amazing. the very first line told me everything I need to know about what kind of person you really are.
“those trans people don’t act the same way as me, so they’re obviously wrong.”
grow up, man. not everyone is going to agree with your weird victim-obsessed ideals.

in my friend groups, quite a few people are binging hogwarts legacy at the moment.
most of them are trans. nobody is outraged. they just have jk blocked on twitter. they’re still potter fans.
there’s an obsessive hate in a lot of trans communities that nobody talks about. the “you like this book series so you’re a terf!” type mentality is really tiresome.

right? there’s more outrage than is really worth it. just don’t participate in it if you don’t like it. instance blocking is a thing now on lemmy I’m fairly sure.
- Comment on Discord Servers asking for Phone Numbers and 'Verification Levels' 10 months ago:
what “bad guys”? Whatever the server owner feels is appropriate for levels of validation is up to them. ya know?
- Comment on Discord Servers asking for Phone Numbers and 'Verification Levels' 10 months ago:
on quite a number of servers that are 18+, higher verification usually sounds a little bit more safe. But then on most of the servers I run or moderate, we tend to have our own in-house verification methods instead of the built levels for discord.
the idea of the verification levels is attractive, however. anything to keep the kids out. though I’m not sure I’d go as far as requiring a phone number, I might consider it for future.
it depends on how the server is going to be used. why a gaming server should be highest level, I don’t know. I would think “high” is enough.
- Comment on The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion 10 months ago:
in my experience, you can get pretty smooth gameplay at the cost of graphics, or pretty decent graphics at the cost of smoothness and fps.
I have mine set to pretty ok-ish settings for both. but then I tend to swap between handheld and docked for most games. so I’m kinda used to the graphics by now.
hope you find a setup you like <3

I know it’s not the point of the article, but the humor all through made this a much more enjoyable read. ☺️

this is just one random dude’s review. it has no meaning whatsoever to anyone except him and his fans.
You love what you love! don’t worry so much about what one dude says about the games you like. 💕
- Comment on The first EV with a lithium-free sodium battery hits the road in January 10 months ago:
Sodium isn’t rare in the slightest. according to Wikipedia, “Sodium is the sixth most abundant element in the Earth’s crust and exists in numerous minerals such as feldspars, sodalite, and halite (NaCl).”
salt isn’t going anywhere. no need to fret.
- Comment on Reddit Falls Short of Ad Growth Targets Ahead of Likely 2024 IPO 10 months ago:
I try to follow most asmr-nsfw content creators I enjoy on other platforms. But reddit is sadly where a lot of engagement happens.
I absolutely avoid reddit at all costs, though.
- Comment on What If: No Social Media Anonymity 10 months ago:
I was having a conversation with a friend about this just the other day, in fact. I feel that it would make a lot of things better, but a lot of things worse.
Privacy would essentially boil down to normal internet users, and then the illegal ones. I feel a subset for illegally obtained identities would probably be par for the course. So how to actually enforce this seems really hard to conceptualize. At least for me.
On one hand, I think trolls would either scamper away for fear of actually being held accountable for the things they say, or they’d double down and be even more bold.
It would also enable stalking/harassment/potential violence towards those that are just going about their day.
So I think it would absolutely make terrible people be held personally accountable for all they write/post online. But unfortunately, it would absolutely endanger those that don’t want to cause chaos and be trolls and join hate groups and stuff.
Lots of good. But way too much danger to those that just want to talk about their favorite anime or whatever.
- Comment on Lemmy MAUs climbing back up! You love to see it. 10 months ago:
it’s why I’ve stayed since the initial huge migration from reddit. I find myself caring more about interacting with other commenters.
I never did that on reddit because comment sections just kinda felt like battlefields or playgrounds rather than discussions.
- Comment on Single-use e-cigarettes contain batteries that last hundreds of cycles despite being discarded 11 months ago:
oh my goodness yes. I couldn’t imagine buying a disposable every time I ran out.
that would possibly be just as expensive as smoking regular cigarettes.
I just use a little pod system that has replaceable coil heads. it was maybe 60 total because I bought two batteries. but I’ve not needed a replacement battery for my personal vape yet. Just have been replacing (or reusing) my coil heads.
- Comment on Single-use e-cigarettes contain batteries that last hundreds of cycles despite being discarded 11 months ago:
of course they are. it’s why I always encourage people not to buy them. they’re awful for the environment, they’re wasteful and they are lower quality than you’d get with most standard rechargeable e-cigarette kits.
- Comment on Google to pay $700 million in case over whether its app store is an illegal monopoly 11 months ago:
I’m sure this isn’t the right place to ask this, but does anyone have a website they use for apks that is pretty solid?
I’m trying to de-google my life and the play store is the last holdover for me. I already use F-droid but that is more for open source software.
apologies if this was the wrong place to ask.
- Comment on Beeper Mini Is Back 11 months ago:
oh I understand yeah. certainly. but surely it’s not difficult to explain it to most users.
them understanding or caring about the issue is another issue. brand loyalty is a thing. but then there’s others where brand loyalty isn’t really a choice, it’s just what they’re used to or they’re not skilled enough to understand what the difference is.
i feel that’s a much stronger problem here. that particular subset of people don’t understand the device they are using. they’re basically angry because the green people in their messages don’t look right or don’t load right. that makes it “bad” if you don’t understand why.
basic understanding of the technology you carry in your pocket is lacking for a huge user base. but apple… kind of relies on people not understanding. it makes it easier for apple to go “Green text bad! hate people with that!” and still keep it’s users that might not understand in the dark.
- Comment on Beeper Mini Is Back 11 months ago:
I’m not either. considering that over 70% of the world is on android, you’d think the compatibility problem would be laid on Apple and not 3rd party applications.
- Comment on Governments spying on Apple, Google users through push notifications - US senator 11 months ago:
“The source declined to identify the foreign governments involved in making the requests but described them as democracies allied to the United States.”
Speak up, now. There’s a lot of democracies and “democracies” to go off that description.

I wonder how much of that is placebo effect.

- Comment on Fahrenheit vs. Celsius vs. Kelvin 1 year ago:
Thanks! Same to you! I hope you figure out how to use your “hair carrier” effectively and be a little less serious about something as simple as the way someone records the temperature.
Wishing you the best of luck!

I believe that’s what the other guy who was arguing with you was trying to say as well.
