    The OP does not claim that all barycenters are outside of the sun. OP correctly claims that Jupiter & Sun orbit a certain point, and that point is known as the “barycenter,” and that point is outside the sun. I’ll admit they could have gone further to convey the additional curiosity that for other planets the sun-planet barycenter is within the sun, but then it might not be facebook-tier anymore.

    I literally do not understand why you think I’m being pedantic here. The OP text is short and contains no obvious errors that I can see. Perhaps to someone who has made a mistake and doesn’t want to admit it, attempts by others to point out this mistake must resemble pedanticism.












  • The effect is not the same. There is not even an unwritten rule to kick women out of the community. Women simply don’t enjoy being in those spaces and generally leave voluntarily. Not everyone does though. There are women on 4chan, in gaming spaces, and all manner of generally-masculine-leaning spaces.

    Please point me to a Lemmy community where women are asked not to post, brigaded, insulted, threatened with murder and rape. I have never been threatened with murder and rape for being a woman on lemmy. Granted, I have seen lemmites volley heinous insults and probably-not-actually-credible death threats over fairly minor political disagreements.


  • I disagree that banning men is the same thing as a safe space. If there is a something in particular that men tend to be doing when they post which you dislike, that should be the thing which is banned – and that’s what makes the space safe. For instance, if they say something misogynistic, then yeah, ban. I can’t say for sure from experience, but I would imagine for the mods it’s easier to recognize something bannable which is inherent to the comment than it is to figure out whether or not a poster is male.

    Tree structured forums are by their nature robust to the “derailing” problem IMO. If there’s a comment which you find to be derailing the conversation… simply fold that comment, and all responses to it will disappear from your screen.
