Give it time. If there is as much a problem at Reddit as it seems, its only a matter of time before more and more folks make their way here.
One of my co-workers that plays No Man’s Sky was looking for help on the NMS sub and was shocked to find as many deleted posts as he did.
Something is DEFINITELY up there…

Shoulda suggested just keying the cars instead.
- Comment on And ironically the smaller they are the more vicious they are 9 hours ago:
That is SO true.
The mother of my best friend in high school bred Chihuahuas… They had a bitch named Queenie and it was the nastiest little beast I ever met.
You could not lean down to pick an item off the floor as once you did and the dog was within eyesight, she’d leap at your face snapping and biting at it.
I saw her mom get her hand bitten hard by the animal. Ripped the hell out of her palm. After that, I didn’t go over to their house anymore.
I don’t know if the animal was inbred or what, but it definitely wasn’t right in the head. Foul little creature.
- Comment on How bad is it really to listen to music with headphones? My mom told me if I keep doing that I'd go deaf... Is that fearmongering? 2 days ago:
Mom’s sorta right, but also not… If you blast the headphones, yeah, of course it’ll eventually screw your hearing. If you leave them at a level, where you’re able to hear the outside world around you, you’l be fine.
- Comment on Every playlist labeled 'random' is just a museum of moods you no longer know how to visit 3 days ago:
Hmmm. My playlists are random to the eras of my life… SomaFM, Hippy-dippy, (mom’s 60’s and 70’s rock collection) Teen angst (those are cassette rips), road trips, etc…
- Comment on Refrigerator ads are finally here! 3 days ago:
Well, I mean the rest of the fridge is okay, no? More to the point, what would someone do if they didn’t have the internet and bought the fridge…
Just because something is “smart” is no reason to let it have access to the internet.

A piece of cardboard and some tape will take care of that.

Hehehehe. A joint… yaah… the irony meter is off the chart, considering that the state says “don’t drink and drive” yet maintains several state liquor stores that can only be accessed off of the highways.
Oyyyyy…

It is spendy here. We’ve been in the same apartment for decades. Place is funky, for sure, but it’s home and husband used to work for the landlords family when he was a kid, so we all know each other quite well. Heck the daughter that’s running the rentals now, used to sit on the tree branch that was right outside my living room window when she was 8 or 9 and we’d talk to each other.
We live on a second floor - She was a right little squirrel as a kid!
- Comment on Thank you, Boston 5 days ago:
Perhaps we should create a c/Seacoast community? I’ve been given the heave-ho from Reddit and it’s the local subs I miss the most.
I will look into instgating such a thing.

Livin’ Free, in the states most expensive little city by the mouth of the port.
Kill me now.
- Comment on Thank you, Boston 6 days ago:
That fits. I live an hour north of Boston and that is one of the most Bostonian thing… esp. the walking away w/o saying a word. It’s just the Northeast flintiness most native New Englanders have.
- Comment on You have to be married to have a mother-in-law or father-in-law but you don't have to be married to have a brother-in-law or sister-in-law 1 week ago:
Thank you!
Oh, they are absolutely dedicated to each other, he adores my mom and she loves him fiercely but he is just not willing to consider a will and face his mortality. It’s common, honestly. I am going to be doing a full court press on the matter this coming year. Mom is in her 80’s and is in good health, they both are - but still.

My mom is in a similar boat.
She’s been in Hawaii for decades, living with a guy and they’re not married and she’s not on the will for the property that he owns - even though she’s paid the taxes for it on and off over the years…
I have asked her why he can’t set that up to take care of her if anything happens to him and it’s just that he’s lazy and thinks - like a lot of people do - that he’s going to last forever.
I worry about it, and mention it often but the answer is always the same.
Am like WTF mom, he’s no spring chicken - neither are you - what ARE you two thinking?
- Comment on The Guy Claiming That You Have TDS 1 week ago:
WRt the menical, it’s more about getting the person t the point of introspection about their choices of who to belive and follow the politics of.
MOST MAGA folks are in need of a single-payer since they don’t have good enough paying jobs to purchase insurance policies through their work (if it’s offered) that have deductibles and co-pays they can afford. The truth of the matter is that the country has let insurers themselves dictate the conversations around access and affordability - as if! - they and they alone have the answers.
- Comment on Killing SNAP benefits now is demanding a Blue Congress next election. 1 week ago:
I think the play was 100% Mike Johnson going “Let’s not swear in the newest Democratic Representative from Arizona and prevent the Epstein Files from being released in full…” and him teling the Republican GOP congressmen to leave went further than he expected, and rolled into the ACA tax subsidy collapse and then the SNAP fiasco.
The congressmen are just as blind as the rest of conservative, middle-class America as to how large the demographc of white Americans on welfare really is.
- Comment on The Guy Claiming That You Have TDS 1 week ago:
I LOVE Rammstein.
Watch their video Deutschland and you’ll get the gist very quickly of what they think of NAZIs and authoritarian, repressive governments in general.
They are absolutely off their tits.
- Comment on The Guy Claiming That You Have TDS 1 week ago:
Well, at least they ARE seeing it now.
At this point, you can work on them to bring it all into focus and the FIRST thing I always say is “you gotta get away from the billionaire controlled cable TV and social media sites…” then I point them to the vanilla news sites that have no editorializing, like AP and Reuters.
If they are open to it, I also point them to using Firefox and adding uBO. Given that sites like fb are now running rage-bait scam ads, the ad-blocking is critical.
A lot of the MAGA folks have been overwhelmed by the noise.

My Alex Jones listening co-worker claimed I had TDS. He was al big on Trump as the Epstein Files were gonna be rel3ased, the economy was going to have all the factories returned to America,food would be cheaper…
I just bit my tongue and said nothing.
Now, with his wife’s medical needs so severe that he’s got almost nothing left at the end of each month, he says to me “How come we can’t get an affordable medical system that covers everyone completely…” to which I said, “Well, we could have that and be like every other civilized nation on Earth, but that’s ‘socialim’ after all and we can’t have that… I mean isn’t that what your right wing radio says?”
He’s gotten awfully silent about lots of that stuff now and I mentioned Epstein files being not released and he lost his shit over it. I told him that there was no more “deep state” it was the State now, and is rght there in Washington DC and in your face. He is no longer disagreeing with that assessment.
I think that the reality of the situation is breaking through the Trump Delusion Syndrome a lot of these die-hards had and they are starting to see what really is going on and they’re pissed and silently fuming about it now.
My co-worker took the vinyl “1776” stickers with the tattered flag backgrounds off of his truck and lost all his Trump swag as well.

It is, blessedly so. Maybe this will take the electricity-gobbling AI data centers off line and my power bill will go down.

Oh men, is it. That is exactly what got me banned from Reddit after 14 years. I’m on old.lemmy.zip and starting to spread out and check other instances and am finding so much delightful stuff! All of it is drama-free and I love it.
