Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds?
That’s just how the internet works. Early adopters are those willing to try something unfamiliar.

How to argue reasonably
For a healthy diet make sure to only eat reasoned rebuttals sparingly. You should get most of your nutrition from name calling. /s
Each level of argument has a purpose. Know your audience and use whatever is most effective. You’re not going to get anywhere calling a doctor a poopyhead just as you won’t accomplish anything by presenting facts to a conspiracy theorist.
Your audience will be most effectively convinced by logic, emotion, or authority. It should be pretty simple to figure out which one to use.

If you’re dependent on the drug that’s an addiction. You may feel that your addiction is more justified than others, and that’s ok. Humans have been using drugs for thousands of years both recreationally and medicinally.

On the surface level, yeah. But if you dig a bit deeper a religious person upholds the idea that religious belief is reasonable. When people have the opinion that religious belief is reasonable it causes measurable harm to everyone on this planet.
An individual believer cannot be separated from the religion.

What from r/atheism at the old place do we want to avoid here in c/atheism?
Might not be bad people entirely, but religion is fundamentally poison to society.
The best thing to avoid would be giving the impression that religious belief entitles someone to having those beliefs respected. Nobody owes them that kind of pandering.

Yeah I play games to enjoy the game, not to speculate on real money investments.
If you want confetti every time you make a trade, just play Robinhood.

“Asians are smart because they’re obedient”
“Black guys have big dicks because they’re farm animals”
“Jews control the banks because they’re evil and want to control our way of life”
Not sure how that’s considered good racism.

So... are Lemmy users also generally crypto supporters?
Unlikely. The hype for crypto scams had fallen off hard in the last year. It peaked like two years ago.

I’ve eaten boiled eggs that were definitely fertilised. The beak is the worst part. Or the feathers. Actually, all of it is the worst part. Not a fan.
