Luckily I’d booked a massage for today with a wonderful person.

I default to absurd but what I appreciated reading about stoicism was that it made me feel more grounded. Ridiculousness makes me feel expansive and unpredictable and I wasn’t finding a bottom to that.
Thanks, this is good advice.

I’ve been in the same place. It’s all small beans but on top of everything else in life these little things can put me over the edge. Proton has an aggressive advertising model and it’s turned me away from their products.

I'm getting hiveminded more and more everyday, did my opinions get worse, or is this actually a thing now?3·8 months agoId expect more voting and less comments in political posts just because people may want to avoid direct conflict with other users. I’m iffy on the whole up/down thing in general though.

trainsaresexy@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Conversations like this are why I want more people, especially "normies", in the FediverseEnglish1·8 months agoLove the words. Once of my early positive impressions of lemmy was coming across longer form comments. It’s so hard to get thoughts across in tweet format especially when we’re all completely anonymous with potentially wildly different perspectives. I’m following your ideas here and I’m rarely opposed to experimentation. I have learned from experience that there’s more to successful implementation than is apparent before you start and even the best plans can’t account for real world testing.
It’s been a couple days now but I think that manipulation of automated processes is sort of what I was alluding to when I didn’t want to commit to an idea. People will figure it out and fuck with it.
I guess my approach is more about patience and subtle changes (outside of experimenting in small time limited areas). What we’re talking about would be a major change in the context of lemmy and it’s too complicated to predict the outcome of something like that. As a fun thought, there is some point in the history of reddit that would have set it onto the path it arrived at today. Maybe awards? The voting system? The composition of moderators? Changes should be done cautiously and gradually. Onboarding is a pressing problem, but I think it could be treated in isolation until a sites-wide solution is more obvious. Lemmy is doing great! Lemmy users are capable of self managing the issue of ideological influences across instances, even if it appears haphazard it seems to work, maybe, for now. Loads of problems to address outside of this as well.
I’m also a fan of sudden chaotic changes. I have a ‘be careful but also break it if you want’ thought process. I love the theory of evolution and I think as much as we want to be careful things are going to happen we don’t want and can’t predict and it can be fun to just throw a wrench in the motor and see where it takes us.

trainsaresexy@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Some (Slightly Biased) Thoughts On The State Of Decentralized Social Media - TechDirtEnglish1·8 months agoThe key to every “killer app” on a new system, even ones that start out mimicking the old paradigm, is enabling something that couldn’t be done on the old system.
This makes me think of my biggest gripe with the social media I use and it’s the lack of feeling safe, and I don’t mean that I want to be sheltered or have content hidden from me. I’m tired of living in the giant melting pot.
trainsaresexy@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Conversations like this are why I want more people, especially "normies", in the FediverseEnglish1·8 months agoI’m not sure. Maybe I’ll try to spend more time in this community, it doesn’t pop up on my main feed that much but I usually find the topics interesting. I think there are a lot of directions lemmy could go and I don’t want to commit to one idea yet. Categorizing sounds like a big effort even if it’s automated.
trainsaresexy@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Conversations like this are why I want more people, especially "normies", in the FediverseEnglish2·8 months agoI think my user blocking has been effective since I don’t see content like that coming out of .ml. ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆ should be a day 1 block for new users.
I just checked and in the last year I haven’t had to block any instance except nsfw, which is surprising because I never see grad users in my feed. My lemmy experience has been more variable from low effort, snap judgement, or reddit-like comments coming out of .world.
