Who would stop him?

But think of all the convenience you gain by not having to remember a password! That darn brain of mine

The early years of Facebook as a teenager were great for me! No advertisements, just friends and friends of friends posting updates about their thoughts, activities, and photos. Somewhere in my college years (2011-15) it definitely got worse but not to a degree I’d call ‘bad’. Not disagreeing or anything, just sharing!

I just gotta say, I felt that switch too around that time. 2016-2019ish. Something about how Instagram moved away from encouraging posts of your life to family//friends for pushing an influencer/celebrity sphere. People stopped sharing their lives, ordinary content wasn’t ranked as high. And then the other social platforms copied it

I KNOW! Let’s make June Men’s Mental Health month instead of… wait was it again?

Fun fact: The first logo was going to include Isaac Newton but they hadn’t invented him yet!

Yo I pay for premium and it’s been fucking slow. Cancel my subscription? Guess I might need to.

I’ve been here for awhile and I’m still trying to learn lemmy specific lingo thrown out like tankie and some others

Same but I didn’t turn around til my 20s. Educate yourself and your loved ones! Sugar is highly unnecessary, especially in liquid form!

From what I’ve experienced, it feels toxic in a bizarre liberal, Linux-nerd white knight kindof way. Which I think almost wraps back around to not being toxic at all and just feeling friendly in a passive aggressive way? Like going to a computer convention held on a hot, sunny beach. Sure, every here mostly agrees and likes the same geeky stuff but we can easily be too cranky about it, one way or another. Lemmy seems way more likely to engage in real conversation in comments and not just one-line jokes than Reddit. People seem more passionate about their hobbies or viewpoints. More likely to help if asked directly and detailed in response. It’s a cool place!

Sorry, we just had a baby and news of a shooter being loose and governor declaring a state of emergency freaked us out. Just trying to share how it feels in the moment. I will make up for it, thank you for the encouragement!

I’m no expert but look into your state’s primary caregiver help. Sometimes it’s just a tax exemption but idk, may help, if you really had to give up work for long term care of a loved one! Good luck

I weep for my newborn, whose reality will be marred by so much fakeness
