I have been trying to make threads on wayfarershaven.eu, lemmy.ml, beehaw.org and lemmy.world. For weeks. Comments work but links/photos/posts do not. They obviously never actually make it to the instance... sometimes I can delete them, sometimes I can't....
Not sure about other instances, but I can see 4 links you’ve posted to !personalfinance. Not sure if you’ve deleted the other attempts or if I can’t see them
Wow, thank you for the history lesson! I had no idea of the surrounding context of the artist and politics at the time. This has always been one of my favorite paintings.
Hi, can’t report because they banned me for calling out their antisemitism. Y’all need to have a look and see if that’s the kind of shit you want on lemmy.world.
Awesome, glad to hear it. Hopefully the mirrors will go down as well? Though I suppose it doesn’t matter if they can’t post to it anymore, it will fade away
I haven’t dug through their post history, but this post isn’t the definition of tankie, not all communists are tankies. Tankie = the pricks who support the Russian evasion, deny Tiananmen square, etc. Fuck tankies, but this post ain’t that
Personally, I define tankies as the fucks who support the Russian invasion and deny Tiananmen Square. You can be communist without being a fascist bootlicker
Lots of things work like that. It’s called connotation (personal definition and significance), which does not require denotation (an actual definition)
Slur, “an insinuation or allegation about someone that is likely to insult them or damage their reputation.” So, yes. I’m not particularly worried about slurs against tankies, just like I don’t care about insulting or harming the reputation of nazis
ETA: pigs is a slur for cops, that’s a slur I don’t mind either
I can’t even afford taking care of myself but if I have kid, I would adopt instead of “making my own kid”. Why not this is not popular? These kids already came to this shithole (world) and we’re just ignoring them....
What is so hard to understand? A ton of pregnancies are accidental. You may be from a place that demonizes or covers it up, but it happens. Your lack of acceptance does not change the facts.
I didn’t mean to imply it was an ability issue, they are just unwilling to change lol, they don’t care about privacy. Classic “Well I don’t have anything to hide” fallacy.
I just get so annoyed whenever someone broadly says “god I hate the youth for being so dumb”, idiots come in all ages y’all
Yes, it’s why I generally dislike YouTube. I really don’t appreciate the emotional manipulation. It’s also why I try to find unbiased news sources that don’t editorialize to me, I can’t stand clickbait in any form. I like communities like these that help filter out click-bait garbage and instead promote content that is good on its own, instead of content that relies on emotional manipulation.
I still have more than enough content than I could ever consume in my life, even with eliminating click-bait. There are plenty of people with a wide variety of opinions and viewpoints that are able to convey their messaging without emotional manipulation, tons that I disagree with and/or that provide new perspectives. If you primarily use YouTube, I can see why you would think 99% of people do this, but it’s fairly localized to YT and similar sites.
Are you on mastodon? It doesn’t rely on an algorithm, so people feel free to post how they like instead of trying to tailor their posts to draw the most engagement. I’m still on the hunt for good YT and Instagram replacements, I know there are a few but I’ve been more focused on building up my lemmy/mastodon experience for now. I also joined an instance that avoids defederation as much as possible, so I will see more posts from a variety of viewpoints.
As for news/information, Reuters, PEW Research, and C-SPAN are my go-to’s. I recently discovered Improve The News, which I like quite a lot as it provides the perspective from “both sides”.
like either a dumbass posting stupid shit, unfair bans, idiotic arguments, etc etc. i feel so incredibly stupid letting it affect me at all, but then also there’s real feelings mixed in there because it’s a real argument i give a shit about to some degree. so it’s this odd double crossing where i know it’s stupid but i...
I struggle with this too sometimes, from a couple angles. Primarily, I’m worried about how people perceive me. I’ve been practicing not giving a shit what other people think of me for about a decade now, and I’m pretty good, but it doesn’t always work. I have to remind myself that it just doesn’t matter if a stranger disagrees with me, or thinks I’m a fuckwad/idiot/etc, just like my opinion of them doesn’t change their life. We don’t know each other. Their negative opinion of me has no real impact on my life, and holding onto that helps me move past caring about their opinion.
Secondarily, I stress about misinformation/toxic ideas being spread. I pipe up in a lot of discussions about feminism and the patriarchy because I want to clarify misconceptions that a lot of people hold about these issues. But, as far as I know, I’ve never changed someone’s mind, and the effort just brings me down. I have to remind myself it’s not my responsibility to teach someone why they might be wrong. The odds that I would actually succeed are very low, unless the person is genuine and asking questions in good faith.
ETA: lastly, I ask myself how I want to feel today. Do I want this random asshole to ruin my day? I don’t want to give them that power over me. So I work to take back that power and make sure I have a good day in spite of their efforts.
