Because swearing was strictly forbidden in my household and i picked it up in late high school and early college partially as an act of defiance.

I made friends also more interested in content and quality of thought than on politeness and that was dope AF.

Now it’s part of my lexicon, just a casual turn of phrase.

“Ay yo, that shit is fire” conveys the same sentiment as “Wow! That’s really cool.”

I’m a mechanical engineer and a writer. Words are words. They have meanings and those meanings change over time and with context/audience.

People who don’t ever swear feel repressed to me. It’s a weird vibe. Not a fan.

Depends on your use case. If you like the content or communities that exist here, then obviously stay. Lemmy/Kbin/Mbin feel fairly stable about what communities exist and which get actual traffic, so make your decision based on your interests and interactions, as well your beliefs.

I’m on Reddit way more often than I’m on here cause my favorite subreddits don’t exist here in any capacity oe have minimal activity

Sure! Your reasons are valid and I’m not asking you to defend them.

I certainly don’t like everything in any of those categories either. I’ve got slices I’m into, but yeah, the broad categories are def part of my interests.

Blocking regional communities is one thing, sure.

I was partially joking, but anime, cartoons, sports, and some tasteful/ethical NSFW are all topics I’m hella interested in but don’t get much play here. There’s basically no boxing/MMA/basketball/football here.

Each day i feel too normie for this place

I’m not into the skinny models that most porn features and a lot of irl porn comes with a host of ethical issues,

Wait, you’re blocking porn, sports, and anime?

Those are the fun parts…

It varies wildly from person to person, and my wife and I work so well as partners cause we have vastly different lists of what we consider exhausting.

Specifically for me?

• Well-intentioned but unskilled people who insist on helping but don’t have the capacity to do so or the self-awareness to understand when their efforts are counterproductive
• Talking to my side of the family
• Checking work emails. Not writing them. Just checking them.
• Code-switching to talk to white people.
• Watching shows or reading books I dislike just for the sake of completing them
• Dealing with zoners in fighting games
• Lingering in silent spaces.
• Following recipes.

Talking to strangers? No issue. High intensity games? Let’s do it. Complicated or arduous manual labor? Hell yeah.

“Scaring the hoes” is a catch all term for when the things men enjoy in private or with other men create environments that are inhospitable to women.

I’ve always heard it in a comedic context, said with nearly the same tone as when Eustace berates Courage the Cowardly Dog.

Damn, that’s fucking awful. What female-centric communities existed? I know what ones my wife follows on Reddit but not their analogues here

Edit: Nevermind. The Reddit communities i found with analogues here are dead AF. Even the big pooular stereotypical topics like Fashion, cooking, weight loss, wedding planning, cozy games, skincare, hair styles, TV shows, romance books, dating, are all dead here.

Goddam, Lemmy users literally scared all the women away.

A real life example of “Stop scaring the hoes”

I am increasingly unable to take this place seriously.

This makes sense considering who is here, but I would be very interested to see a Lemmy/kbin demographics survey.

Increased rates of neurodivergence on a leftist founded Reddit alternative?

It’s less “venture to guess” and more “I’d bet my life savings on that being true.”

Shit. I’m here with ADHD.

The mod history you posted definitely makes it look like they have a clear idea what kind of bikini/community they want and you don’t fit and neither of you were gonna change.

I’ve got negative interest in Beehaw. I’m not defending them or calling you a malcontent. They might be actual fascists for all i know. I’ve had 0 interactions with them.

Just saying that it’s clear who they want and it’s not you

diss tracks are a weird balance of “catchy + beat + personal insults” that makes them hard to rate/score outside of context

Mastodon. The people are kinda weird, in different ways than I am weird, but if I post consistently enough I’ll build a community or something. I bounce between there and Twitter cause neither community is 100% satisfying

MBin, cause I want to be able to access Lemmy without being on Lemmy

I think it’s hard to formulate a response to this. That man dissected his entire vibe and history and insecurities

This? This the shit i was waiting for. Scorched earth, “burn the city down with you in it” typa shit.

Hell yeah.

So many bars to deconstruct and analyze

That’s what i thought you meant. Thanks!

in my case, the diaspora didn’t change me so much as it displaced me.

Now I’m here and there. Much like Twitter and Masto where i do more content viewing on the legacy site where there’s more content, but more posting on the FOSS alternative because of ideological imperative to see it grow even if its content doesn’t serve me (yet?)

Actually, I’m kind of curious:

What do you mean “because of the nature of the reddit migration?”

What do you mean by “actively surpressing a community?”

Do you have any articles on the origin of Reddit? It came out of Digg, right?

Hell yeah. Finally some gaming news i care about.

If you listen closely you can hear every Ryu main preparing to drop him like a hit rock. We’ll see if Ken and Luke mains persevere

He looks scary enough but I’m curious how he’ll end up feeling to fight against as a Marisa main.

They appear to have nailed the vibe/aesthetic though. That new Raging Demon looks excellent.
