Lula is such an inspiration to the world. A great progressive.

Adorable kitty!

I belive in standing on your square. I post something because I belive in it, and at the end of the day it’s just text on a screen. Like other ppl posted you aren’t obligated to response.

Very relatable.

I’d have gotten to a place where I don’t despair any more. Like, I care very deeply about the climate but I have resolved it in myself that it’s not getting better. That’s a pessimistic view, but just following the news and hearing about the extreme weather and the impacts happening now, I don’t even want to think about what’s it’s going to be like in 10,20 years.

I know going forward that my whole life is going to be affected by the climate, and I have accepted that it’s going to get worse. I have gone through a major depressive doomer stage before and realize that’s not productive or beneficial to my mental health.

I have gotten to a place as Micheal Dowd, puts it “post-doom”.I’m going to approach each day as a miracle and with all the loving kindness I can muster, even if things look bleak.

I want to say, you are not alone in your experience. Millions of people are dealing with social withdrawal. Alot of ppl misunderstands and assumes it’s a choice when its often not. There are numerous reasons be they - environmental, Social, and personally that leads people to that situation. This phenomena is global and the numbers of ppl across the world socially withdrawing is startling. The rates of social dislocation, loneliness and disconnection are at sky-high rates as well. So this is a global social crisis that is happening.

I’m not going to give cliche solutions but I think checking out Dr. K’s videos from HealthyGammer gives alot of insights on Psychology and mental health for today’s digital age, so check them out, could be insightful. He made a video on this topic called 25 year old loner

This is a major problem that isn’t being addressed. So many ppl are suffering and this issue isn’t enough respect it deserves. To help people socially withdrawing the answer to the problem isn’t just getting out there as you said, but adressing other underlying mental health problems.

Edit: Grammar, spelling

Yeah exactly ppl need to start standing lemmy up on its own. Let Lemmy grow into something new and exciting. I kinda feel it’s just growing pains of a new site. And it’s going to take years for it to grow into it own.

This is so adorable!

where? lol, I haven’t really seen any porn beside someone spamming a scat gif in the comments, but other than that it has been pretty family friendly.

It’s the social aspect that is pretty fun, filled the void caused by Tumblr nuking NSFW stuff. I had both a swf and nswf account if that makes a difference, I didn’t use reddit just for porn…

Qgis, Firefox! Comes top of mind

Just for the porn tbh.

I’m so out of touch for being a zoomer. I have just accepted that, lol

Yeah, I was confused about why I couldn’t post comments, saying I wasn’t logged in when I was. It’s a quick fix just log out then back in its works great! But it’s a bit frustrating tbh.

They are about comparable, once you understand the instances it’s pretty straightforward. But I’m ngl, I was confused at first. I’d made my first Mastodon account in 2018! And didn’t use it till recently because I didn’t understand it for the longest.

That’s a legitimately good name!

Yeah that’s, what I’m going to switch to, was using wefwef,then connect but it kidna buggy tbh. I used boost briefly for reddit and enjoyed it.

Yeah, I have noticed this too. I try to keep my teeth in good health and when I started flossing more regularly, I’d noticed I barely have any breeding. I’d bought an water flossing to try it so it become more of daily rather than twice a week type of affair.

Yes, very disorienting
