I very much dislike troons mostly bc

  1. (((certain people))) keep trying to normalize them
  2. they expect us to buy in to their delusions
  3. they bitch if we don’t memorize and use their soynouns
  4. loud and annoying
  5. they infiltrate and co-opt communities

  • fwiw, we got a quasi-reddit like sub on nostr here: https://satellite.earth/n/explodingheads (mostly just people from here but you do get some crypto bots still if going thru browser than than app using MOB’s relay but no human crypto fags as long as you stay in the sub. but gotta be honest - the UI is complete shit compared to lemmy or reddit). not expecting that’ll change anybody’s mind, just figured i’d mention tho

    Anyway, got plans for where you going instead? Ive made accoutns at a few places like gab and have been hopping around a few places. not much on lemmy… EH has spoiled tf out of me for wanting free speech again. but just curious if there’s any more good places i missed 😃












  • yeah, totally get this. replace ‘phone’ with ‘computer’ and ‘sad’ with ‘bored’ and you could be talking about me too.

    some advice i got secondhand from a fren’s therapist was to try to do at least one thing different from your normal routine everyday just to break established patterns. drive a different route, exercise, clean something you don’t have to, try something new for dinner, reach out to a buddy or relative you haven’t talked to in a bit, whatever. friend had been going thru depression when he got the advice but i tihnk its good regardless. i just need to kick myself in the ass and actually follow it lol

    i listened to one of the jordan peterson audiobooks last year and it had some similar stuff in there. i think one of the examples was if you had let your paperwork pile up and were overwhelmed by the task, then start off with 1 or 2, just do some small piece and force yourself to come back to it and keep doing small pieces. probably can be adapted to a lot of stuff but my brain is shutting down for the day and can’t really think

    another friend swears by getting a dog. i’ve thought about doing that too. if you actually take them out to dog parks, exercise, etc could even add to social aspect. i like big dogs but am horribly lazy. especially since i’d probably want a retired police dog or something similar












  • Do you know if these are supposed to be free speech? Most of them seem like they haven’t really posted well defined rules, except for dbzer0 -marxists.

    Straylight and basedcount seem promising but really depends on if admins are cool with us or not and to what degree. personally i don’t really want to invest too much in a place where we aren’t welcome, especially on lemmy where we can be censored.

    As a tech, I like lemmy featureset way way more than nostr so far but seems like we do really keep hitting a wall with censorship there.

    Would non -lemmy, free-speech Reddit clones be an option in the meantime? I would be down for signing up on lotus or saidit or whatever as long as i can post stupid shit wo getting banned and people going to be there to bs with. Might try creating some alts today or tomorrow
