Reality dictates my emotions

Emotions dictate my reality

You are the 2nd type and it’s an invalid belief system. You can’t change reality by believing it away. You are suppressing your emotions. That’s what you mean by “live in such a way that I don’t reach that point”. It’s suppression. You will boil over, eventually. The harder you suppress, the more explosive it will be when you finally break.

Fact: HUMANS ARE SOCIAL CREATURES.

We REQUIRE socialization. Everyone NEEDS someone to talk to. Eventually.


Lemmy might not be that advanced yet, but as soon as they get big enough to need ads to pay for bandwidth and storage, soon after they will add algorithms that will show you stuff that pisses you off.

Who is the “they” that is going to implement what you claim? And how are they going to do that, specifically? Lemmy isn’t reddit or youtube, technically. There is no central authority. Lemmy.world can’t change how this technology works just because they might want to start injecting recommendations or ads. That’s the point of this system.


Part of the reason you got no interaction is half your comments were shadowbanned by automod because it contained a random word and you had no idea. Most mods keep their automod config private so you don’t know which benign words are banned. For example, I found out the word “snowflake” was banned in a specific subreddit where literal snow was frequently part of the discussion. I had a browser plugin called reveddit-realtime that would tell you when comments got shadow banned.

Reddit is a farce.


Lemmy.world server was getting hammered on July 3rd. I was part of the wave on the 3rd. But since then things have been much smoother and I see a lot more activity.
