I did too but I still see the users. It just blocks all their communities.
How come nothing came of that?
I'm so sorry your friend is going through that. Unfortunately, generational trauma is real and its slows if not full on stops progress. I hold this same sort of hypothesis for the education system. Why teachers continue to repeat the mistakes of the past and continue to use teacher-centered strategies despite most teachers believing in student-centered philosophies. We model our behavior off of those before us, and that leads us to make the same mistakes as them. Slowly shedding one or two things, but holding the majority. It requires an insane amount of deprogramming and self-reflection that we are not trained to do. I hope your friend is able to get away from all that toxicity and find a happy and healthy relationship. For their own sake, but also for future generations to learn from and hopefully we can collectively as a society work to break down these toxic habits

Here's my hypothesis. Relationships have historically (with some exceptions) been patriarchal and dominating. Men held power in society, but still needed women. So emotionally absent, toxic, authoritarian men looking for women, not for real companionship, but for reproduction and to have a servant basically. Women being forced into this role couldn't openly express their issues without facing abuse so this culture of body language and subtle communication developed. This purely utilitarian and authoritarian style of relationship has been degrading in place of relationships built on mutual love and desire, but we still are influenced by how our parents treated each other, and each generation is slowly breaking away from this tradition. Some individuals more than others.
But this is not based on any sort of research or anything. This is my own uneducated guess and should be taken as such.
Ok boomer
They're like fascists
Wasn't the whole .ml domain an issue way back during the reddit migration too, cause its the domain for Mali? I remember it being an issue when I came over to Lemmy, which was back during that migration. When Reddit locked down its api and a bunch of redditors (me included) did a "blackout" to protest.
You're right, we should focus on Lemmy.ml instead.
I've been building up my collection by browsing my local Bullmoose (idk how widespread that store is) and other places that sell CDs. I've got a disk reader a friend gave me to rip them.
Oh do you have any recommendations on how to do that? I've just been using Syncthing which works fine, but I'm curious if you have better ways of doing it
Thank you for the "explain it to me like I am 5" answer. I may be college educated, but that is in history. I am still basically elementary level with my math lmao
Paid subreddits? Please tell me you are kidding lol, that is insane. Fuck Spez
I am so glad I swapped to downloading my music rather than streaming. Fuck Spotify and every other streaming service. Owning my music is more important to me than any level of "convenience" those services pretend to offer
Maybe the meme was the Greenlands we took along the way
I really like bologna. I'll eat it by itself fresh outta the fridge as a snack sometimes.

What happened with hexbear?
