Thank you. I think you’re right. It must be so nice to be able to have a family one can love.

“Oh yeah, that’s the shit! They’re really loving me now!”

The part about EXIF data is true, but they’re very upfront about this, and they have a sticky post informing people about this and instructing them how to remove the EXIF data themselves. My take is that it’s just a limitation of the site design, it’s good that they inform people upfront, and removing EXIF data a useful thing for people to learn how to do regardless.

As far as privacy is concerned, I’d say that yeah – they’re very pro-privacy. You can still connect with people, though. I’ve met some people on raddle who I’ve actually chatted with off site. So I wouldn’t say it’s anything more than the privacy culture here.

The one thing that sometimes turns people away from raddle is that people on the site tend to have very well-read and carefully formed opinions, and they can sometimes come off as being aggressive and confrontative. But even the people who may come across like that at first are actually very empathetic, once you spend more time there and observe how they interact.

I’ll just say this: I’ve personally not seen anything on raddle that would turn me away from using the site, and I’ve been there off and on since leaving reddit in June.

I like the 196 on raddle, but I keep forgetting to use raddle

This was a good read, thanks. I’ve known so many people who have separated from their parents, and every single one of them has a good reason. I’ve often wondered how the parents tell it from their side. I’m sure every single one of them was “loving” and “nurturing” by their own account, even the dad who couldn’t accept that his son was gay, or the parents who perpetually and deliberately misgendered their daughter. I’ve known so many such cases, and sadly some have ended in tragedy.

Me, I’ve had good parents, but I have a brother who’s an abusive asshole who I want nothing to do with, and occassionally I get the “he’s your brother, you’ve got to love him” schtick from third parties. No. I really don’t.

No one is obligated to stay connected with family who are hurtful, especially when it’s the parents who were the ones who chose to bring you into this world. It’s massively unfair for people to expect that we just tolerate, even love, abusive family.

“When I was a child, the large skeleton ripped through the fabric of space and devoured my siblings, and I turned out fine!”

This is in Minnesota. When I was a kid, I begged my parents to drive to see it. They rented a room at some motel in Bemidji and made a weekend of it. The highlight of my trip was seeing the huge Paul Bunyan and Babe statues.

I thought they were so great and it was like they came to life out of a book, but now that I see them again… holy shit lmao

It’s obvious they were right. I’ve experienced it as well. “Oh you don’t support right-winger Biden, then you must support Trump”

Just batshit ignorance and wild unfounded accusations coming from the centrists

I wouldn’t say they’re both the same, because Republicans are clearly worse, but it’s like comparing Jeffrey Dahmer to Ted Bundy

They’re still both extremely bad, though. Unacceptably so. Telling me my best option is to vote for the less bad genocidal maniac is not a good look.

I’ve got family and loved ones in detention camps and/or being deported under Biden. How can I vote for him again?

I was told he would be much better than Trump. He just hasn’t been. He’s even continued building Trump’s wall.

I feel like I got duped into voting for Biden last election. My expectations of him were abysmally low, but he has still managed to deeply disappoint.

The lesser of two fascisms?

Their statement was totally relevant to this situation. You may not like it, but it was an accurate observation of what centrists expect from progressives.

There’s nothing that leads me to believe that user supports Trump. This is an unhinged, unfounded accusation.

I’d say from the perspective of a Palestinian in Gaza or the perspective of a refugee in a concentration camp, yes.

My expectations of Biden were abysmally low when I cast my vote for him, but damned if he hasn’t still managed to disappoint me

Idk I don’t really care that much about video content, so I’ll leave that up to someone else to parse. If someone provides an entirely free, ad-free way to share videos, then great. If not, then oh well.

Not me though. Lemmy.one disables downvotes, so your comments look upvoted to me.

But yeah, fuck corporations, I’m onboard with that.
