Wait, you're blocking porn, sports, and anime?

Those are the fun parts...

It varies wildly from person to person, and my wife and I work so well as partners cause we have vastly different lists of what we consider exhausting.

Specifically for me?

• Well-intentioned but unskilled people who insist on helping but don't have the capacity to do so or the self-awareness to understand when their efforts are counterproductive
• Talking to my side of the family
• Checking work emails. Not writing them. Just checking them.
• Code-switching to talk to white people.
• Watching shows or reading books I dislike just for the sake of completing them
• Dealing with zoners in fighting games
• Lingering in silent spaces.
• Following recipes.

Talking to strangers? No issue. High intensity games? Let's do it. Complicated or arduous manual labor? Hell yeah.

Increased rates of neurodivergence on a leftist founded Reddit alternative?

It's less "venture to guess" and more "I'd bet my life savings on that being true."

Shit. I'm here with ADHD.

The issue i think is that it reinforces the belief that Nvidia cards are faster and that AMD cards are cheap/budget,

AMD cards being just as fast (besides RT) with good/better value is one thing, but AMD being slower is a harder misconception to unravel

I think it's hard to formulate a response to this. That man dissected his entire vibe and history and insecurities

This? This the shit i was waiting for. Scorched earth, "burn the city down with you in it" typa shit.

Hell yeah.

So many bars to deconstruct and analyze

Yeah i hear you. Reddit was white on average but Lemmy/Kbin feels like baby powder on top of fresh snow

None. I use none. Kraft Mac is already bad but if I'm in the mood for something nostalgic there are a dozen other things i would add first

I think this sort of unfulfilled promise has been the biggest obstacle of my full scale adoption of a reddit alternatives.

As a non-typical Lemmy user (No interest in privacy, piracy, Linux, FOSS, Web Dev, SW Dev, Veganism, or discussing political theory with strangers online) finding active communities in topics i am interested in (basketball, football, hip hop and rap, martial arts, boxing, mma, PC building, relationships, kink, and the specific humor and nuance that comes with being a Black person on the internet) has been a struggle.

Many of those communities have two people or less posting in them or don't exist at all.

People are talking here but not about things i wanna discuss and that's disappointing so i have a hard time "sticking" if that makes sense

Yeah! I remember reading that Beehaw had defederated from a lot of servers; the people who talk about it genuinely have strong feelings one way or the other. It sounds like a planned housing community or gated community but online, and that generates some very polarizing opinions.

It's also the one I have the least interest in exploring at the moment.

Edit: Tied with Hexbear

Yeah! I heard that MBin was started as a fork of Kbin when it's main/only admin went dark. I made an account there to try it out actually.

I'm now considering making a new Lemmy account since I'm having trouble finding Lemmy communities from Mbin

I think it's a facet of the largest Lemmy servers feeling (being?) more ideologically homogenous, itself in part because of how niche Lemmy still is compared to Reddit.

Many of the users came here after the API died and so made joining here an explicitly ideological choice.

People aren't here because their friends are here. Not really. Not yet.

They're here cause they want to be, because this is important to them or their beliefs or their identity.

That's totally valid and good and fine. But u should know and expect that when posting here, especially on the biggest or most general or politically volatile communities.

I've got negative interest in trying any Unix/Linux based OS on my home PC and I'm ambivalent about FOSS, but i recognize that being here will mean that putting up with a certain amount of "Windows bad" that i just have to laugh and shake off or stop coming here
