@nprofile…9hsm Bizarro world version of that is when I worked at US News company years ago and discovered someone’s home directory (that left the company) was essential to the infrastructure of everything.

@nprofile…9hsm Fidelity did give me a maids outfit and cat ears. Vanguard gave me a tail, which was too aggressive of an investment strategy for me personally

@nprofile…9hsm ohhhh right i forgot chapo existed. Feels 5 years since ive thought about them.
I vaguely remember one of those guys creeping on an acquaintance of mine when she was underaged many years ago.
Wild they had as big of a heyday as they did, absolute trash

@nprofile…9hsm Yeah I probably just didn’t know the name back then. Assuming that was the period where people were trying to dox our members? I remember that being a thing, and them often just being wrong

@nprofile…9hsm no additions but it is a shame that tech not being fun has persisted. The “everything is terrible” vibe of the last decade seemed to latch onto AI and just spin out into all tech is bad and boring and exploitative

@nprofile…9hsm my conspiracy theory is spammers try to do a lot of terribly obvious spam to overwhelm moderators so less obvious spam has a better chance of passing thru

2025-02-24 05:43:51

@nprofile…qvg2 Yeah admittedly it does end up in a kind of "works when thoughtful moderators run things" territory.
I think my main take is it should be possible to respect your LGTBQ / racial minority members + enforce basic decency while short circuiting communities trending towards becoming a generic left/right blob (r/agedlikemilk , r/memesopdidnotlike, unions releasing statements on Israel/Palestine, etc)
I believe once you allow a certain level of politics the above becomes inevitable.

2025-02-24 00:20:21

Hot, likely unpopular take:
Subreddits, forums, working groups, etc that implement “no unrelated politics” rules are usually correct in doing so.
People use “my identity is politics” which is high level fair, but I find is often used as a “foot in the door” to insert all of one’s politics into a setting it doesn’t belong.

@nprofile…qvg2
Paraphrased responses when i press those people
“well democrats shouldn’t have put out such a terrible candidate if they wanted my vote”
“All the democrats had to do is not genocide”
“She ran a terrible campaign and did not run on anything but trump bad”
“They should have a primary” “well no i wouldn’t vote for her if she won that primary”
“This is the fault of the two party system not me”
“It wouldnt have changed anything, there would still be a genocide”

@nprofile…9hsm Yeahhh thats why i was leaning movies too. Seems like “hey want to goof while watching silly Jean Claude Van Dam movie” is an easier sell plus can be done more frequently without much prep

2024-12-28 20:08:21

Has anyone ever had success with starting a small internet group / discord? Any tips to start one?
One idea i have been playing around with is a movie club. Watching either good movies to discuss or like watch alongs where we watch kinda bad movies and riff on them in discord text or something.
That or a book club even.
Trying to broaden my socializing and online is the easiest for me

I'm a minority but I really wish I could have Safari on linux.
But the inconvenience of hacks to make syncing work may finally push me to use firefox on IOS.

@nprofile…qvg2 Yeahhhh I’ve already had to block a lot of folks across social networks for being a bit too gleeful about murder.

2024-11-30 06:17:50

The ability of any reddit sub to become a generic left/right sub is honestly impressive.
There's some historical image sub I check out sometimes and slowly I've noticed more "Bernie does thing" images doing well. At the same time I've also noticed more "kind of generic picture of Palestinians that is 100% bait"
I honestly feel for mods nowadays

@npub1nhk…30va yep especially when it comes from people who don’t vote often to begin with. An acquaintance says she won’t vote until the US stops doing genocides.
She says every president for the last X elections support or have done one. Also she hasn’t voted in like 10 years.
I mean why would anyone try to chase that vote? Even if the dems lose they aren’t gonna go “damn if only I chased after people who don’t vote”

Mild per peeve: the online left inventing reasons to support antisocial/destructive behavior
Fare evasion? Everyone is struggling, they need to get to work.
Shoplifting? They need to feed their family
Not renewing car registration? Scam against poor people
Automated enforcement of speeding? Another tax on poor people, ACAB

I’m happy in the relationship and have been for the last 10+ with my partner.
I would never tell them this and I don’t think it often but some days I think about how hard it is to be in a relationship with someone with a significant mental disorder that is also moderately disabled.
Again I love them and wouldn’t change things, but sometimes I grieve about parts of life I miss out on and the energy needed for caretaking

2024-08-24 18:23:16

How do you source things to learn about politically charged topics?
Real example(and happy for recommendations): I want to learn more about Iraq War. Holistically, the context of Sadam and Bush Sr. to the “rebuilding” and debaathification.
Depending on how I search I’ll get results of how it’s all about oil, all about enriching military insiders, etc etc.
I know with history there isn’t always exactness, but I feel like I can do better than choose my own adventure / looking to confirm priors

Officially saw my first sleep paralysis demon and he's a stud 😍
I mean not really, it was a super weird experience as someone that has never had paralysis before but have had other sleep related issues (broke part of my foot sleep walking and also once every month or so awakened to hallucinations that last a few minutes)

@npub1nhk…30va many republicans would genuinely support me changing my first name to “Spider” because it sounds cool while blocking valid name changes
