Thats not what I said but okay. I even put a marker on my text that it was anecdotal. Cant help there I think.

A LOT of people suffer from society and the pile of shit we’re turning the world into. A LOT of people who do suffer dont even understand they do. And of course some people have no other choice but my point was that a lot (in my experience) dont even entertain the thought.

And thats totally fine. I didnt say dont use medication. I said stop the stigma.

Sure, nuance all day. I agree that i havent pointed out every aspect but as you said, the general point is valid.

That was essentially my point.

Generally agree but nr 4 pushes the stigma aspect. You should not be needing to take mental health medication every day just because you need to slave for some rich dick.

If you are free of stressing components like a toxic workplace, toxic friends, social pressure and alienation and still feel like you need chemical help and/or you literally have hallucinations, then you should medicate. Currently the vast majority is medicating (anecdotal) to cope with the shithole we live in.

Of course its no different to reddit. Lemmy is supposed to work similar. The big difference here is that it is less homogenous. You can see that there are many different communities for the same topics that are even similar in numbers. The top down capitalist rule isnt the default and not the best or only one that works. Its what we all were socialized in.

Incorrect. You would have no problem whatsoever if you had no company and just hosted in europe.

Companies under the cloud act only have the ability to disagree if the country in question has an agreement with the us which currently only great britain has.

I’m autistic. I absolutely hate groups. Individual people every fucking time.

In reality, you can easily just as easy make your own version of a community. The idea of community isnt that every person needs to listen to your ideas because youre brillant but that if you happen to find people centered around the same idea (which can also be less moderation), you wont be hindered by central admins.

Thank god it does. Very glad to not have literal tons of content every day fighting for my attention.

Yikes

The important part on mastodon is that you have the choice to join whatever place you want, look at the stuff you want, have moderation as much or less as you want and cant be forced to anything really.

The fedi in total is about freedom, not privacy. Privacy in public posts is pretty much nonexistent. The only “privacy” argument i can think of is you cant be forced to link accounts and you can make thousands which makes it hard to grasp who you are today.

Still a vastly better idea than bluesky.

I’ve had this discussion on a recent project. It is much more hassle than it is worth. Just host the server outside of that fascist hellhole and youre good.

Cloud act says doesnt matter

You have to understand the tech because lemmy is not end user ready. The best “guide” is the one on lemmy github.

The answer is propaganda

The complete opposite is the case. Musk is lying through his teeth. The whole world sees it, just some folks still don’t want to accept it.

Nice try.

Musk is insane and lies when he opens his mouth. The whole operation runs on government dollars and tax breaks.

When I wasnt using a password manager for password creation I just did random sentences that were not allowed to have meaning. They were quite easy to memorize because they were so absurd. Usual password check would be 3 trillion trillion years or something.

Not sure I get the joke but upvoted for originality and sub zero being included.
