  • Well, I tried.

    I refused to use messenger for about 6years and I tried to bring people to signal (at least ~most of my family still uses it), but after changing environment and essentially doing a semi-fresh start, I realized I had to give up some (much) privacy to have any social life.

    I’d really like not to have such a dilemma, but I dont think I would go very far with ~zero social life (would probably have strong depression, no friends and possibly many other issues).🥲 Fb is ~forcing it to us.

    At least while I might have lost some privacy, I help others gain privacy (I help them use/find open source, privacy respecting alternatives to various programs).

    Also, Signal really didnt help me convince people use it by requesting a phone number… Its hard to convince people that dont care much about privacy and want ease of access to give their phone number to an unknown app (I know it’s not that big of a deal, but they dont know what I know and dont care much even if I explain it to them).

    PS. I’m still not making an insta account tho😅


  • I didn’t pay much attention to the fact that I was an advertisment, but in the last few years I realized it and got really intolerant of ~any cloth that uses its brand name/logo as its design. (And I prefer it even more if there is no logo of the company on the outside of the cloth at all.)

    They should do better, they should come up with better designs or just use plain colors. I dont want to have their brand name on me.

    (They could also play with the shape, not just the colors of the clothes, but gendered/fast fashion has decided that men shouldn’t have many options, especially on that aspect…)


  • all those talented female lyricists and R&B singers who got Thanos snapped out of existence in the late 90s because they didn’t want to sell sex

    I dont know much about 90s music😅, could you please share some of those lyricists and singers (or suggest any of their songs)? I’m interested in listening to some of their songs :)

    Kinda sad that I wasn’t much aware of this issue…



  • I just realised that I’ve blocked posts containing the last name of the famous felon who got shot recently long ago. I went into Lemmy to see any news about it and found it weird that there weren’t many, now it makes sense.😆

    (In my keywords I’ve only filtered this name and the first name of the other guy with the space/car company.)

    Smart move the latter, ~didn’t think it.

    About the former, I recently realized in practice that it’s important to pick up activities etc. that you like and that attract people you can bond with. For example I like weightlefting at gym, but I realized it attracts so many people with repulsive ideologies, while I tried dancing and mobility classes the same gym offers and the environment was much much better, I found many good people there. (I still do weightlifting though and I found some good people there too.)

    Plus, voicing your opinions helps a lot to filter people (I’m struggling a lot with this though).

    Lol, people here do a lot of assumptions. I typically do like ~9k steps each day, I spent a lot of time outside, go to gym etc. but 1)having hard tasks to do and 2)spending a lot of time alone (alone meaning without interacting face to face with real friends) for various reasons contributes to this.
