it depends on how blocks work on your instance/client. Piefed will block everything from an instance, lemmy clients will only block posts.

No idea. The problem with having money is that your consumption will go up along with it.

I know people making 500K a year with 8 figures in the bank, who feel they don’t have enough money, because their consumption just gets more and more as their wealth increases.

because lemmy is funny of anime nerds.

block the communities.

a reddit clone that’s fairly active, but small. the admin personally controls it, there are no mods.

I was on it for a few months before one comment got me drive by banned by the mod because ‘you are stupid’.

mod basically bans anyone they don’t like and refuses to allow any topic they don’t like. and a lot of people there seem to enjoy being under a ‘positivity’ dictator. it’s a fairly culty space and they enjoy jerking themselves off about how sophisticated they are.

No.

It’s weird to say it because it’s unhinged.

Love is for established relationships with proven trust.

They aren’t just on the internet.

I went to a college full of people like this, granted they were a minority there. But where I live it’s extremely common even outside of college that people get upset about this. I know several people who are in companies who require pronouns, etc. and I’ve had people come after me personally for not using them in my own correspondence privately, etc. Granted not every place is like this, but a lot of places increasingly do this ‘wear the ribbon’ type of nonsense and think if you don’t display the pride flag you are fair game for harassment and violence.

It is very hard to get along with people like that. Who basically think anyone who doesn’t conform to what they want is evil and feel free to abuse and harass those people.

i wouldn’t be surprised if it’s all made up to generate traffic

yeah, there is less ‘dad joke’ or ‘pop culture reference’ humor here.

but people didn’t send you death threats over Linux on reddit, like they do here.

The problem is while I do all this… other people do not.

You can’t control other folks. And if you do, they will hate you. If you tell your phone addicted friend to put the phone away they will choose the phone over you, everytime.

No, brain rot can’t be stopped anymore than drinking could by Prohibition.

The problem is when we allow brainrot people to take over our institutions because we have no standards. when alcoholics drive drunk we throw them in jail.

really, then why is most of the top posts in the all feed nothing but ragebait?

doesn’t stop people from flooding other instances with their instances culture

There will be another trial but they haven’t set a date yet. It will likely be in the spring.

A lot of crazy people turned it into a True Crime drama, and were online spouting conspiracy theories, like that the husband did it. They deluded themselves into her nonsense and basically harassed jurors over the issue, and the jurors themselves were biased and straight up admitting it after the trial was over.

It was a complete shit show. And people love shit shows.

why do people care about any of those people.

any of the clips I’ve seen of them makes them all seem like gigantic self-emportant assholes. is that the appeal?

I don’t have much of an opionion on anything people on here on IRL go about.

And they all basically assume you are on the ‘other side’ of the issue if you say this.

I find it all confusing, but I guess if you you fill your days with agonizing over whatever political, pop culture, or internet drama stuff, well yeah anyone who doesn’t would be very offensive to you.

Even in my own hobbies I mostly avoid the nonsense dramatic opinions and in-fighting so many folks have. I don’t get the impulse of hostility towards folks who are different than you at all. And I find it weird when I talk about my interests to other folks how they get bent out of shape about how I spend my time doing that stuff rather than watching reality TV or drinking and talking shit about people. My refusal to talk shit about people has gotten me socially shitcanned in a lot of situations in my life… I guess I’m ignorant about how much people bond over being nasty to other people.

just move to an asian nieghborhood in your city.

I share your opinion about trans people. I have known and had pleasant, and unpleasant interactions with trans folks… they are just people. They are not angels or demons.

However, folks tell me that means I hate them, both IRL and on here. If I’m not for the erasure of heternormativity I’m anti-trans, according to these types of folks. And I notice that most folks who think this way… are not trans themselves, they are self appointed ‘activists’ who think you are either with them, or against them. and if you don’t identify yourself with your pronouns you are against them.

blessed
