i was born from one of my gay dads’ assholes.

i feel like I’ve never heard anything about substack and then all of a sudden out of nowhere i was hearing about it everywhere. never used it. now that I know it has a nazi/far-right problem, staying away from it by at least 1000 miles

and the bravery to kill the assholes

millennial who quit all social media except Reddit/Lemmy (now just Lemmy) nearly a decade ago now.

it’s great for my mental health. the only issue is that Facebook decided to take over as being the new Craigslist with Marketplace so I feel like I’m missing out on the best sales of used items because i refuse to make an account and give Zuck my data

wtf there is a company called “astronomer”?

yup. i don’t even watch produced movies or tv anymore. just YouTube or twitch pretty much. and if i do watch studio produced content, I pirate it.

out of the loop. which astronomer are we talking about? neil degrassse tyson?

i can’t help myself

neither can the Oregonian mind

I was capitalism this whole time?

yeah fuck elmo. that shifty red piece of shit.

lemmy trends very anti-reddit and in general is very strict about the kinds of views you are allowed to have here. the idea of wanting to go back to reddit is a very big no-no here.

i generally mesh well with about 80% of lemmy ideology but if I ever speak out about that 20% I tend to get downvoted to oblivion

this goes hard

Like it or not they have a monopoly on the most active forum service. To the point where no other service is really useful when it comes to asking live questions and getting live answers for many different topics.

Yeah I’ve been trying to. I haven’t been on it for nearly half a year at this point. I’m fine with using Lemmy but there are some things Lemmy isn’t great at like having thriving communities I can direct questions about personal finance to and getting a wide variety of opinions. Or even pottery discussion. Lemmy is almost only about politics, Linux, and Star Trek memes. Not much more than that.

I actually think Lemmy has started to die off more since I’ve been here. I’m guessing I was part of some large migration when I started but now most of those people have stopped coming on several months later.

I’m happy they’re scared.
