What no proper version control does to a mfer(2)
I would never trust that it would respect my privacy in the first place. Why would anyone think they're going to turn over a new leaf just because they released a new service?!
Same, I was only donating $2 a month but I'm not alone in finding this completely unacceptable. I applied at lemmy.ml. It's the scorpion and the frog with these people suggesting we should just wait and see.
"~Let's see if Zuck doesn't act like an anti-competitive asshole this time" <--where the hell is the logic in that?!
I posted somewhere about how that didn't happen to me even once last Christmas :/
We gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers.
Bad analogy, it would be like meeting up with all your ex-girlfriend's other former partners and all bitching about that shared ex because you have that thing in common.
Yup, all that matters is doomscrolling and shitposts, and we can all get our fill of content without any corporate fuckers fucking this shit the fuck up.
Also, Fuck spez and fuck Reddit.
"Beat a path to thy neighbor's door" still applies to us. I've explained it to people that I go in and out of feeling social, I expand and contract basically in cycles. When I'm not responsive to "you" I'm not being responsive to anyone else either, my world has shrunk and I go introverted again for a time. It has nothing to do with how I feel about you, I just get like that and I always have.
This has worked really well for me, with the people who are willing to get it. Often they tell me it's the same for them.
I can't stress this part enough: People are making up reasons for why you aren't responsive in the absence of you telling them why. The imagined situation, due to all of our little self esteem and confidence issues, is that it's about how you feel about them in particular. I'd tried to explain this to my mom so many times over the years and what eventually did it was me explaining that I go "invisible" on Steam and Battle.net for instance when I'm like that. I even hide from the people I just play video games with. She recalled her sister being a bit of a recluse and got it finally. Your examples might be different, but you do owe your friends that explanation of what it's like to be you, so that they don't think this is what it's like to be them.
This is like asking someone to check in on your ex, sure it sounds like a good idea, but...
I mean lemmyshitposts on Lemmy.world is where I'm seeing the most but I'm new here and don't really know how to write that out.
Reddit was where we were when we were younger tech nerds, so...yeah man.
