  • As much as I agree, it was reddit going mainstream that brought all the bots and trolls and psyops and marketers and ai scrapers. Lemmy staying a low profile but active minority of social media will keep it truer and less attractive to manipulators in my opinion.

    Reddit was great back when the normies were on Facebook, Facebook was great when the Normie’s were all scattered across MySpace, digg, tumbler, etc or just plainly not online yet.

    Lemmy is great right now, I don’t want it to be mainstream, and when it does I’ll know to start looking elsewhere or at least to an instance that’s defederated from the mainstream network



  • I’ve thought about this to, I’m doing quite well financially, not rich, but rich enough where I could buy a humble couple acres in the countryside and do sustenance farming/gardening while following my hobbies and doing small work to sustain myself slowly rather than working my big corporate job and paying a mortgage and running the capitalist treadmill

    I haven’t made the decision yet, but I’m building towards it

    I have a nice, but small, garden in my backyard with a hammock, and I find myself escaping to it whenever I have a spare moment because its one of the very few places I feel calm and happy and meaningful - and eating veggies, herbs, and flowers strait from the garden, from your soil and labor, is something that truly is special and not reproducible at any store or restaurant - no matter how fancy

    I think I’d rather live slowly and simply and humbly with my garden and hobbies, than how I’m living now rushed, complexly, hollowly in the city with my corporate job




  • I need America to not fall to the current fascists literally in power right now, who are making lists of people with genetic traits, who are kidnapping residents and citizens off the streets and putting them in black sites, and who are arresting judges, while they stiffle Congress, supreme courts, and state and city governments.

    I have one enemy who wants to kill me, and another who wears a colored shirt. I know who my enemy is and who I need to protest against.

    I know which plays a larger threat.
