Because quoting Old Testament verses like that is a slippery slope. You are entering the realm of Jewish law, where many Jewish scholars debate the law in the Talmud with many commentaries.
Mereo is a sociologist who is also a nerd. He believes in open-source software.

If they really want to cite old testament verses, they should also refer to the Talmud.
Alabama is becoming a theocratic regime, just like Iran. That’s terrifying.
He sounds more and more like that famous character with the famous mustache…
My take, be pragmatic. I still go to my city and career subreddit because that’s where I get my city news and career advice. And I’m in Lemmy because it really does feel like the Reddit of 2008-2014 and I love it here.
Read my post about how reddit went from just 85,000 users in 2008 to 500 million active users in 2023: https://old.lemmy.ca/post/2780188. Reddit didn’t grow overnight. It took 15 years to grow to where it is now.
This question should be posted on r/askreddit…
I’ve been an iPhone user since 2017, so I’ve been out of the loop. Are battery issues due to misbehaving apps (like flashlight spyware apps) still a thing on Android?
Has The Onion crossed over into real life?
Slashdot -> Digg -> Reddit -> Lemmy. Back then, web servers didn’t have a lot of resources. So if a Digg post was popular, it could slow the site to a crawl. Then we all knew the site was being “Digged”.
The title is somewhat misleading:
For now, Mlilo and Dlodlo, are consulting with a slew of workers’ unions as they explore unionization.
I spend a lot more time in Lemmy. The conversations here are engaging and intelligent and I actually learn something. Reddit on the other hand was overwhelming as your comment can easily be drowned out by thousands of comments and shit comments.
I enjoy my time here. And Reddit? What is a Reddit? Never heard of it…
Communities are like countries. If a community has well defined rules (constitution) and the moderator (leader of the country) rules with justice and applies the rules evenly, then the community will be a bliss to be in.
Yeesh. That’s like hating Windows because your experience is based on Windows 98. A lot of things has changed since then, a LOT.
Block the communities you don’t want to see in your profile settings. That way, you’ll see more meaningful posts. That’s what I did, I blocked all memes communities.
Haha, he must have been. We always had interesting philosophical discussions.
My grandfather used to tell me: “What I know is that I know nothing”. He used to tell me that even in his old age, he was still amazed by the things he discovered, just like a child. That taught me to always be humble and to understand the point of view of others and to always learn in life. So I will always remember this quote.
Indeed. Western society tends to be individualistic and forgets that masks are primarily used to protect those around you from disease.
Instances are like countries that have their own values and rules. For example, technology@beehaw.org will not be the same as technology@lemmy.world. Beehaw is a heavily moderated instance, while Lemmy.world is more “free”. What can be posted on technology@lemmy.world will not necessarily be the case on technology@beehaw.org.
