took to resolve. Try contacting the .ml admins, goodness knows there’s plenty of Hispanophone Marxists.

There is nothing I always take with me, but I usually have my phone and underwear. Everything else is up in the air.

depends on scope

I think that a gov’t has an interest in suppressing calls to violence, hate speech, and medical misinformation in the name of protecting its citizenry. I don’t think it can ethically suppress other kinds of expression, especially political express, most especially criticism of the government.

I think a voluntary community, however, can ethically set much narrower limits on expression within community space. If a group of friends has a movie night and Jamie keeps spoiling the endings, it’s okay to stop inviting her to movie night. An online forum dedicated to urbanism can remove posts containing pro-car propaganda, and ban repeat offenders. A school can have a dress code.

But no person; no organization; no entity below the level of, say, Ma’at; none can set limits on what someone thinks. Thoughts are not consistently voluntary, and are not consistently the result of an ethical process, anymore than laughing when ticked or blinking in a bright light.

Fair bit of difference between a map app and a navigation app. I’ll use a tool to find out where I’m going but I don’t need one to tell me how to get there.

I live in Chicago, which uses a grid system. Apps are unnecessary for in-town trips.

Not to the degree I want, no.

Piefed has fields for it, on lemmy I just put them in my profile textbox.

No, most people wouldn’t recognize their own self-interest if it stopped them on the street. Neither are people all that great at identifying morally correct actions on the fly.

This is why formulating ethics into easy-to-remember precepts is a time-honored tradition. Most people are too lazy or inexperienced to do their own ethics work.

That’s the neat part, you don’t… have to choose. You can be on both! A set of linked alts is a very responsible way to use the fediverse; that way if an instance has downtime you have continuous identity.

curl it up under your chin like the statue “The Thinker”

I was in a train station, a woman was looking for her skateboarder son who was supposed to be waiting for the next train. He wasn’t there.

I answered a ringing payphone, just like in the movies.
