no need to get personal.

i’m still proud of myself that i got rid of the four different scart cables i had left in box a few years ago. one of them was even transparent blue. a real looker. it really hurt. but i live my best life since then

and thats why you fold over the end. with that you also realize you’ve become old and like your dad. but thats life i guess.

Nope.

Atleast from my perspective there isnt any hope left for the ‘big picture’. Everything is just utterly fucked. Nothing left to do but to live your best life. For me it still involves living by my ideals. Just for my sanity and because it feels right. But tbh were just fucked and i try not to think about the implication of the future anymore.

I was always a pessimist tbh. But jfc even with that in mind its all so fucked up rn.

I always enjoyed browsing ‘new’. Both here and on that other site you might know of. Personally i dont like the bots here. They just clutter the timeline IMHO. I visit ‘social media’ for a feed which is pre-curated by humans. I’d rather use RSS if i wanted a constant stream of news articles without curation by others. The problem i see on lemmy is that in rare cases the bot posts still get user engagement which i miss out on if i just outright filter the bots out.

Its nothing i lose sleep over and the situation as is… is alright i guess. But if i had anything to say and had a choice i would outright ban them. But tbh i didnt think through the consquences.

I’d say its mostly sample size. Lemmy is still small. The ever so slightly off feeling interactions have a higher chance of getting noticed because they dont get buried under hundreds or even thousands of other posts most of the time. So its pretty easy to come across discussion threads which werent upvoted by the hivemind for beeing ‘normal’.
