    What do you mean a wild take, do you think tradies dont say this? When I worked in construction it was common to hear people suggesting drop out of high school and join the trades. I think you should at least finish highschool but if you’re really doing shit in school then fuck it why not. Plus its just a joke, its not that serious.




  • Blocked nsfw instance. Blocked Nintendo, apple, genshin impact and the ml news and politics communities.

    That preserves most of my sanity. I dont actually find Lemmy interactions to be bad. Even the worst Lemmy interactions feel like there is an actual complex being on the other end of the keyboard.

    When read a reddit threads it doesnt feel like real sentient beings. Shoutout to the beyond all reason subreddit for inflicting psychic damage on me every time i read a thread. Its been over 6 months and I’m still triggered over the guy who played for two hours and decided the game has to many units.

    Thats not true at all. Much of the work humans need to survive still requires humans.

    The fact is that people aren’t going to work and getting paid by businesses that produce products nobody wants.

    You are overthinking about a meme. There is nothing stopping you and 3 people from having a picnic in the park. I could do it every week. Someone unemployed getting the benefit could do this every week. Thinking that the current economic system is preventing people from this is insane.



  • Its hard to break into peoples minds with no advertising budget.We can’t tell people on reddit about Lemmy because reddit bans your account.

    Lemmy got a ton of traffic after the api black out and it did an incredible Job at retaining a lot of those users. There were 200k active users and Lemmy was much more unstable at the time. Active users did fall off as expected but 50k stayed for 2 years. Thats great in my opinion. If we had another migration wave I reckon the retention would be even higher.

    For someone to switch from reddit to Lemmy three things need to happen

    1. They need to know it exists

    2. They need to dislike reddit or centralised corporate controlled social media on an ideological level.

    3. They need something disruptive to happen. Either a ban or a change they dont like.
