  • Honest mistake

    Really? Why not just… read usernames? I already assumed that was his mistake but there isn’t like a timer to post. You can sit here and read things before responding. You can even edit posts after you make them.

    And I’m aware of why it gets brought up. I saw the mega post about it too.

    I stand by what I said. It’s annoying to see it constantly. And I do only see it on lemmy.

    by complaining about people using the perjorative you’re essentially like the teacher punishing the victim for being fed up enough to finally hit the bully back who has been hitting the victim while the teacher has their back turned.

    Interesting you should mention this. I’m Filipino and there was this racist kid in my class who always said racist shit to me and would fuck with me all the time, would even beat me up sometimes.

    This was second grade. We were walking in single file line back to class and he was behind me, stepping on the back of my shoes to fuck with me while I was walking.

    I turned around, and punched him right in the stomach. I was sent to the principals office and got in trouble. My parents were called in and all that. I believe he also got in trouble but it didn’t matter. He still said racist things to me after that but he stopped physically fucking with me.

    So nah. I don’t think that’s a good metaphor for what’s happening here.





  • I watch a lot of old tv and I see communities here for that but they seem to lean towards newer media - reddit has all kinds of niche subs that get traffic and interaction for the stuff I like. Unfortunately its not worth it to be there for it cause so many people are there to just troll/make things difficult for people.

    I also like make up and J-fashion. I saw no communities for either and the closest I saw was a goth community which isn’t geared towards the fashion, but the music side of it.

    Really like having local communities too. I’m in Portland, OR which has several sub reddits - but there are communities here that seem to get no interaction, just posts with links.

    Also artwork, I’m an artist and looked around at the art communities here. Nothing really stood out. It seems to be reposting other people’s art or just art that doesn’t fit on other sites so nothing that I actually like, where as I have to get that mostly on tumblr anyway. That’s the only place I seem to find artwork I enjoy and fanart. I’m really shocked there isn’t a fanart community here. I supposed I could start one but then I run the risk of reposting artwork and needing to credit everytime and the inevitable risk of me just posting and no interactions. (if you’re not familiar, some artists don’t like reposts even if they are credited for it)

    When I use the lemmy explorer, I find a lot of communities like that too. Seems to be one or two people posting, no posts get comments.

    There’s also radio shows and podcasts I listen to and I don’t see any communities for those either but I think those are like some really niche interests of mine and I was shocked that Phil Hendrie had a sub reddit even, the guy is so unheard of.

    I guess not liking mainstream stuff is really shooting me in the foot but like, I can’t help what I like?
