  • Blocking regional communities is one thing, sure.

    I was partially joking, but anime, cartoons, sports, and some tasteful/ethical NSFW are all topics I’m hella interested in but don’t get much play here. There’s basically no boxing/MMA/basketball/football here.

    Each day i feel too normie for this place

    I’m not into the skinny models that most porn features and a lot of irl porn comes with a host of ethical issues,



  • It varies wildly from person to person, and my wife and I work so well as partners cause we have vastly different lists of what we consider exhausting.

    Specifically for me?

    • Well-intentioned but unskilled people who insist on helping but don’t have the capacity to do so or the self-awareness to understand when their efforts are counterproductive
    • Talking to my side of the family
    • Checking work emails. Not writing them. Just checking them.
    • Code-switching to talk to white people.
    • Watching shows or reading books I dislike just for the sake of completing them
    • Dealing with zoners in fighting games
    • Lingering in silent spaces.
    • Following recipes.

    Talking to strangers? No issue. High intensity games? Let’s do it. Complicated or arduous manual labor? Hell yeah.



  • Damn, that’s fucking awful. What female-centric communities existed? I know what ones my wife follows on Reddit but not their analogues here

    Edit: Nevermind. The Reddit communities i found with analogues here are dead AF. Even the big pooular stereotypical topics like Fashion, cooking, weight loss, wedding planning, cozy games, skincare, hair styles, TV shows, romance books, dating, are all dead here.

    Goddam, Lemmy users literally scared all the women away.

    A real life example of “Stop scaring the hoes”

    I am increasingly unable to take this place seriously.






  • I think it’s a facet of the largest Lemmy servers feeling (being?) more ideologically homogenous, itself in part because of how niche Lemmy still is compared to Reddit.

    Many of the users came here after the API died and so made joining here an explicitly ideological choice.

    People aren’t here because their friends are here. Not really. Not yet.

    They’re here cause they want to be, because this is important to them or their beliefs or their identity.

    That’s totally valid and good and fine. But u should know and expect that when posting here, especially on the biggest or most general or politically volatile communities.

    I’ve got negative interest in trying any Unix/Linux based OS on my home PC and I’m ambivalent about FOSS, but i recognize that being here will mean that putting up with a certain amount of “Windows bad” that i just have to laugh and shake off or stop coming here
