The admin of sh.itjust.works has been approached but as of yet has failed to reply to concerned Lemmy users. I’m glad Beehaw admins look out for us by cutting off instances that host communities like this.

Eh some people don't realize the impact politics have, not sure it's privilege

this may be a product of how overused the word can sometimes be in common parlance, but--at least with respect to the people being described--that is almost by definition a privilege. if you have the ability to not realize the impact of politics there is a fairly good chance you are someone whose livelihood does not depend on the right policies continuing to exist, and you can take for granted not being persecuted just for existing.

If guilding existed here, I'd guild this comment.

Sorry, you're misunderstanding my point. Some people don't see the cause and effect relationship between politics and their well being. It's not that theyre not being impacted.

Nah they understood it perfectly. The response still works.

If all you have is hammer, everything looks like a nail.
