.ml and hexbear are literal troll farms

If people can’t live lives worth living and can’t fix the systems that make our lives shitty then yeah, what’s the point? It’s just slavery.

Would be nice if a company would try to actually compete instead of “attacking” each other for market share.

AI highlights a problem with universities that we have been ignoring for decades already, which is that learning is not the point of education, the point is to get a degree with as little effort as possible, because that’s the only valueable thing to take away from education in our current society.

The gatekeepers of these spaces are not meaningfully different from reddit.

I came to this space in November of 2024.

As a trans person I wanted community. So I checked out blahaj first. But, the queer community here is controlled by Ada who bans anyone she doesn’t like and i ticked her off once by not bowing to her judgement when it came to allowing trolls to stay in the space. This drama also splintered the 196 community, and neither 196 space has had the same number of participants since.

So no more queer community for me. I’ve had to get that other places like Tumblr.

I then decide to use the .db0 community to report what I feel is abusive behavior from .blahaj staff and after enough time they realized that they really don’t like people using the “report abuse community” to report abuse of specific spaces like blahaj. Banned for using the space for what it was created for.

So no more .db0

I’m just so tired of using this space, it feels just like reddit except there’s somehow even less accountability.

Every week i feel less and less compelled to contribute

I used to enjoy posting like a dozen memes a day and now I don’t post anymore. It’s not fun it’s a chore to keep feeding memes and engagement into this space that pretty much only has told me it hates me for the last year.

Bad app :c

I also find this is a good way to cope with being born into slavery.

Because we are slaves, and we can work or die. Those are our choices until we start killing a lot of rich people

I have tried for over a year now to make this space enjoyable, and I’m kinda done.

Every time I open this app there’s some random redditor shitting on every post and comment I make in good faith.

This is a negative dopamine loop app. The only enjoyable part of it is trolling the peanut gallery.

And as long as I can get positive dopamine loops from other social media then lemmy is just inferior as a place to spend time.

We’re better off beheadding wealthy people until we get a UBI

Nobody is meeting climate goals.

We have blown past the 1.5C marker and will probably keep heating the planet until it kills us all.

Don’t have kids.

I’ve tried bringing up these complicated issues in the spaces we are encouraged to talk about them (.db0) and was banned for not complaining about the same things the mods cared about.

Every week i contribute less to this space, i really wanted to support a reddit alternative, but this place doesn’t look like it will be much different.

Our lives wouldn’t be so complicated if we had financial freedom via a UBI and didn’t have that metaphorical gun put to our heads to make us keep working forever.

Most animals do very little every day, humans are one of the only animals to have no resource scarcity but still work ourselves into an early grave from stress.

I think Lemmy will be a good lesson for why reddit turned out how it did, feels like the beginning of a familiar cycle

Solvent corporations shouldn’t be legally allowed to dissolve positions.

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

Almost anyone whining about antisemitism while ignoring the Zionists’ genocide is an IDF troll

MtF genderfluid here

The more feminine I have become, the more acceptable it is for me to show emotional vulnerability. The more people genuinely listen to me and not treat me like a disgusting animal they are hesitantly entertaining until they can get away.

When I lived as a cis man not even my friends wanted to hear it, and they are good people.

When a man cries in front of his partner for the first time, usually a switch will flip, and that partner will never look at you the same way again. Being vulnerable with even your closest relationships often feels like a mistake.

Men don’t talk about their feelings because almost nobody in society has empathy for others, especially if you are more masculine, especially if you “look scary”.

The experience being a man is isolating and dehumanizing by default.

Honestly happy this one flopped.

Sick of seeing flashy trailers sell shitty games since watchdogs 1

Isnt Satisfactory a fps already?
