Yep. This was me. I followed the android Sync app here. User-created content should not be monetized. Im not going to subscribe to something that’s mostly memes, attention-seeking behavior, and bullshit.

I had hated reddit for ages. Many trigger-happy omniscient mods who couldn’t admit to a mistake if it swam up their arse and blew a trumpet. I was eventually perma-banned for glorifying violence by making a Star Wars reference about Trump. I can only assume the mod wasn’t old enough to remember Star Wars movies.

I had been there from the bright and cheerful early days and watched it become 99.8% trash.

Lemmy has hit the rewind button for me. It kinda sucks that so many people are trying to emulate what modern reddit had become, but it still feels refreshing. With a bit of luck, Lemmy will go in a direction I prefer. It’s not that I don’t want people to do whatever they want, but i feel like some instances will cater to certain demographics.

Amazing nostalgia. I can’t remember how to do it!

This is the one. It’s a perfect relaxation show.

I don’t think that’s WHY it’s stigmatised. It had to be stigmatized before that to be applied to selfish people.

It’s a disorder that is harmful to others and difficult to understand. For others to cope with it requires navigating a complex network of negative behaviors. Manipulation and lack of empathy are the traits of a psychopath, and none of us want that.

The OP lacks empathy but evidentally desires it from others. If you understand why you need empathy, then you understand why lack of empathy is stigmatised.

Three-ish years. We live in different countries, and covid happened.
