What do you like about Lemmy?

1y 2mon ago in casualconversation@lemm.ee

A lot less mod power trips, willful misinterpretations, rage-baiting, and neurotic narcissists on the verge of episodic breakdowns.

I do wish Lemmy felt more than just an online repository, though. I don't know how to get to know anyone since there haven't been many things relevant to me.

K.O.L.M.

How do I make Lemmy feel less dead?

Darn. Well, I'll just focus on my own community for now and wait for relevant communities to exist.

So most content is just politics and memes atm?

Yes! I have finals next week.

Next month, I'll schedule in time to work on my Discord server and share the invite here.

I created a Discord server with more privacy than is afforded elsewhere, but I need to adjust the bot automations to have the level of safety that I want for people.

Can't solve the captcha because I don't know what undefined is

'undefined' is such a mood.

Hey, thank you for replying.

I agree that it's faulty to think nobody cares, and I do have some who do care about me.

However, ~75% - 95% of individuals I've encountered have either ignored my dire circumstances, or even actively gone out of their way to invest their time, money, energy, etc. to harm me.

I pay a 'grocery tax' because other self-destructive shoppers at specific stores will ram their carts into me, take pictures of me, etc. I have to either order delivery, or shop at more expensive stores where I haven't experienced this extreme conduct.

I once had a bicycling accident where I had a head-on collision with another bicyclist who another bicyclist accompanied, and I had to do a safety scan of my surroundings and run away immediately since I had no way of knowing if the accompanied bicyclist would get irrationally violent and attack me. The bicyclist I accidentally hit had no safety gear while I did, and they probably died from hitting me head-on - they were unconscious on the ground. I had no way of knowing who they have r*ped, murdered, punched, shot with a gun, stabbed with a knife, fired, slashed tires of, gaslit, etc.

I've since moved out to a safer area, but I still pay a 'grocery tax'. I tried shopping at more affordable grocery stores, and then the same incident happened, so I stole some food as reparations and left a negative review on the place. I've learned that Google Maps will delete negative reviews while Yelp is more representative of the unhinged nonsense that happens, and that store was around 2.5 - 3 stars. The only other 4+ star store I could find was more expensive, and it honestly sucks that I have no other choice.

And don't get me wrong - I am trained in self-defense. I know evidence-based self-defense and used it earlier with the bicycling accident to keep myself safe. My issue isn't keeping myself safe - my issue is that I just want to get through the fucking day without anyone self-destructing on me. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. But they won't leave me alone.

I'm out of time. Will revise this later. Realized I left our suspicious details of the bicyclists.

Why can't I downvote or see downvotes?

Using Mailchimp for now because it's free. I also made a discord server if you're interested:

Both are barebones and will be revised in my spare time. I don't expect to work on them much because I'm not trying to develop a following.
