I have a persistent 12,500Hz ringing in my ears. Doesn’t bother me (yet), but I know some older folks that have issues sleeping because of it. Hope the research is productive!

I’ve mostly left reddit and switched to beehaw, but I posted on somewhat of a niche tech-related subreddit today since there really isn’t a community for that here yet. And wow, I got instantly downvoted twice and the first comment response was rude and hostile. All I posted was a feature suggestion for software that I...
The other day, I was reading an article linked from a post using an account on another instance that I created while my registration was pending here.
By the time I finished reading and returned to the lemmy post, it had been down voted to -7 and the only two comments were about how the topic was no good because the article source was known low-quality.
After reading, I didn’t detect any evidence of their claims, and found the information was well-sourced, though the writer was admittedly biased in their conclusions. I suspected the commenter didn’t read, and dismissed it based on the source alone.
I asked what about the article they had found objectionable, as I found mostly factual reporting of issues that should be discussed. They proceeded to attack me and my character, rather than address my comments.
Made me want to never comment again. There will always be those who seem to want to be the arbiters of what should be discussed or how or by whom, and they will always resort to any means they deem necessary to ensure their echo chamber is well-tuned to their liking.
Sorry to hear you're depressed and hiding your true self. ((hug)) I can relate.
I moved to the tropics last year, and here, pride "month" is actually pride week, in August. I'm not really sure that I should come out to my neighbors here, as this place is still sort of 1950's in its views on gender roles. A male friend recently apologized for doing dishes in front of me with, "sorry I have to do this woman's work."
It's hard settling into a new country, and I'll have to see how I feel when the time comes.
38yrs bi, but only about 6yrs proud of it. At least I can say that I'm happier repressed in the tropics than the US Northeast! 🏳️🌈
